Do you actually know where the phrase, "The whole 9 yards" came from?
In WWII, fighter pilots would have a machine gunner with a .50 caliber that had yards worth of ammunition. In periods of stress, the pilot would tell the gunner how many yards to give. Nevertheless when things really hit the fan, he would belt out "Give them the whole damn nine yards!?" These men were in survival mode and had to do everything they could to survive. They needed to give it everything they had in order to actually stay alive.
How could do this in life?
You have got to give each day everything you've got. Leave no path unexplored and leave nothing in the tank. Give yourself the best chance at life and achieving your ambitions. Give it the whole damn 9 yards.
Everyone is a result of our repeated actions all though time. We are the final tally of our choices, habits, and decisions of the trails we opt to walk. Therefore, if we're going to make an enormous change in life, we have got to change the things which lead us to arrive at this place.
You never can tell the limits of your deepest possibilities until you travel into uncharted waters. At 1 time or another, you have to leave the security of the protected harbor and take a grand journey. Frightful? Yes. Necessary? Hell yes.
It is so possible to be a beholder in your own life. We call this being up in the stands. Nevertheless to live a life you adore you've got to get on the field and play in the game. For most that implies taking the hits and enjoying the daily circumstances and challenges that come along with it. The choice to get on the field of life can sometimes be stunningly scary to many who are nervous about going after what they really adore. But ultimately, wih enough support and pressure from the soul, those shocked and timid souls will take the blind leap and begin their own journey in due time.
Give this life all that you have. You only have one to live and you actually don't know exactly what you can do. So chase perfection knowing you will never reach it. At the end, you will notice that you achieved excellence instead.
