When in doubt, err on the side of taking action.
Sometimes you are forced to make a difficult decision. You have information supporting you, “going for it.” And you have conflicting information supporting, “not doing anything.”
a. What do you think is stopping you?
b. It is scared of getting hurt?
c. Unsure what is the right choice?
d. Don’t want to make a mistake?
At this moment, 9 out of 10 times I would recommend going for it. You have a greater chance of success and you will feel more alive.
Lets say things go wrong and you pick the wrong decision. In 10 years from now, in which way would you prefer to be wrong, if you had to pick- (1) I shouldn’t have gone so hard or (2) I should have gone harder?
a. Which one did you pick and why?
b. Comment below and share with the audience and myself.
c. I will provide some feedback to all comments.
Most great competitors err on the side of gutsy. Take action. Action always beats inaction. We become tentative because we can easily recall past disappointments of ourselves and others due to carelessness. We got yelled at, scolded, and maybe made fun of, which really hurt us. So we sometimes learn to play it safe. Stay comfortable. Don’t take chances. We cannot focus on those couple bad memories. This is where it is important to take the criticism and make it a positive impact compared to letting it shut you down.The less you let things shut you down, the more powerful you become.
We forget the times we failed because we did not go hard enough. It is easy to justify to ourselves, “well, I wasn’t really trying so it’s ok I failed.”
a. Why did you not go hard enough in the first place?
b. Why do you think it was okay to fail?
That shouldn’t be an excuse on why you failed in the first place.You should go hard every single time trying to accomplish something.
This is a major error in our thinking. Be smart. Be INTELLIGENTLY AGGRESSIVE. But for heaven’s sake, BE AGGRESSIVE. Get in there. GO after it. Hustle plays, Get after every time. Saving the ball from going out of bounce.
It is better the other person beats you or rejects you than you beat or reject yourself?
a. Don’t hold back because you have a convenient excuse to fail- your lack of effort.
b. Reverse this thinking. Be proud of the times you put it on the line. Even if you failed.
c. More often than not, action beats inaction.
d. Get down on yourself when you hold back when you could’ve taken action.
e. Even if you succeed. Show your guts and put it on the line.
Go back to this question: In 10 years from now, in which way would you prefer to be wrong, if you had to pick-
(1) I shouldn’t have gone so hard or (2) I should have gone harder?
a. 2) I should have gone harder
b. Less regrets, you know you tried and you want to try harder next time
