This is what I know.
This is the only game there is.
We don’t get a new hand to play with.
We have to change the way we SEE the cards we’ve been dealt and realize that it’s only our responses and our decisions that will change how the game
goes.
I spent 50 years staring at the cards wondering when I might get some new ones. I thought if I just stayed steady, "nice" and compliant that good things would happen.
I was wrong. It was that mindset that kept me dissatisfied in many jobs. It was that mindset that kept me painfully oblivious to the signs of a woman checking out of a relationship.
Good things cannot come to us until we decide to stop
the bad things holding us back.
What are those things for you?
Who are the people in your life who suck life
and inspiration out of you?
What places do you go that keep your mindset in a persistent state of negativity?
What
things do you buy or bring into your life which have no contribution to your growth or feelings of personal ambition?
And what habits have you adopted that quietly erode your sense of personal power and productivity?
For a lot of men, those questions are too hard to answer. It’s easier to ignore them and turn the TV back on.
But not for you. You’re here because you want to push yourself.
The first step in changing your mindset is to change those things which sap you of personal initiative and ambition. Only then can you create the time and emotional capacity to starting pursuing those things that inspire you to change your mindset and live a more powerful life.
