I love this quote, because it's the truth,
"whether you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T, you're right!!"
It's all about your mindset, what your thoughts are, what you tell yourself.
Have you ever wondered about how strong your mind is?
Have you ever thought about your thoughts?
It's been said that we think 60,000 thoughts a day
40% are on the future of which 99% are worrying about what might happen.
30% are on the past - that we can do nothing about
12% are on doubts
10% on worries about health
8% what's actually happening in the present
92% of our thoughts are on what might, could, has happened, all of which we can do nothing about.
8% of our thoughts are on the present.
Imagine what you could do if you trained your mind to use 92% of its time on the present and what you can do. What could you do then?
I often think if I was brighter, more intelligent I'd be more successful.
Interestingly I read an article that said intelligence only accounts for 30% of your achievement. So what makes the bigger impact - it's mental toughness, mental strength or grit. Whatever you want to call it, it's that perseverance and passion to achieve, its way more important than anything else. The other great piece of news is that you can develop it. It's like a muscle, the more you use it, grow it, develop it, the better you get.
So what do you need to do?
Show up, don't miss out on workouts, projects, assignments
Have a clear daily goal and don't deviate
Build up those around you, all the time
Be consistent, do the most important first, be responsible and accountable.
Push yourself the extra mile, whether it's an extra push up, or not eating the last chocolate. Prove you can do it. Build daily habits that keep you on track, don't be blown off course. When you get blown off course, get back on track, be dedicated to your daily routine and habits.
Remember 95% of the circumstances in life, mental strength simple comes down to being more consistent than everyone else.
Most of everything I now do is about being consistent and building up good daily habits.
