This week, we are striving for excellence.  Today, we are concentrating on Excellence as it relates to our mental health or our thinking.

“People who have accomplished work worth while have had a very high sense of the way to do things.  They have not been content with mediocrity.  They have not confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others do them, but always a little better.  They always pushed things that came to their hands a little higher up, a little farther on.  It is this little higher up, this little farther on, that counts in the quality of life’s work.  It is the constant effort to be first-class in everything one attempts that conquers the heights of excellence.”  Orison Swett Marden

 

excellence thinkingWhen it comes to our thinking, most of us have never even thought about it.  (I know, it’s sounds funny, right?)  But the fact is, most people never, ever take the time to think about their thinking.  Let alone, think about striving for EXCELLENCE in thinking.  To reach Peak Performance in your thinking, you must constantly take an honest assessment of how you think and then strive to raise your level of thinking or awareness.  It’s like sitting on a plane at the gate, all you are aware of is the tarmac out the window.  As you taxi to the runway, you catch glimpses of the airport and other planes.  At take off you are aware of the ground traffic and layout of the airport and maybe where you parked your car.  At 10,000 feet you are aware of city planner’s thought process 100 years ago (or lack thereof).  At 35,000 feet you are aware of the curvature of the earth and how big the continent really is.

To raise your awareness get my business partner, Steve Siebold’s book “177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class”.

Boo yah!
