MENTAL TOUGHNESS for life publication

“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.” - Mark Twain

The word retirement says it all, to withdraw or cease.

Deep down in everyone’s psychological house is the innate desire to do something worthwhile and purposeful. Without this we are already dead.

We’re going to put on a new set of clothes, ideas, goals, aspirations, dreams and absolutely anything that continues to provide us with purpose.

The masses will tell you to slow down. We don’t have to slow down. We have to speed up but calm down.

You have so many untapped talents that haven’t had the opportunity of sprouting towards fruition. There are so many things that you’ve wanted to do but never had the quality time to do them. Don’t follow the masses that believe that they are in the final phase of their life. This is only the beginning of an amazing journey for you.

The best years are still ahead and you only have to flip the switch in your brain and switch it to a new, different, exciting, unimaginable and incredible idea that will catapult you towards your greatness. Rekindle what you have always wanted at your core.

"Don’t worry about what people say about you. Let the naysayers nay. They will eventually grow tired of naying." - Ellen DeGeneres

Get rid of the naysayers & believe that you can do it. 

These people are everywhere. They are piranhas in your midst. They love to kill your dream, your goal or your aspiration. I am not telling you not to do your homework. Do your research. Investigate all options. After it’s all said and done, you need to make a decision. Not making a decision is making a decision.

If you are not strong, confident and inspired by a burning desire, you will pack up your suitcase at the very first obstacle. 

Criticism will bombard you from people who were supposed to be your friends or even loved ones.

As you begin to gain momentum in your quest for your success, the same people will fade into the sunset or begin to take notice. Now, how many people can really survive this uphill battle? Most of them have already packed up their suitcase and moved back to status quo lane.

You see it’s comfortable there. Nobody is going to ridicule you as everyone is on an even keel. Don’t rock the boat. Do your job. Do the best that you can with what you have and then you die?

I don’t think so!

There is more to life than the latter.

When you strive and work towards something huge in your life you feel alive and vibrant. Every single cell of your body says thank you to you. You will think that you’ve had enough but something inside of you is pressing you to move forward.

What is it?

It’s that burning desire within you that is seeking expression without, regardless of present circumstances.

"There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

If you are driven internally, you are driven by your purpose and not by the status quo. Set your sights right now on the environment that will allow you to grow and you will instantly find the right fit.

My definition of the word focus is “fierce optimum concentration unusually sustained.”

Focus only on what you want to achieve.

The universe has big eyes, big ears and laser-focused attention on what you ask for, good, bad or indifferent every single day of your life. Do not be deceived by the autocratic nature of how you are going to achieve your heart’s desire, as this controlling force will crush any aspiration towards oblivion.

Remember, dinosaurs are long gone. Be a game changer and reinvent your game every single day so you don’t become extinct. You only need one idea to transform your life. Determine how to create more value than anyone else on the face of the earth.

What is risk?

Risk is the realization that you can actually be, do or have more in your life. Investigate and explore all options that allow you to grow as a valuable and nurturing human being. 

All the power is internal and not external. 

As Dr. Thurman Fleet stated , “Treat the cause and not the symptoms.” A few years ago, a gentleman went to his doctor and asked him what was the cause of his ailment. The doctor responded, “We don’t know the cause, we just treat the symptoms.” 

How can we possibly get better results if we don’t treat the cause so it doesn’t come back to haunt us again? We want to begin to think by design. We are the designers of our lives by our thoughts, feelings and actions. Living by default is a cop out and goes nowhere as we rely totally on present circumstances. 

Present circumstances do not count as they are continually changing. Focusing on present circumstances limits your ability to view the world beyond your personal perception. God gave all of us free will and this free will allows us to move past present circumstances and really see the possibilities. 

Embrace fear with courage.

Courage is acting in the face of fear. Courage is absolutely essential if a person wants to realize their dreams and live in freedom. There’s a whole big wide world of magnificence out there and you can have it but you must believe in yourself and persevere. 

Life = Risk,  so me must risk in order to be, do or have more.

Watch this now.

“People would rather find a good alibi than struggle for an achievement. It protects their vulnerable ego and allows them to avoid the brutal truth. Easy is weakness. Hard is strength.” - Darren Hardy

Human beings are passionate, blood flowing energy driven creatures that range from the peaceful dove, playful dolphin to the ravaging piranha, tsetse fly and AFP mosquitoes that kill up to 725,000 people per year.

As soon as the insatiable ego steps into the mix, everything begins to go south. Common sense, logic and everything else that has the ability to stabilize the communication is out the window. The amygdala now kicks everything into high gear and explosive emotions derail any possible solution.

In essence, it’s all about defusing potentially, explosive, destructive and meaningless drama by eradicating the ego, reaction and emotion from the mix to the best of our ability.

Is it easy?

Not in your life!

"If people can learn to hate they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." - Nelson Mandela

As you embark on this personal journey, abandon the need for approval from anyone. You’re perfect just the way you are right now and you are in a process of a wonderful enfoldment according to God’s divine plan.

Sally Hogshead stated this beautifully in one of her blogs, “There will always be someone who believes you are wrong, or bad, or broken, or imperfect. But the truth is, we are all perfectly imperfect, every one of us. Live your life with passionate imperfection. Love your mistakes and so-called imperfections. Never stoop to hate. Hate is easy, but love is hard, very hard. Choose to love. Refuse to live an insignificant life. The world is not changed by people who sort of care. You do not need to "fix" yourself, because who you are is exactly right. And we will always, always love you for who you already are.” 

Therefore, do not compare yourself to anyone whatsoever as this derails any possibility of growing towards your potential in this lifetime.
