Play to Win
You 100% create the experience you have in all situations. You can’t control others, however, you can determine how YOU show up. Bitching, moaning and complaining about “leadership” will get you nowhere. Becoming the leader you wish you had, changes everything.
It’s time to use the wisdom you already have. What if you used the advice you would give your younger self as the springboard for the advice you need now to get to the next best version of yourself? It’s trippy and oh-so-effective.
What is brilliant about not knowing? EVERYTHING. A Play To Win mindset is all about becoming the person you need to become in order to actually know. Don’t know what we are talking about, time for a listen.
Have you stopped being future-focused? Do you let your past define who you are, determine what you are capable of, and allow you to accept the status quo? We talk about our niece’s basketball game which got us to ask the question, when do people lose their milestone mentality? Time to hop to the future to help you determine who you need to be to get there.
Mastering a Play to Win mindset requires you to think about your thoughts. It is time to be an observer of what you think and why you are thinking it. Start to get meta with yourself, jump into observer mode and understand who you are by looking at why you think the way you think.
When you start to blame external circumstances for how you feel, you are giving away 100% of your power. Your power comes from understanding that the way you feel is because of the way you think about the external circumstance. Plus, hear how Karen’s Joe Friday “Just the Facts” reference was never true.
The Play to Win mindset is the process of learning to design your life from the future instead of the past. What results do you want? Decide. Then 100% commit to the actions that are required for you to achieve those results. Don’t waver when the going gets tough. Double down and do it anyway. Your future self will thank you.
We live in a brain filled with recycled thoughts. It is time to let go of the thinking we were taught to think and start to decide what we want our thoughts to be. We get all our beliefs, perspectives, and worldviews from internal, external, and organizational influences. What thoughts have you stuck? What thoughts do you want to stop borrowing from others? You get to decide.
Every single thing that has been created by humans has been created with a thought in someone’s brain first. If you don’t think on purpose, you won’t create anything purposeful. A thought is a sentence. You create a sentence, and then you create the results of that sentence. Imagine what is possible even with a half-managed mind.
