As kids, if we were arm wrestling, when you were in pain, you would say uncle. This was the case for any pain related activity.
Saying uncle meant the other person would stop inflicting pain and you gave up and they were declared the winner.
Sometimes, you just have to say uncle.
You need energy abundance! Although some of that is physical, you can go into hyper drive if you use your mind properly.
Your mind can push you way beyond your current limits. Your mind, well harnessed, can make you go beyond all your expectations.
If you get into the zone and tap into flow, you can be unstoppable.
Pay attention Oilers!!
Aiming for ’on time’ is ok but you will often end up a little later than hoped or a little frazzled. It’s not worth the frazzle!
Be early rather than on time. You’ll feel better getting there, when you get there and later on because you did so well.
Life sure is.
Get your head down and do the grinding work. You don’t want to do it but a few disciplined hours each day to move key projects forward will pay off. Within days or weeks you will be over the 50% point and feel the forward momentum.
The whole project will feel lighter as you get past 50% and soon progress past 60%. Rather than feeling drained and restrained, like at the start of the project, you begin to focus on completing and celebrating your successful completion.
Project milestones can impact your mindset and this is especially true once you pass the tipping point.
Stay focused and keep plugging away. Use your discipline and you will gather momentum towards your success!!
Trust is a delicate thing. You can’t force people to trust you. How you act, what you say and the vibe you give off would determine the level of trust granted to you.
Animals and strangers quickly decide what level of trust to confer on you. Your smell, stance, face, interaction, body language, voice and tone all combine to give a sense of who you are.
Sometimes life hits hard and it would be easy to get lost down a negative rabbit hole. You need to resist that. Take a moment and refocus.
Train all your energy on being a positive force with a positive mindset. Be grateful for all that you have. It is far more than you think. Appreciate where you are and what you have. The grass is greener where you water it. So pour some water on your side of the street.
Maintain, or re-establish, a positive focus. Do not let the negative thoughts gain a foothold in your mind. You can beat this and lead people to a better place if you stay positive focused.
Not everything will go to plan. There will be speed bumps. Prepare for them in advance as best you can. Prepare mentally for the challenge. There will be tough times in your life but you can overcome them on your road to success.
We saw it with the Pacers tonight at OKC as they clawed back throughout the game and finally took the lead with 0.3 seconds remaining.
It happened with Panthers at Oilers, also in Game 1 of the finals. Both teams battled down to the wire until there were just 31 seconds left in Overtime, before the winner emerged.
Keep digging deep. Never give up. The win is there for those of you determined to fight till that final moment.
Even if your whole world is falling apart, keep smiling. You’ll feel better.
