American Idol

Ok, so I just got done watching the American Idol finale last night.


Both of the final contestants are extremely talented.


Both of them put everything they had into the contest.


Both of them are living their dream.


Both of them are extremely passionate about music.


As soon as the show ended, I thought to myself...


That is the mentality that all athletes need to have if they want to be successful!


"If you never settle for less that 110% effort...your success will be lucrative"

Never Quit...

Persevere: to continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success.

The Mind is your most Powerful Tool

Imagination: the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses

Inspiration

Inspiration: the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative.

Inspiration is a catalyst for all things great in life. I challenge you to figure out what it is that inspires you...

Being Proactive = Positive Results

Time to self-reflect...

If the following resembles you, great you are a proactive thinker. If not, time to start taking baby-steps toward this type of thinking.

• Always find a way to make it happen
• Are thankful for what you have
  
• Think before you act
• Are not easily offended
• Focus on things you can do something about, not on the uncontrollable
  
• Bounce back when something bad happens
• Take responsibility for your choices
• Never complains
• Says things like, "I can do better than that" or "I can" or "There's got to be a way"

I'll leave you with a quote:
"Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force."
