Persevere

This is hard. Hanging in there and persevering through the thick and thin is exceptional difficult.

Parts of you are screaming to stop the madness. And yet you keep going. That’s mental toughness.

Can We Agree?

Next time you have a conversation with someone, and there is a difference of opinion, try something new. Try to see where you can agree, rather than disagree. See how many points around that topic, you can agree with each other on.

It’s a lot more exciting, interesting and positive to find the common themes rather than finding things to argue about.

Not Knowing

There are times when not knowing something Is better than knowing. And there are times when not knowing something will drive you crazy.

Our minds will fill in the blanks based on our biases, if we don’t get information to fill the knowledge gap.

Often the stories we make up will be negative or have a negative edge. That’s just a natural tendency for our brain.

So be careful when you don’t know information that you don’t just fill it in with fear and negative thoughts.

Keep Digging

Sometimes you need to keep digging to find the answers. Everything makes sense with enough information. If something isn’t making sense, it’s because you’ve probably made an assumption and you don’t have enough actual information

Most things happen for a reason, and it’s your job to uncover the actual reason. Not the reason you think should be the answer but the actual reason.

Our brains love to shortcut things and think it’s seen this story before and therefore uses unrelated data to complete a story. This is not a good way to think. It’s quick, but not effective. Every single situation has different data points, decision points, and variables. Some of the variables are big and significant and some are small and seemingly insignificant.

Regardless of the size of the variable, the simple act of changing one very tiny thing actually changes everything.

So be rigorous with your thinking. Use all the data points you can find and then go find some more. Keep digging!

List What You Want

Stop spending so much time on what you don’t want in life. It’s like praying for bad things to happen.

Start focusing on what you do want each day. List what you want and then focus on that list. It will be a bit uncomfortable and you’ll find it a bit difficult the first few times you make or add to this list. But then it will get easier and you’ll start to see the results you were looking for. You might even go on to become unstoppable!

Training And Repetition

If you want to change anything in your life, you really need to do some training and repetition until that thing is exactly how you want it.

If you wanted to be able to play basketball better, you would have to train yourself to shoot, pass, and dribble better. And the better bit comes from repetition. The more reps, done correctly, that you can do, the more likely you are to develop the skill, or habit, or thought pattern that you’re looking for. This would mean that when you want to activate that item, your training and repetition will mean that it activates immediately and in a great way.

Stop hoping and wishing.

Start training and repetition.
