Own your winning mindset, winning habits and winning attitude.
Your mind must be stronger than your feelings. Make the decision to be relentless, aka mentally tough.
Show up for you every single day because life is short, time is scarce and settling for mediocrity is not gonna cut it.
Few guidelines on BEing RELENTLESS:
(A) If it doesn't CONTRIBUTE to your happiness, your goals, or your bank account. You don't have time for it.
How many things are you doing because you have to instead of want to When the have to list gets longer than the want to list, you've lost sight of what really matters.
People talk about wanting balance in their lives, because they're so overwhelmed and busy and there's no time for anything. So what's the first thing they do to get some balance? They add more things. More time visiting the friends and relatives, more time developing hobbies, more time working weekends, more time scheduling weekend activities, more time, more time, more time.
That's not balance. That's chaos. Don't add. Subtract.Protect your time like you can't get more of it…because you can't.
(B) You do not have to LOVE everything you do.
Here's something that holds you back from your goals, "You have to love what you do."
We hear that all the time, right? You have to love what you do… do what you love and you'll never work again. Not true. You do NOT have to love everything about the journey. It's the #1 reason people quit too soon: It stops being fun and they give up. They get discouraged and quit because it's not easy, it's not comfortable, and they realize THEY DON'T LOVE IT.
I'm okay with that. You don't have to love it.
(C) It is not selfish to take care of yourself. It is the BEST way to take care of everything else who counts on YOU.
There's a reason the airlines tell you to put on your own mask before assisting those around you. The better you are, the better you can help others. Don't fall into the guilt trap of believing you owe everyone else more than you owe yourself.
The workout you skipped, the project you didn't finish, the appointments you cancelled, all because you had to do things for others. You didn't just cheat yourself, you cheated them too. Your health, your success, your efficiency, everything about you impacts those you care about.
Invest in yourself. Take care of yourself. Not just for your own well-being, but for those who need you to be at your best.
(D) Learn to say NO.
Why is it so hard to say no? Think about how often people say no to you. It's not rude. It's not selfish. It's essential. At times saying NO to good is saying YES to something better... something GREAT.
The more successful you are, the closer you get to your dream, the more intensely you commit yourself to your own goals, the more you have to say NO to others.
(E) Mental toughness means you don't believe the hype when you win, and you don't fall apart when you lose.
Success is about the getting result, not what happens every hour. You can't afford the luxury of emotional highs and lows. Control your emotions or they will control you.
(F) When you can laugh at yourself, that's confidence. When you're worried what others are thinking about you, that's a problem.
You messed up and everyone knows it. So what? Who hasn't? Stop apologizing and start fixing the mess. Apologies are worthless without action behind them.
When you're confident, you don't care what others think. You can take your mistakes seriously and still laugh about them. True confidence is silent. It's strong. It's sexy. You don't have to announce it. It shows without you ever saying a word.
(G) Overthinking is the art of creating problems that don't exist.
How much time do you waste obsessing about things that will never happen? Catch yourself anticipating disaster and drama. Your mind must be stronger than your feelings…not the other way around.
Every time you stop to analyze, consider, think, rethink, go back to the drawing board, rethink some more, have a meeting, get some opinions, reconsider, talk it over, test the waters, sleep on it, kick it around, take it slow, put it on the back burner, think some more, and finally decide to not decide…someone else went ahead and got it done.
If you're the kind of person who needs a guarantee, you have no chance against those who are willing to work with unpredictable odds and are willing to take a chance.
We can work on this. You deserve better than a lifetime of indecision and second guesses.
Go ahead and share with me your thoughts and actions on BEing RELENTLESS. Vamos.
