Performing on a Higher Level

On my block everyone praised me for my athletic ability. I was always picked first in a stickball, baseball, and basketball games. There was something that I realized early on in life I will share with you.

I had two very powerful parents who overcame various obstacles to do impossible things. My father only had a second grade education, he was forced to support his family at a very young age, he was one of the wisest men I ever knew who excelled in real estate and lived a good life before he died.

Doctors and specialists told my mother because of Polio she would never walk again. However, she told the doctors and all her teachers in high school she would walk down the aisle to receive her high school diploma. Sure enough she proved the specialist, doctors and even shocked her teachers when she walked down the isle to receive her diploma.

The example of my parent’s struggles enlightened me how to perform on a higher level.

Some people label me as very competitive. I have always wanted to be the best at whatever I pursue or do in life. However, I never compete against anyone-but myself. I was all American as a teenager. I was good at various sports.

I am dedicated to excellence by being the very best person I can be in various areas of my life. You may want to be a better parent, lover, business person, entrepreneur, student, or athlete, or maybe something else I failed to name here.

Today I just want to share with you 4 fantastic ways in which you can perform on a higher level in any area of your life.

Mental Projection 2 Be Victorious
I have noticed that most of the greatest achievers in life all have a mental projection to be victorious in their area of choice. They have a unique power to focus upon the finish line of their course before they start the race.

Dedication Destroys Discouragement
Great athletes stay dedicated to success and will not let anything discourage their vision to be victorious. Dedicate yourself to you dreams, goals and aspirations so you never lose focus of them on your quest.

Never Get Comfortable Where You Are
Being comfortable in life where you are can be dangerous. When I get comfortable at home, I sit in my lazyboy chair and recline. This deepens my comfort level eventually lulling me to sleep.

Too many people are comfortable where they are in life. Eventually many will also fall asleep, when some of them awaken they’ll notice how much more they could have accomplished in life, but then it might be too late for some of them. Do not allow this to happen to you.

Go From Good to Great
Never become satisfied. Always stay hungry to achieve more and become better at your craft. You go from good to great by strengthening your strengths daily. Dedicate an allotted time an hour or so on each skill you possess so your skills can be mastered.

"If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory." ~ Bruce Jenner

You can change your life in this moment... if you so choose... and commit to your choice. -- E.R. Haas, CEO
