Underdogs and losers. (A blog for a friend of mine).

By Chase Murphy on January 3, 2014
You can have all the gunpowder, ability and torque in the world, but if you lack the target, the bullseye, the ambition or drive necessary to funnel and push that talent; then you and everyone else will never discover your potential. 
There are people who spend much of their life spinning their wheels. They build up energy and ability, but never seize the opportunity to execute. To put that energy into motion. Instead, it's safer to keep that ability under wraps or just as bad, they lack the confidence to show it off. 
Everyone loves an underdog story.  None of us really believe, as individuals, that we are the king of the castle.  Sure, you can be part of a dominate team or group of successful people, but deep down inside there's a loser in all of us. A wimp. A big sissy baby. An outsider. 
You will never be discovered or live up to your potential because you will never dare to share anything worth exposing. Our abilities remain untapped and unseen because we haven't been noticed by the group. Hiding from the world is easy to do. At some point, you are going to have to put yourself out there.  Grow past your insecurities and live up to the underdog billing.  The only difference between the underdog and a loser is finishing the job. 
Defeat Goliath. Slay the dragon. Put yourself out there.
