Winning in life is key, if you are going into life to not win then why are you here? Life is all about trying to become the best version of you! Everyone thinks that winning if going over the line first, that isn’t it, winning is about being better than you were yesterday. Winning is about pushing yourself to get over your own finish line, winning is about stepping outside of your own comfort zone. That is winning. Believe me, don’t get me wrong, I love to get across the finish line first, my competition is not everyone else, my competition is me, it is about pushing my limits of what I think I can do and taking off the governor. I am not someone that is naturally smart, athletic or gifted. For me to win, I need to work harder, go longer, think more and apply myself more than most. I know that when I don’t do the things that push me forward, I start going backwards; it plays with my mind, body and spirit. I get really pissed off at myself when I lose momentum. In my subconscious I know that what I am doing isn’t working. I know that it is really forcing me backwards when I want to go forward. It makes me feel guilty, anxious and gross. In reality it is real time feedback from my mind and body telling me what I have and haven’t done. That is why it is so much easier to focus on the win rather than focus on being mediocre.

Most of us are looking to get the next level!
We are hungry for more, but many are looking for motivation from external sources, that is not where the next level comes from. It comes from your heart, your desire and your soul. Many times when you need motivation it is to late. In our culture we think that we need to throw money at someone to motivate them. There is also the mindset that if we are going to take something away that they will also be motivated. These are both polar opposites looking for the same results! The best way to get what you want is to have a burning desire to be better than you were yesterday. Push that one extra step, put that last drink down, lift that last rep, save that extra dollar. Those are the little things that will compound into the big results that you want. Get out of your comfort zone and make it happen! |
