10 powerful ideas I wish I knew 10 years ago:
Full Benefit
Navy SEALs have a saying.
When something sucks, they say: "Full benefit."
Instant mindset shift.
• Hiking in pouring rain? Full benefit
• Lose draft of a project? Full benefit
• Driving + car breaks down? Full benefit
Adversity makes us better if we let it.
Choices > Feelings
We make too many decisions by how we feel.
• Do I feel like making calls?
• Do I feel like working out?
• Do I feel like studying?
Elite performers prioritize choices over feelings.
They do what they choose to do.
Not what they "feel" like doing.
The Inner Scorecard
There are 2 ways to measure success:
• Outer Scorecard
• Inner Scorecard
The best live by the latter.
They measure success by things like:
• Values
• Principles
• Standards
• Excellence
• Commitment
Develop your Inner Scorecard.
Remember Tomorrow
Amidst struggle, remember how you’ll feel tomorrow.
• When you’re tired
• When you want to quit
• When you’re frustrated
• When you feel defeated
• When you doubt yourself
Remember tomorrow.
You'll feel proud and accomplished if you don't quit.
