Creating A Legacy

Mental Toughness Secret #10

"Nothing external to you has any power over you." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Action step for today:

Commit to compartmentalizing problems by focusing exclusively on one problem at a time. Imagine you are the president of the united states. You must keep a clear, unemotional mind during the problem-solving process. The masses multitask. The great ones focus.

Mental Toughness Secret #9 - Champions Embrace Relativity

"The great ones are highly aware of the fact that all perceptions are based on the experience and belief of the beholder. This is the reason they surround themselves with people who think much bigger than they do. Beliefs and expectations are contagious, and champions are eager to catch as much as they can." - Steve Siebold

Action Step For Today:

Listen to how people around you measure the size and scope of things. When you hear someone placing a value on something, using their own perspective as a reference point, challenge them. For example, if someone says, "This is a huge project, Bob," reply, "Really. Compared to what?" Try this and see the reaction you get.

The Great One's Separate Truth From Fact

"We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood." - William James, 1842-1919, author

Action step for today: 

Write down 10 things you know are fact, and rethink each by asking, "Is this really a fact, or a truth I've created from my own or others' perceptions?" for example: Is it a fact that the sky is blue? Is it a fact that you are a nice person? Is it a fact that the faithful will be rewarded in heaven? You'll see how often we operate from truth, rather than fact.

Champions Are Driven By Emotional Motivators

Ask these five critical thinking questions:

1) What am I willing to fight for?

2) What values do I hold dearest to my heart?

3) What values would I be willing to die for?

4) If I could achieve a single thing, what would make all my hard work worth the struggle?

5) If I had thirty seconds left to live, what would I tell my children are the three most important things I learned about how to live a happy life? Your answers will tell you a lot about what drives you emotionally.
