Since we are all about being at the top of our game mentally and physically, what follows are a few attributes that Percy Cerutty believes are essential to achieve success. I believe he wrote the following in regards to athletic success, but, it's easy to see how they could be applied to any type of endeavor.
"1.Imagination.
2.Finding the way and means.
3.Self-discipline.
4.Concentration on task.
5.Persistence.
6.Faith in oneself.
7.The quality of 'rather die than give in or be ultimately beaten.'
8.The recognition, until one's goals are achieved, that one cannot serve two masters, that one goal must, and does, take precedence over the other.
9.The recognition, as we overcome so we strengthen to overcome better, and as we weaken in our resolves, so we become weaker and less capable of worthwhile achievement.
10.Total commitment to your goal."
Hard to find fault with the above. #6,like #5, is something that comes up frequently in these types of lists. For a lot of people, faith in oneself is the forgotten key to achieving your goal. Why can't you be the 'guy'? What don't you have that someone else has? Quite often the only thing the other person has that you don't have is confidence. Many of us need to change our way of thinking.
#2.Looking into the right program that will get you where you want to be as opposed to following a generic, one size fits all program is essential. Adapting it(program) to your strengths and weaknesses is vital. This takes a motivated and thoughtful individual.
Big day--25 minutes at 2/3's pace--oh yeah, 5 minute warm-up with a 10 minute warm-down--stretching after.
How was your day?
