Roeboater Thoughts

  Have we been trying to achieve something new for some time now and haven't accomplished our goal or gotten closer to the finish line? If that is the case, lets do a check in on ourselves to make sure we are not practicing insanity and don't even know it.  Many times we set out to achieve new goals, feats or achievements, but we attempt to do so as we currently are. Large goals require dedication and change of some sort as well. That is an ingredient that we tend to be adverse to; CHANGE.  Change can be interchanged with growth though if that makes us feel better about it. Growth/Change is a required ingredient on the recipe for success. If you feel like you've been hitting a road block or two on the journey towards a goal or goals you have, I encourage you to step back and see if there is an area, characteristic or skill that is needing to be developed in order for you to get over the hump and achieve it.  If it's in your head & your heart it's there for a rea

  Your MIND is POWERFUL. Each of us will face setbacks, both large & small. How we respond, learn & grow forward from them is what will define those moments. We have a CHOICE each time something doesn't go our way to lean in grow or lean out & blame.  Control our controllable parts & let go of the others. Reset our attitudes to elevated & make sure our effort level is top-tier; those are the two things we do control. Bouncing back from failure is the measurement for those that are pursuing excellence. Do not allow doubt or negativity set up camp in your hear or your heart.  Stay dedicated to your goals, no matter what adversity comes up. The hardest journeys lead to the sweetest & most celebrated victories. This is the difference between interested in what you are pursing & committed to what you are pursing.   

How many days do we feel at 100%? Definitely not 100% of the time. How many times are the circumstances around us perfect conditions? Rarely.  I say this to remind each of us if we are counting on perfect conditions externally & internally to win, then we will win rarely. You/we do not need prefect conditions to win. We don't need to be at 100% to win. We are better than that. We overcome obstacles internally & externally in the pursuit of victory. Others may need those circumstances to win, but not you, not us. We have the skills, training, team, mindset & more to win, at a high level regardless of circumstances.  Mix in creativity & determination (GRIT) & I know that each of us will taste the goals we have before us. Don't let whispers of doubt in.  Get it:)  today...tomorrow...going forward & be an encourager of the same to those around you. That is where incredible impact is made.
