Declaration Flashcards
Sports is “somebody just choose me, and I’ll get to be on your team.” This is wrong. What should I do instead?
Take control over my life. Chose myself and declare what I am going to be the best at.
Go towards it instead of waiting.
What happens when I declare that I am going to be the best?
Now my future is coming at me as fast as I am going at it.
I start to dress, speak, act, train like the best in the world. I already know what the best does and how he acts.
And then I become the best in the world
What happens to those around me after I make and follow in on my declaration?
People come with my and their lives propel too.
After a while, what happens when I have this single minded determination and devotion?
The world starts conspiring with me. Crazy, unexplainable stuff happens that helps take me to the next level, again and again.
But first I must follow my declaration with a focused passion.
What happens when I am beginning to achieve my declaration - How do I bounce back from an emotional high?
Set new goals, new declarations. Keep my aim right on being the best.
Once I make this declaration, 99% of the time I will be off course; only 1% of the time on course. Life happens. How should I respond?
Be like a plane. Once through take off, plane is on automatic pilot, which guides the jet to its destination. It’s off course most the time, but keeps correcting itself and eventually lands exactly where it is supposed to be.
Do not beat myself up for every time I fail. My job is to right the ship, adjusting to get back on course. This may be day to day or min to min. Check in and observe if the Action I’m taking right not in alignment with my plan to be the best.
Why does my mind love it when I declare to be the best?
It is specific. It knows when my actions are in alignment with the best or not, so I can easily course correct.
And it knows it is the best and loves to grow from the challenge.
At first, working to be the best can be pretty tough as I’m changing my fundamental way of being. But after a while…
After a while, being the best becomes my natural state of being. The plane is on automatic, righting then ship over and over again, all the way to being the best.
Once I’ve declared to be the best, and I’ve started wearing, eating, speaking like the best through every choice, every day, there’s only one way it can’t happen. How?
If I actually, consciously quit.
If I’ve made a real declaration, then this thing is going to happen, come hell or high water. Do not be like most people who unconsciously declare to be mediocre. Do not settle for the scraps. That sort of person is not me. I am going to be the best.
How should I respond when someone says “that’s selfish” or “that’s arrogant” to my declaration?
“Well, if you follow my declaration and follow me, you’re going to be the best, too.”
This declaration has the strongest effect on the people closest to me.
How is the safety position similar to my libero (sweeper) role?
It’s about stopping them scoring. To control the game by not letting them score. Nobody is back here. Nobody. The safety is the last line of defence. If they don’t get past me, they lose. That simple. The safety decides who wins and who loses. It’s about desire.
Making a declaration like this means I must back it up by creating an intimate and profound relationship with my future self. What is this?
Seeing myself as I would be, 20 years ahead. Seeing myself as the best footballer in the world, even though I am just a kid! But that vision dictates everything about me and my actions and thoughts.
How should I respond to people who say “you always want to be the best, and that’s really hard.”?
“Try being mediocre. That’s really hard. That’s against our nature. ”
Living my best = eliminating things or adding things?
Mostly eliminating. My path is clear as I say no to the things which don’t align. I am course correcting.
Why must I name the obstacles that I am going to overcome?
It makes those obstacles not so monstrous.
Undefined obstacles carry a lot of weight and ‘what if’ space in my mind. They stop me from fully committing.
