Wayne Gretzky – “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
byAndrew McGivern - Motivational Quotes and Daily Inspiration | Quote of the Day

Welcome to The Daily Quote – I'm Andrew McGivern.

This episode is brought to you by the Great News Podcast. Tired of all the doom and gloom news from mainstream media? You'll get none of that there! Instead you'll find inspiring stories and developments making the world a better place.

Follow the Great News podcast today.

Today's quote comes from Wayne Gretzky, known as ”The Great One” and the greatest hockey player in history.

He said:

”You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.”

One hundred percent. Not some. Not most. Every single one.

Think about what Gretzky is saying here. When you don't try, your success rate is zero. Guaranteed.

When you DO take the shot? You might miss. You might fail. But you also might succeed. And that possibility – that chance – only exists when you take the shot.

Gretzky scored 894 career goals. The most in NHL history. But you know what else? He missed thousands of shots. Probably tens of thousands.

But he kept shooting. Because he understood: the shots you don't take have a 0% success rate. The shots you DO take? Some percentage greater than zero.

And that's all you need. A chance.

Most people don't fail because they try and miss. They fail because they never take the shot in the first place.

They don't ask for the opportunity. Don't apply for the job. Don't start the business. Don't make the call. Don't take the risk.

And then they wonder why nothing ever happens. Why they're stuck. Why their life doesn't change.

Gretzky's answer is simple: because you're not taking shots.

The shot might miss. Probably will, actually. Most shots do. But 100% of the shots you don't take definitely miss.

So take the shot. Ask the question. Make the call. Apply for the thing. Start the project. Take the risk.

Because the only way to guarantee failure is to not try at all.

So here's the question: What shot aren't you taking right now? What opportunity are you avoiding because you might miss?Remember – you're GUARANTEED to miss the shots you don't take. Taking it just gives you a chance.

Take the shot. See what happens.

That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern – I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
