Mental Toughness Secret #24

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." - Viktor Frankel

Action Step For Today:

Make a list of the things you feel you have no choice about doing, and revisit each one. Do you really have to do them, or are you choosing to do them? Could some of the less desirable things be omitted simply by making a choice? Delusion says you must do things. Objective reality says you always have a choice because you are always in control.

Mental Toughness Secret #22

"We usually think of advice as something that someone tells us, but I learned my most valuable lessons in life by example, by watching people around me both when I was growing up and when I was trying to stay true, in my business career, to the values they taught me. Yet, if there is one piece of advice that has been important to me, it is "Always remember where you came from." - John J. Mack

Professional performers start out as amateurs, just like everyone else, and they never forget it.

Action Step For Today:

Invest ten minutes today remembering your roots and what it took to get you where you are now. Write a note or place a call to someone who helped you along the way and thank him or her for what they did for you. Pay special attention to how taking these actions makes you feel.
