Did you know where the phrase, "The whole 9 yards" came from?
In WWII, fighter pilots would have a machine gunner with a .50 caliber that had yards worth of ready ammunition. In times of stress, the pilot would tell the gunner how many yards to give. Nonetheless when things really hit the fan, he would belt out "Give them the whole damn nine yards!?" These men were in survival mode and had to do everything they possibly could to survive. They had to give it everything they had so as to stay alive.
How do we do this in life?
You have got to give every single day everything you have. Leave no path unexplored and leave nothing in the tank. Give yourself the best chance at life and achieving your vision. Give it the whole damn 9 yards.
Each of us is a true consequence of our repeated actions through time. We are the final tally of our decisions, habits, and choices of the paths we opt to walk. Therefore, if we are going to make an enormous change in life, we have to change the things that really caused us to arrive at this place.
You never can tell the boundaries of your deepest possibilities until you travel into uncharted waters. At 1 time or another, you have to leave the safety of the protected harbor and take a grand journey. Frightful? Yes. Mandatory? Hell yes.
It's so simple to be a spectator in your own life. We call this being up in the stands. Nonetheless to live a life you are crazy about you've got to get on the field and play in the game. For most that means taking the hits and enjoying the daily circumstances and challenges that come along with it. The final choice to get on the field of life can sometimes be stupendously frightening to many who are twitchy about going after what they sincerely love. But eventually, wih enough support and pressure from inside, those scared and timid souls will take the leap into the dark and begin their own journey in due time.
Give this life all that you've got. You only have one to live and you truly don't know precisely what you can do. So chase perfection knowing you may never reach it. At the end, you may notice that you achieved excellence instead.
