I'M BACK!
It has been several months since I last posted and well, I'm glad to have the clarity of thought and time to consider new ideas and to try new things to better live to my potential. Which is what I enjoy exploring, human potential that is. The main reason I chose originally to be a coach was I felt "led there". You know, that moment in your life where you recognize you are pursuing interests rather than desires, wants or challenges. I had opportunity to participate in a number of sports with some decent successes, but I always had to seek out multiple people to help gain the edge I felt I might need. Sure, some say, yeah... "those that can do and those that can't teach," I think those that teach do for more purpose then themselves and perhaps for the greater good of all. My reality is that I've listened to "the world" far too much in my day and I coach for one reason. I want to help people achieve their goals and I want to do it in a manner that I always felt it should be done, a more complete and total package approach. That involves me having the energy, making the time, and choosing to be open to new and challenging ideas and concepts. I'm making a commitment on this blog to share more consistently ideas that will help any athlete or person to better focus on performing better.
Let me be realistic, I've been independently studying 'the great performers' for well over 14 years of my life now and both through experience, observation and a ton of reading those that perform have some very simple approaches and strategies. The really interesting fact is that few of the strategies vary from one arena to the other. Yep, what it takes to be successful in business are the same qualities it takes to be successful in sports. These are routine or daily practices that the more 'successful' seem to adhere to or live by. I hope to cover a number of these concepts in coming days, weeks, and months. Until then, here is a question for you to consider:
ANSWERS THIS QUESTION:
Q. What are your top 3 life priorities? List the top 3, don't take too much time, just list them out as you believe want these things to be.
- Once you have listed your three items turn to your calendar for the past week and review and note how those 3 things do or don't seem to hold place in your week.
- My example: I had family in one of the top 3 positions, but there was no family time in my previous weeks schedule; there were no phone calls to family or love ones, so how much of a priority is my family? A challenging fact to recognize.
- So, consider your priorities, if they are posted there and you don't devote time to them, then realize you are likely not pursuing what you value or desire most.
- Finally, make changes, a good friend shared with me this past year these words, "Well if there is something I don't like, I change it. Because I have that ability..." A matter of fact statement that we all seem to understand, but let's be realistic how many of you are living in the manner you really desire to be living?
