When I played sports there was a lot of "talking smack" going on before and during the game. I was always perplexed why some people would do that. Well, after living 45+ years I am finally figuring it out. It's not talking smack at all. It is something called self talk. That internal drive to be the best is what drives it. And I found out you really need to know 3 things to get into the game.
- Who you are
- What you are in
- Where you are going
This applies not only to sports, at all levels, but to life and living as well. I am also learning how to apply it to business, friendships and everything else I do in life. For instance, in my business:
- Who are you
- I am a man that stands on principle
- I uplift and empower people
- I'm standing by the promise I gave my wife
- I am an example to my kids
- I'm not doing it because I like it or it's sexy. I am doing it because it is right. Not because it's easier. Because it is right!
- I would be negligent if I did not talk to these people
- I am their answer
- Nobody steps on my dreams
- What are you in
- I am in the best business in the world with the top leadership in the world
- This group creates multi-millionaires
- This system teaches me to be a better man/father/husband
- I'm in the number one compensation package, in a vehicle that allows me to be free
- Where you are going
- No test - no testimony
- I'm going to prove the negative people wrong (let them feed you)
- I'm going to get respect from my peers
- I'm going to be free
I have a ways to go. But you know what? *I* know I'll make it. How about you?
