Ever had a bad day? Ever have a bad game? Ever feel like things are not going in your favor? Welcome to life. It happens.
Often times a subtle shift in mindset, clarity back to focus, and not dwelling on the past moments are enough to get us back on track. When things don’t go your way it is easy to drift away from the proper mindset where we focus on what we can control. We stray away from the principles and beliefs that we hold important to our hearts and mind to reach our goals. It happens. It is life.
But it is not okay.
We must work to be stronger mentally. We must work to shorten the amount of time we dwell in these thoughts and wander away from the game plan.
No matter what happens in the past(including a missed shot, missed foul call, missing assignment, injury, illness, etc.), no matter how frustrating or disappointing our behavior/actions have been in the past, our principles remain unchanged. We don’t deviate from working towards the future and what we know will allow us to be successful.
Whatever happened in the past now resides in the past. Nothing more can be done.
The beauty of life is that we can reignite the flame for success and life.
The beauty of life is that we can restart whenever we like.
So the question I have for you…….. Why not do it right now?
