Interpretation
Your greatest potential for success is often found in what you already have around you.
This quote by Brian Tracy emphasizes the importance of recognizing and leveraging the opportunities that exist in our current circumstances.

In practice
In a career workshop, you might say this quote to encourage participants to evaluate their current roles.
Your ability to set goals is the master skill of success. Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas and energy for goal attainment. Without goals, you simply drift and flow on the currents of life. With goals, you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your target.
Plan your work and work your plan. Decide in advance exactly how you are going to get from where you are to where you want to go.
Rewrite your major goals every day, in the present tense, exactly as if they already existed
Aspire greatly; anything less than a commitment to excellence becomes an acceptance of mediocrity.

Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.
I will keep a smile on my face and in my heart even when it hurts today.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
The greatest feeling you can get in a gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is the pump. Let's say you train your biceps, blood is rushing in to your muscles and that's what we call the pump. Your muscles get a really tight feeling like your skin is going to explode any minute and its really tight and its like someone is blowing air into your muscle and it just blows up and it feels different, it feels fantastic.
For a quick lap at the Nrburgring, you've probably experienced more in seven minutes...than most people have experienced in all their life in the way of fear, in the way of tension, in the way of animosity towards machinery and to a racetrack.
