MESSAGE #530 THE ONLY FORMULA YOU NEED TO KNOW…
Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Grant Williams in Cape Town, South Africa.
Do you have a voice inside your head?
Of course you do-we all do.
It is your choice, though, whether you use it in a positive or negative way.
Let me explain…
If you’re in a match situation and you hit two forehands into the net, do you say to yourself…
A) WHY am I hitting everything into the net?!
B) WHY am I so terrible?!
C) HOW can I fix this?
D) Maybe I should try golf…
These are different reactions to the same situation.
Hopefully your answer was C).
Winners ask “HOW?”
Losers ask “WHY?”
The only formula you need to know is this…
E + P = R
Event plus Perception equals Reality.
Write it down on an index card and keep it in your tennis bag, book bag or briefcase. Look at it and think about it often.
A winner says “I can do this better,” and a loser says, “That’s the way I’ve always done it.”
