Getting things to happen before they even occur is an idea many of us could not begin to comprehend.

In life as in business, and for the most part, we let our past define us.

We can't get past our failures and downfall because we are held up by memories of what happened before.

And that's making it hard for us to even begin to see that there is a possibility to turn things around. We need to live now for the future to happen; leave the past to take care of its own.

How can we start to trust and believe in ourselves to make things happen and that something will happen?

It's about time we change our mindset.

Even when everything before is all messed up, there is always a way to come out of the other side successful. 

We can always rewire our thoughts and our habits and win in the end. 

Robert Broten is a mental health and performance coach working with elite amateur and professional athletes including Junior, College, and Professionals.

He challenges and supports athletes and coaches to create strong mental and behavioral habits so they can build elite focus, manage adversity, and get promoted to the next level.

In this episode, Robert touches on Neuro-Linguistics Programming -- how we can reframe our subconscious mind to make new patterns that allow us to move forward, take action, conquer our fears, find opportunities and crush those limiting beliefs. They hinder us from fully realizing our highest potentials as human beings -- entrepreneurs, athletes, or anything we want to be in life.

"Once you can calm your own emotions and get rid of your own traumas and deal with your own baggage, then it becomes so much easier to be proactive to be thinking in the right way to be focused on your goals and to do the things, the daily habits that were so hard for you to do when you were feeling miserable when you were feeling afraid. When that's gone, then all of a sudden you can start becoming a performer." - Robert Broten
