GO With GRIT & GRIND

GO With GRIT & GRIND

This morning I woke up, monitoring real-time the NBA game between Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors.  The Miami Heat team was seriously handicapped [very depleted] when no less than Jimmy Butler, their #1 player was out on injury.  And PJ Tucker, their #1 'In-house "ENFORCER"' was also out.  Add in Gabe Vincent, their sharp 3-point specialist injured.  Icing in the cake, their coach, Fil-Am Erik Spoelstra was out on protocols. 

What happens next?  It's for the LAST MAN STANDING. And that means going for GRIT & GRIND as the last option.  Oooops, BTW, GRIT & GRIND is NOT a jargon for the NBA and its hoopsters only.  In life, GRIT & GRIND are must-haves and must-do but the key question, what is it we want to UNLOCK via the sheer GRIT & GRIND?  It is  knowing our LIMITS, finding our LIMITS and reaching our LIMITS no less.  Surely, you have BIG dreams, BIG goals.  The limits of what you think you can accomplish are a comfortable, secure place where growth is hard.  But why is growth hard?

Because discomfort provides motivation to fuel the fires that keep you working toward something bigger.  One more thing, many people have self-imposed limits resulting from their own beliefs rather than you ever had before.

So how do we move from here?  DISMANTLE your limiting beliefs.  What do you tell yourself about what you CAN and CAN'T accomplish?  Now let's examine our limiting beliefs and ensure that ours is an OBJECTIVE BELIEF backed by facts and data and not just a figment of our imagination.  Now, time to be SMART by setting SMART goals, e.g. specific, measurable, actionable, relevant and time-bound.  Now, here's the deal.  WORK ON YOUR GOALS A LITTLE EACH DAY.

As writers say, 'ROME WASN'T BUILT IN ONE DAY',  so unless you are fabulously wealthy with infinite resources. chances are pretty good you're going to need to build your empire bring brick by brick.  And that takes time and regular effort if you want to reach the PEAK One common best practice is to follow the 'NO ZERO DAYS' approach wherein there is NO day that you DON'T work on your big goals, at least a little bit.  It doesn't have to be anything major.  Just doing a SMALL thing that will bring you closer to that BIG thing, that BIG goal till you've realized that you have reached your LIMITS✅✅✅
