It was January 22, 1989. There was 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the game and the San Francisco 49ers were trailing the Cincinnati Bengals 16-13. And they were on their own 8 yard line. Pressure was mounting and it was now do or die time. This was the last chance the 49ers were going to have to score and they had to score in order to win Super Bowl XXIII.
Joe Montana, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, was leading the charge down the field. Brett Favre is the greatest quarterback of all time, but I digress.
As they were marching down the field Joe noticed some of his teammates were more tense than usual. Especially Harris Barton, a great offensive tackle who has a tendency to get nervous. As usual, Montana was just focusing on the situation, how far they had to go and how much time was left. Just then he happened to spot the late actor John Candy in the stands. “Look” he said, ‘isn’t that John Candy?” It was hardly what his teammates expected to hear in the huddle with the Super Bowl on the line. But it definitely broke the tension. “Everybody kind of smiled, and even Harris relaxed, and then we all concentrated on the job we had to do.”
And guess what.
They won Super Bowl XXIII with a pass from Joe Montana to John Taylor with 34 seconds left in the game.
RELAX… It’ll Be Okay
Tension, stress, anxiety are all detrimental to your success. You, and everyone else, cannot perform at your best if you’re not relaxed. When you are panicked and/or thinking irrational you’re focused on the negative. And it’s damn near impossible to have any type of success, or live a happy and fulfilling life, if you don’t have the ability to relax when times are tough and stay focused on the positive.
It seems like people are more stressed out, worried, tense and filled with anxiety than ever before. But why? We’re living in the greatest times known to man. We’re safer than ever before. It’s a fact that the world is the least violent it’s ever been, despite what the news brainwashes you with. And opportunity is abundant. There’s more millionaires and billionaires than EVER before.

You must keep moving at a time of crisis & of tremendous defeat. At a time when all is lost, it is that time when you keep moving anyway. You must keep moving at times of agony simply because it’s your responsibility & your destiny to find the best that is in you. At that particular time you must refuse to make a mountain out of a mole hill. You must stop demeaning yourself & burning holes in your self respect as a human being because of some agony. You must stop caring for attention because the world seems at and end to you. You must learn to relax when? When times are tough, not when times are easy. It’s no challenge to relax when times are easy.
I know and you know you’re ready to take control of your life. And that’s what you need to do in order to live a life that you want to live. Not a life someone else wants you to live. And this book will put you on the road to that life.
