“Create Your Comfort Zone”
Quote: Almost all of the world-class athletes and other peak performers are visualizers. They see it; they feel it; they experience it before they actually do it. They began with the end in mind. You can do it in every area of your life. Create an internal "comfort zone." Then, when you get into the situation, it isn't foreign. It doesn't scare you.
