It's Starts From The Mind

If you ask any athlete, they will tell you that winning starts from the mind before it is actualized on the race track.

At a tender age and as a young athlete I would always approach the race track with a winning mindset. I knew I didn't spend numerous amounts of time training, and seized every little opportunity I got to test my athletic skills to come and lose on the track.


So whenever we got on our mark, eyes were focused on the finish line, strategies were derived to set me up to win, and the energy would run from my mind through my body as an adrenaline rush. These ignited my inner power and unleashed the beast within.


When the whistle went off, I would take off like it was a do-or-die affair, I didn't care about who was on the track with me, as long as I couldn't see you, I was fine.

There was no time for rest, break, slow down, or to receive praise or distraction till I crossed the finish line. It was the same power energy from start to finish, not a single percent lower.?


At the finish line, this was when I would open up to receive the cheers from the crowd soaking in the well-deserved victory.


This was the secret of a 10-year-old girl who approached every race with a mindset to win and never lost a race. (At least not until I lost my drive for running in high school).


3 Key Points to pick from here:

Approach every challenge in life with a mind ready to win. No matter how hopeless that situation may look, give it your best shot.?

Eliminate all distractions. Whether your competitor, bad habits, or wrong association. As long as they are out of sight, you're good to go.

Build the required capacity. Don't approach opportunities unskilled. Train, gain insight, read widely, implement strategies, continue testing, and improve on skills. One word, Mastery. There is no room for “not good enough”. You have to strive to be the best.

The greatest lesson I learned then was, that there is no limit to what I can achieve if I just put my mind to it.

It is with this same mindset I approach my business, career, and even life challenges and come out on the top.


I didn't say it was gonna be easy but it's definitely gonna be worth it. So, what's it gonna be for you?
