[David Godfrey @dxgodfrey]

Just basic discipline will put you in the 1% of the 1% today.

Most problems are solved by nothing more than the ability to get bored, frustrated & even disheartened and still refuse to quit or break protocol.

[David Godfrey @dxgodfrey]

5 WAYS TO SAY NO:

👉 I’m flattered but I’m afraid I don’t have the bandwidth

👉 I’d like to, but I’m overcommitted

👉 I am consumed with… but I would love to get together after…

👉 Let me check my calendar and get back to you

👉 Yes, what should I deprioritise?

The key to positivity is acceptance.
Total acceptance of this moment.

That doesn’t mean tolerating a bad situation.

It means letting go of wishing you didn’t have to face it.

2 things about GRATITUDE to remember...

1. You don’t “have” gratitude, you “do” gratitude.

2. Your brain is hardwired for survival, not happiness. Which means it will find what’s wrong more easily than what you feel grateful for... unless you TRAIN it.

A high performance brain requires a high performance body.

If you are unfit, unhealthy, overweight, sedentary, or under slept your brain WILL be affected.

"You just don't know what it's like for me!"

Said no successful person ever.

Please don't misunderstand. Hardship sucks. You have my compassion.

But you're either a victim...

Or you’re 100% responsible for your life.

4. They looked for a coach, not a saviour

You can rewire your old neural networks and literally become a new, different, upgraded version of yourself.

But nobody can do that for you.

Experts will save you decades of struggle.

But YOU have to lead your own life.

[David Godfrey @dxgodfrey]

How you feel will be controlled by...

Circumstances
OR
Your Character

The more you build your character the less your circumstances matter, but interestingly, the more influence you’ll have over them.

Old Belief: "Discipline is restrictive"

New Belief: "Discipline is mentally liberating!"

If you negotiate with yourself and what you’ve committed to, you take something that can be inconvenient at times and make it excruciating.

@thejustinwelsh This is awesome Justin! Some great reminders. Thanks 👍
I’d also add to #2 if you don’t respect your OWN time nobody else will.

Building a high performance brain requires:

1. Taking care of the hardware - optimising health.

2. Upgrading the software - discarding old programs & installing new ones.

You'll never be who you're capable of without both.
