Shot Not Taken
March 14, 2026
“Why would I think about missing a shot that I haven’t taken yet?”
A quotable line from Michael Jordan in the documentary The Last Dance.
It captures something we often do to ourselves. We defeat ourselves before we even begin. We imagine failure, embarrassment, rejection, all before the attempt.
Jordan’s message is simple. The future does not deserve fear before the attempt.
Just focus on taking the shot. The rest will take care of itself.
