You're more likely to unlock a big leap in performance by trying differently than by trying harder. You might be able to work 10% harder, but a different approach might work 10x better. Remain focused on the core problem, but explore a new line of attack. Persistence is not just about effort, but also strategy. Don't merely try harder, try differently.
Scottie Scheffler getting cuffed before the PGA championship from a misunderstanding is one step away from shooting Derek Jeter in the tunnel before the World Series in The Other Guys
@jj_redick 🤣 great analogy of the importance of D. White! Lmao Alfred. The unsung hero.
“Why do we fall Bruce? So that we learn to get back up again” 👏🏽
Let’s learn to view “failures” as learning opportunities and life lessons.
It’s not a trial and error, but a trial and correction approach.
This non-judgmental, growth-oriented approach allows the space to see and learn from things that did not work in the past.
When a child misbehaves, the thought is to correct the behavior with discipline, without an understanding that the misbehavior is simply defensive posturing.
Behind the facade of what we perceive as disobeying orders is a child signaling that their needs are not being met.
Objectivity is such an important skill to have.
Having the ability to take a step back and remove oneself from a situation gives one the ability to have a more well-rounded perspective and make sounder decisions.
It’s easier to discredit or ignore new information that contradicts our beliefs than it is to accept them.
On the contrary, we easily embrace and seek out information that agrees with us.
Beliefs can be dangerously stubborn.
How to be more empathetic toward self:
By making observations instead of evaluations.
“I failed to exercise this week” is an evaluation. Using failure as a language makes it subjective.
“I didn’t go to the gym this week” is an objective observation.
Understanding that outcomes shouldn't define our choices and how embracing the unknown can refine our decision-making skills. Dive into my latest article on making decisions in everyday life. #DecisionMaking#EmbraceUncertainty#LifeLessons

Justifying a decision by its outcome is a common mistake.
Just because things didn’t work out doesn’t mean we made the wrong decision.
Similarly, things turning out well doesn’t mean we made the right decision.
There are three types of people in the world:
1. Those who make things happen
2. Those who watch things happen
3. Those who ask, "Wait, what happened?”
Doesn’t it all just seem like we’re creating a rule book for a game that hasn’t been invented yet?
Life that is. It’s a game that we learn as we go but sometimes have to change the rules to suit the outcome we desire
Modifying our inner dialogue by bringing compassion to how it is we talk to ourselves, can help develop a much healthier mindset

Setting boundaries can help boost confidence and independence. There’s no need for excuses and long explanations. Learn to say “no.” Those who care about you will be more than understanding.
