If you constantly question your steps and what you’re doing in life, you’ll always be at the starting line.

You are created for more.

You know me and sports. Well, the Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Championship was yesterday. Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic played for the sought-after trophy. Even The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were present.

When I think about that, this is a coveted honor that any professional tennis player wants to win.

How do you think Kyrgios and Djokovic woke up?

I’m not sure. But one thing I do know is that they didn’t say they were going to lose the match.

Why would you go down the road where you knew the outcome would not benefit you whatsoever?

You wouldn’t.

So why do you do it now? Why do you get up and talk yourself out of everything that you knew less than 12 hours ago that you wanted to do?

If you keep running all over yourself, you will never get to the finish line let alone even start. You’ll just keep pressing ahead putting out the fires of the day.

So instead of staying too close to what you know, do what you were born to do. Stay in your lane and play your own game!

The K.I.S.S. ~  Stay in your lane!

The power struggle comes from comparison. You must learn to play your own game. Kyrgios had to play his own game. Djokovic had to do the same and play his game. Who cares how much noise others are crying out around you.

Stay in your lane and play your game!

1. Stay grounded in your journey. Most of what you want in life begins in your mind. Djokovic had a dream since he saw Sampras win at Wimbledon when he was 4 years old. He went and ask his parents to buy him a tennis racket. That was the beginning of his dream coming true. But he had to continue the work and stay grounded in where he was headed. He didn’t get side-tracked over the newest and greatest ideas. He stuck to what he loved and continues on that journey today.
2. Wear your blinders. You are not asked to live someone else’s life. Concentrate on what you are seeing. Don’t fret about what everyone else is doing. Blinders provide focus and keep your direction on task. Take AIM and go after what you want on your journey. It also makes the decision of what to do next very simple.
3. Capitalize on the present. What you do NOW matters most. Yes, you can prepare for the future. But remember, your today was your future yesterday. So don’t look backward and forward too often. Capitalize on the present.

Do what you are born to do and create your now!

Allow yourself to explore and enjoy your journey without causing unnecessary chaos or great pause.
