What are the most important things in your life? How do you need to prioritize and manage these things? We can all get busy and say yes to the wrong things at times. But we are also always in control to recalibrate our priorities.
When you put all of the big rocks (the main things) in the container first, you can fit a lot of little rocks and sand around it. But if you add too much sand or too many little rocks first, you will not fit all of the big rocks you need for a healthy and full life. (Watch more.) What are your big rocks? Make sure you fully put your heart into these…they are the most important after all. Relationships Personal growth Service to others Training your craft Faith Creating Self discovery/ becoming more self aware #getbetter With a new school year beginning, today’s share is a few “bold aspirations” I recently read. These apply to us all, and shed light on some common struggles we all face in trying to be our best.
Bold Aspirations: 1. Acknowledging that fear is a very normal emotion, and that we must face it and rise above it to achieve what we most want. What we most want is on the other side of fear. Take the leap. Fear doesn’t mean stop. 2. Acknowledging that failure and adversity are an inevitable part of the process and allowing those experiences to be learning and growth opportunities. Trust in growth, and understand it feels like a speed bump. When we come up short, we should push harder. (We call this “Next best action”) 3. Choosing to be around people who add value to your life and not spending time or energy on those who don’t. This may be the most important aspiration for young people. We are all influenced. Choose the right people to place in your life who influence you to be better everyday! Hopefully we can remember and practice these aspirations for a deeper understanding of ourselves. We are halfway through August… just think where you could be by mid-October! #getbetter Confidence is built internally. Confidence, or self-trust, is strengthened by our mental approach and our internal dialogue. “I got this.” “Bring on the challenge, I was built for this.” It’s a swag inside our minds of who we are and what we can handle.
Who doesn’t want to operate with a high level of self confidence and consistency performing at their best? All of us can build and train this belief, starting by paying attention to our inner dialogue and growing in self awareness of what we actually say to ourselves. Evaluate your self talk. What do you say to yourself? Is it critical? When do you caution yourself because of fear? Is it positive? Is it confidence building? Is it full of belief in your abilities? Step one is to evaluate. Then we can begin to frame our self talk in a more positive, productive way. To be great, we must limit the thoughts that get in our own way. |
