Resolve This for the New Year-
Some of the greatest Peak Performance advice I ever heard was from the great Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz.
On the topic of Resilience he said:
“Life is not always as good as it seems, and its not always as bad as it seems, but somewhere between there reality falls.”
Resolve to Bounce back from mistakes and losses. Never Stay Down!
We cannot allow an opponent or circumstance to defeat us twice in a row.
Sometimes in life we will lose, but we should not allow that loss to affect our minds to the point that they hurt us again in the future. Think of an athlete or loses to a team that they “shouldn’t.” Now, I do not like even thinking in terms of “shoulds’ and expectations, but that’s a topic for another time. But after the team or athlete loses, they sometimes get down on themselves and wallow in self pity, leading to another loss to yet another inferior team. In essence, they let the first opponent beat them twice. We cannot allow this to happen.
We will be successful because we never had problems or obstacles, but because we solve them. And because there is no price we are not willing to pay to make sure we succeed.
“Remember the good Lord put eyes in the front of your head instead of the back so you can see where you are going, not where you’ve been.”
Imagine driving your car for any distance while starring through the rear view mirror. There is a reason why the windshield is 10x bigger than the rear-view mirror. Yes it is good to look back at the past from time to time. But we should spend the majority of our time focusing on the present and future.
Whatever life throws at you, you must bounce back.
In Rocky Balboa Stallone says, “it’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take.”
It’s your choice to stay down or to get up and fight another round. Put your gloves back on and get back in the ring!
Resolve to Never Stay Down!
