Living a full life means taking risks!

Elite mindset. You may be an elite or high achiever but don’t necessarily have an elite mindset and possess limiting beliefs.

When was the last time you gave up on something – and why? When was the last time you failed, and what did you tell yourself about the reason for your failure? If you told yourself anything other than “I did my best and learned a lesson – and I will do better next time,” you’re making excuses. You’re letting limiting beliefs get in the way of achieving your goals.

Overcoming limiting beliefs isn’t always easy. They are deeply ingrained in us, often from childhood. But once you discover what they are and how to identify them, you can learn how to overcome your limiting beliefs. By incorporating actionable strategies for changing limiting beliefs into your everyday life, you can finally achieve everything you’ve ever dreamed of.

The first step to overcoming limiting beliefs is to define and identify them. Limiting beliefs are ideas we hold about ourselves and the world that prevent us from becoming the best version of ourselves. They hold us back in a variety of ways, making us feel like we don’t deserve success, that we’re not as good as others and that the world is against us. They usually fall into four areas: about the world around us, other people, ourselves, entitled beliefs. Would it surprise you to learn that limiting beliefs can sometimes feel empowering? Believing that the world owes you something, that you’re better than others or that others just don’t “get” you are often excuses to avoid growth and stay in your comfort zone.

Take control learn the tools and get accountable for changing the way your think you grow your self and your company.

Don’t be a prisoner of your own mind, your words and thoughts can be the very things that limit you.

Where are you going? What vision do you have going forward for you and your company?

It takes the same amount of time to be average as it does to be excellent. You may believe that it will take too long to start realizing a desired vision in your mind, but time will pass regardless.
You're going to do something that will have ramifications in the next 12 months. Serious ramifications as what you do now dictates where you will be then. It is up to you whether you fill it with excellence or excuses, deliberate effort or autopilot routines.
It's not a matter of time. It does not take any more time to incorporate high standards into your life. It takes the same amount of time as low standards. The difference isn't in the amount of time it takes.
What makes a difference is what is produced over time. So, this week, you can either push yourself and your standards higher, or you can accept lower standards and emotional justifications.
They both require the same amount of time. Whatever you do, next Tuesday will arrive on time. It's not a matter of time. It is what you do with your time and how you use it.

2022 post covid enterprises have not only excelled mental health initiatives but exploded risk of employees effecting others in the company. What some might deem the new epidemic of mental health has been around for way longer. The other smarter half are actively pursuing ways to soften the impact that this incumbent disease will soon sink your company bottom line in more ways your can care to count on your budget spreadsheets.

Throughout history, people have continually attempted to assess each other's intelligence. The fascination and potentially obsession with who is smarter than whom has both fueled success and condemned some to heinous failures, leading the way with the belief that they or others were either brilliant – and possessed it – or dumb – and lacked it. Alfred Binet is the developer of the IQ exam—the infamous IQ test that we all know and associate with intelligence testing. Matter of fact, no. Binet, a Frenchman living in Paris in the early twentieth century, devised this exam to identify youngsters who were not receiving adequate education in the city's public schools. As a result, new educational programs might be developed to assist them in regaining their footing. Perhaps this is precisely what needs to change in our present day thinking to how we approach any test, training, and processes. Influence belongs to flexibility and adaptability. At TPZ we don't see people that need to always change, no. We see processes and systems that perhaps may not be optimized to allows for its people to excel. Not to see our children and other participants isolated and segregated into a colossal cauldron of learned helplessness and fixed mindsets labelled the 'I am a can do or cannot personality type.' This acquired perspective will erode your team's drive, creativity, enjoyment, and mental wellness even further. Affecting productivity and retention costs organizations millions perhaps billions of dollars each year in related to staff shortages, medical absentee, lawsuits, operational mistakes, strategic misunderstandings, much like an infectious disease wreaking havoc on other cells

Shape your mindset. Live by design not default!

The reality is you’re either pursuing something exceptional or accepting something average. There’s not much in between but confusion, internal conflict and too many options = a mental chaos. The Key to said chaos is the discernment to choose and the discipline to commit.

Too often we can not find high performance; a pathway to success because we give ourselves too many options. The ability to judge well. Discipline. And the commitment to pursuing what you want with exceptional focus grants those who seek high performance.

No pathway to success is by default.

High performance is a hard choice. Make no mistake in thinking otherwise or be the fool.

Live a life by design not default and shape a that serves your mission!

Beat the mediocrities of playing the game of life and shape your mindset to gain an advantage the world elite use to live better, happier and bigger than anyone else.

Because of you can’t believe it, language it or envision it you can’t have it.

Everything happens twice! First in your mind then in reality. (Don’t believe me look into neurology and how the brain translates information from your eyes to your mind)

Good effort vs ok effort.
Average effort vs Elite effort.

Let me ask you a question: what does it mean to give great effort?

I’m not asking what it looks like to observers from the outside. External effort alone is too easy to virtue signal for the sake of reputation. Some people purposely make themselves busy, but not impactful, just to be seen as putting in significant effort. Activity and effort are not the same thing.

Effort for the sake of appearance is empty. It’s like a balloon: a thin external layer without much value underneath it. It’s sizzle parading around as substance.

I’m asking what it means to give great effort whether or not anyone sees it. What are the differentiators between weak, average, and pretty good effort? How does great effort differ from lesser forms?

I’m not asking you this today because I want you to explain it to me. I want you to explain it to yourself. I want you to think and consider your personal standards for effort. This is an opportunity for self-awareness and, hopefully, self-discovery.

No one will ever know the amount of effort you give. Not really. They only see what they see from the outside. People closer to you will have some unique insights, but still most of your real effort will stay hidden from them too.

You’re the only one who will ever know the depth, the truth of your effort. It lives in your mind, your heart, your memory, and some might say your soul. If that’s not a question worth answering, I don’t know what is.

You become hyper-prepared when you are faced with uncertainty. Trying to sustain this is really harmful to your health. Cortisol levels rise, causing all of your bodily systems to either increase or decrease the cascade of regulators and inhibitors required to respond to this mental state of uncertainty. This state actually accelerates the aging process by consuming energy, which can be measured by measuring the length of your telomeres, which are the compound structures at the ends of your chromosomes. You are biologically younger the longer they are. Bio-hackers want to achieve this. So, yes, one's mental state has a significant impact on a variety of issues; this is only one of many.

Our nature does not predetermine. But it does pre-dispose.

(- Robert Ploughman: genes behavioral expert.)

This means, you may not be succeeding or experiencing mental difficulties like anxiety or depression. Mental toughness, grit. But this doesn’t mean you are destined to suffer. Our biology tells us how you perceive and approach your life is a choice and how events effect you.

Confidence, is a choice. An action. Act confident to be inspire and elicit confident. Find competence to be genuine.

Another nugget for this week is, the success you have in life is more to do with what you do when you don’t know things. How you react to not knowing things can be greater than what you do when you do know.

But, without being aware that you don’t know is the first level of learning.
