PRACTICE AS IF YOU ARE THE WORST.

COMPETE AS IF YOU ARE THE BEST.

It doesn’t matter what you do, or who you are…you’re going to encounter obstacles. On the field, in the classroom, in the boardroom and at home.

Someone once said that life was a series of problem-solving events. We can’t avoid challenges or adversity.

What we can do is change our reactions to them.

I believe that in every challenge, there is a lesson to be learned. You can use adversity to your advantage. Instead of being frustrated, be fascinated. Enjoy the pressure; enjoy the challenge.

That’s what winners do.

Act like a winner today!

Do yourself a favor and watch this!

ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Regardless of title, bank balance or age, each individual has the ability to be a force for good. One person can make a difference. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” (From Success Magazine)

Is it good enough to be great at your sport or job?

Or is part of greatness making a difference in the world, being a role model or inspiring others?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to be the best in the world, as long as you are being the best FOR the world.

Go all out. Lead by example.

Start today.

Here’s a great bit of advice from the business world…

“When everything gets really complicated and you feel overwhelmed, think about it this way: You gotta do three things. First, get the cow out of the ditch. Second, find out how the cow got into the ditch. Third, make sure you do whatever it takes so the cow doesn’t go into the ditch again.”
-ALBERT C. BLACK JR.

Now, you may not have a cow to worry about, but you probably have challenges at work, at school, in sports, in music or in your relationships.

Follow the same steps and you will be pleased with the results.

Here’s a secret…

It’s easier to do something every day than it is to do once in a while.

This is important, so let me repeat it…

It’s easier to do something every day than it is to do once in a while.

It’s easier to workout every day.

It’s easier to eat healthy every day.

It’s easier to give all-out effort every day.

It’s easier to practice the violin every day.

Why does this work?

Because when you do something every day, it becomes a habit.

You can’t NOT do it.

When you do something once in a while, you have to motivate yourself to do it.

What are you going to start to do every day?
