MESSAGE #739 CAN YOU? OF COURSE YOU CAN…
“Human beings, by changing the inner beliefs of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.”
-WILLIAM JAMES
Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great David Ostermann Gartner from Slovenia.
Yesterday I talked about acting differently than how you feel.
This is one of the keys to peak performance in sports, and life.
“Act as if” is also one of the principles that I talk about in my book. Most people only use a fraction of the potential that they have. Why? Because they think, “I can’t” more than they think, “I can.” They act according to how they feel. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In Eastern philosophy, when you are pushed, you pull and when you are pulled, you push. You should fight fire with water. You should fight anger with love. And you should fight “I can’t” with “I can.”
I know what you’re thinking, “How can I do this?”
It’s easy…
Act as if…it were impossible to fail.
That’s all.
Thanks for reading.
