Syd Banks said, “Thought is the creative agent we use to direct us through life; a divine gift, which shapes our reality as it quality changes moment to moment.”  The Quality of our thoughts are constantly changing, and with it, so too are our feelings about the circumstances within a competition. Trying to deal with negative thoughts only gives the thoughts power. Everyone’s reality is created by their thinking. No matter what the challenge, you do not know the final outcome. It is important to be aware of the value of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions throughout the competition.
