Tennis is not only a fun sport,
but also a great way to exercise. You do not have to be a Venus Williams to
play; in fact, you do not even have to be good. Just running after the ball
alone will help get you into shape. This is a great way to strengthen your
cardiovascular system and lose weight. You can find tennis courts in just about
every city and if you would like to play but have no idea how, lessons are
reasonable. |

Believe in your dreams!
A winner is neither made nor finished in one try
This holds true except under one circumstance. That is as long as we don't give
up or never try. There have been a number of situations where persistence
has won out. Remember, there is no rule that says we have to already be an
expert before moving towards our dreams.
Life will show us the way towards achievement if we only allow ourselves to
remain focused on that which we want to see manifest in our lives.
Believe in the power of your dreams even if no one else does because when
you make them a reality it won't matter who doubted you.
