This guy literally dropped the best mindset shift you’ll ever hear

[blue @bluewmist]

If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realize that everything always works out. You survived what once felt impossible, not by accident, but by design. There’s a divine rhythm behind the chaos, a wisdom guiding the unfolding. So breathe. Trust where you are.

I’m a realtor. The market is brutal right now. I had a young couple, first-time buyers. Pregnant, sweet, barely scraped together a down payment. They fell in love with a small bungalow. It was perfect. But then came the bidding war. Cash offers. $20k over asking. They didn't stand a chance. We sat in my car, and the wife was crying. "We're never going to find a home for the baby." I went to present their offer to the seller anyway. The seller was an elderly man named Arthur. He was moving to assisted living. He looked at the spreadsheet of offers. He saw the high numbers. Then he picked up the "Love Letter" my clients wrote—something most sellers ignore. Included was a picture of their sonogram. Arthur stared at it. "My wife and I bought this house in 1964," he said. "We raised three boys here. I carved their heights into the doorframe in the kitchen." He pushed the high cash offers aside. "I don't want an investor renting this out," he said. "I want that doorframe to be used." He sold it to my clients. For $10,000 under asking price. When I told them, they collapsed. Arthur left them a note on the counter when they moved in: "The house needs noise. Fill it with love."

Michael Phelps on how to accomplish big things:

"When I said I wanted to win eight gold medals, basically half the people in the swimming world thought I was absolutely crazy and nobody could ever do something like that. But for me, I was somebody who believed in it and somebody who believed in the process of getting there."

Michael knew it wouldn't happen overnight.

As he puts it:

"Every little small thing that we did was a small stepping stone in order to even be able to have that chance and that opportunity to do what I did in 2008. From 2002 to 2008 was basically trial and error."

On managing pressure during the Olympics:

"Winning a gold medal is absolutely incredible, but I knew that I had seven other events after the first day. So I have to throw that in the back of my head, throw that race out. I broke a world record, won my first gold medal, cool, things are starting really well. I have to put that behind me to get ready for the next race."

He continues:

"On top of that I have to make sure I'm eating the right amount, I'm sleeping the right amount, my body is as fresh as I can possibly be. That means sitting in an ice tank, getting massages, getting stretched. All of these small things end up adding up to the major end result."

His daily approach:

"We would call it putting money into the bank. At the end of the year when we had a major international competition, we could withdraw that money that we had saved throughout the year."

On motivation:

"I'll be the first one to tell you there were a lot of days where I did not want to get out of bed. But if you have those little small goals, those little small things that get you excited when you don't want to, it's going to make it even better and even easier at the end."

The difference between good and great:

"If you look at the greats in any walk of life, the greats do things when they don't always want to. And that's the separation for me."

Small daily deposits create Olympic results.

Tiger Woods on what it takes to be a savage.

"It's do all the nitty gritty details that are ugly, hard, and mundane...Quite frankly, a lot of times you don't see the results for maybe years to come, but it's the little details that it takes each and everyday to be successful."

Excellence filters people out through boredom, discomfort, and delayed rewards. It lives in the details that most people don't have the discipline or patience to honor every day.

In a podcast interview with Macaulay Culkin, he opened up about his relationship with his wife, Brenda Song.

“She picked me up off a pile... she saw the best of me and it made me wanna be better. I know I disappoint her sometimes, you know, but… I’ve never had that before. Being believed in that way.
