MESSAGE #1183 HOW SOFT IS YOUR PILLOW?

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

“The softest pillow is a clear conscience.”
-JOHN WOODEN

I want to give you a test. It’s called the pillow test.

Tonight, when you put your head on the pillow, see which of the following you say to yourself…

“I’m glad I did.”

OR

“I wish I had.”

See, one of the mental toughness secrets of the greatest athletes in history is this…

THEY GO ALL OUT.

Or, as I always say, “It’s better to go all-out and lose than it is to hold back and win. Because when you hold back, you are training yourself to hold back.”

As you go through your day, you will have many decisions to make, and the only thing you should consider is this…

“Am I going to go all-out or am I going to hold back?”

Let me know how you do on the test.

Leave your comments below and thanks for reading.

MESSAGE #858 LEARN FROM MY MENTOR…

“At the end of the day, take the pillow test – when you put your head on the pillow, are you going to say, ‘I’m glad I did,’ or are you going to say, ‘I wish I had’?”
-ROB GILBERT, Ph.D., Ed Tseng’s mentor

My only question for you today is…

Are you going to go all out, or are you going to hold back?

My good friend and mentor, Dr. Rob Gilbert, is a college professor and one of the top sports psychologists and motivational speakers on the planet.

After his students graduate, many times they come back and visit.

They never say, “I wish I would have partied more.”

They always say, “If I worked just a little bit harder, I could have been national champion.”

How are YOU doing?

WHAT are you doing?

Here is my challenge to you…

Go all out today, and at the end of the day, take the Pillow Test…and see if you say, “I’m glad I did.”
