How To Play For The Long Run
It's pretty funny.
But humans tend to ignore the intangible & just focus on the tangible.
Think about it.
Why do you work out, the body & not the mind?
'The body of course!'
It's because you can physically SEE & TOUCH the body.
You can't do either with the mind.
And your brain loves structure.
Without the structure, it tends to throw your mind in a disarray.
And a frazzled mind leads to frazzled behaviors.
This is the predominant reason why you don't even consider working out the mind. It seems like a ludicrous concept.
But truth?
Your intangible self will play a greater role on your reality than you can imagine.
The spirit, mind & ego can be assess or liabilities.
But it can't be both.
The intangible element that I want to talk about today is the mind.
You see how everyone gets offended by everything nowadays? It's because they have a weak mind.
They lack mental toughness.
And lacking mental toughness will make a quitter out of you.
I used to quit a lot.
Would begin something, do it a few times, fail & jump onto the next thing.
Therefore, I know exactly how quitters think.
The life cycle of a quitter:
They see something in the external world that motivates them.
They feel super motivated, so they begin.
(a) After a series of fails, they become deflated.
(b) After a series of wins, they hit plateaus & become deflated.Quit.
Sound familiar?
I bet it does.
Quitting is one of the top 5 reasons why your self esteem is so low.
You prove to yourself that you can't get the job done.
But that's sad.
'Why?'
Because 90% + of success is going to come down to JUST SHOWING UP.
When you show up day in & day out, your subconscious mind starts to familiarize itself with the task, environment or future goal.
As it's starting to familiarize, it is going to feel a little startled.
Remember, your subconscious mind LOVES patterns.
So you chasing this big goal disrupts those patterns.
So yes, there will be a lot of discomfort in the beginning stages.
At this point, most will quit. Because they FEEL bad.
But a few winners, I estimate 1 out of 10, will show mental resiliency.
They will continue to show up.
Day in and day out.
As the days pile up, their mind is starting to familiarize itself with these FEELINGS.
At first, those feelings scared the mind.
But now?
The mind simply realizes those feelings are harmless.
Day in and day out.
Over time, the subconscious mind has formed new patterns.
It sees your goal, has adjusted to the new environment & re-calibrates.
You have shown mental toughness & heart.
Before entering any goal, just know that you will face challenges & plateaus.
Challenges hurt because you think you will never figure it out.
Plateaus sting because you were just figuring it out & begin to question if you broke something?
But no.
Just keep showing up.
I wish I could give you a detailed blueprint, but I can't.
Visibility is a superpower.
Whether it's in networking, goal chasing or just building mental resiliency.
Winners are always seen.
It's because they know they have a job to get done.
And they will use their mind to over power any uncomfortable feelings that say otherwise.
Be present & learn from these experiences.
Your temporary hurt will one day melt away.
But your strong mind will last you for another 10 lifetimes.
Become the 1 out of 10.
Be a winner & always play for the long run.
