The world is not designed to GIVE us a good life. It’s designed to distract us from building one. We must be diligent in designing & maintaining our own environment in ways that help us reach our goals. Pay attention to & eliminate things that distract & destroy your dreams.

When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at begin to change. Mindset Matters @APositiveCoach @GAShotCoach

When we are prepared mentally & physically, we can experience the game not just play it. We experience the game when we are in the “zone” or flow state. We don’t force or try to control. We experience. It’s a rare state yet can be enjoyed with preparation. @GAShotCoach

We can’t expect things to change if we keep the same mindset that either caused the problem or is hindering the change. Change your thinking and change your learning, growth, environment and life. @APositiveCoach @GAShotCoach

The only thing that is actually real is the present moment yet we spend the majority of our time & thoughts in the past or the future. Learn to be focused, intentional & purposeful in the present moment and see your life and the lives of those close change dramatically.

Make it a habit to get rid of your worst habit.

At the end of our life, will people celebrate our life or celebrate our death. Legacy matters and is mostly made up of how we treat people. What impact did we have.

When we focus too much (selfishly) on getting our piece of the pie, then the pie has a way of shrinking and going bad. When we focus more on increasing the size of the pie by helping others also earn what they want then everyone has the opportunity for a bigger slice.

Players: Choosing to do the hard things now will make things easier later. Choosing to do the easy things now will make things harder later. What are the “things” you’re doing today that are the easy way but will make your life (growth, learning, health) harder later?

Let’s allow mistakes/“failures” to REFINE us-not define us. Let’s reframe the challenging times to “why did this happen FOR me” instead of “why did this happen TO me.” One mindset is curious,optimistic & in control looking for ways to grow while the other is one of a victim.

Our road to a goal or to “success” will be partially paved with pain, challenge, discomfort, mistakes, etc. Many of those challenging situations are due to choices we make that aren’t beneficial to our success. If we want a shorter path to success we must make better…

Discipline isn’t punishment. Discipline is putting your future self first. Discipline today shows that you’re more concerned about future growth than today’s comfort. Daily discipline makes us stronger for tomorrow. Otherwise, we weaken each day until we break.

It’s not so much who or what you’re willing to love but who or what you’re willing to die for that truly matters. @APositiveCoach

Players, if you can’t manage yourself, you sure as hell can’t manage the outcome. Mindset Matters Mindfulness Matters @APositiveCoach @GAShotCoach

How much we do when we don’t feel like it, both mentally and physically, will determine our level of success. FYI, a lot of the time we won’t feel like it. @GAShotCoach @APositiveCoach @GaBballAcademy

Kids, you can’t outperform poor nutrition, poor sleep, and even poor relationships. Those naturally talented & athletic may fool themselves thinking they can get away with it in the short-term but it will eventually stifle their level of growth & success. @GAShotCoach
