Don’t focus on counting the score
Many successful people never mention the current game score – whatever it may be – because they are concerned mainly with the process. If you focus on what you are actually doing, the desired result will take care of itself. Set up a goal, but then put it aside and focus on what will actually get you there. Work on the process, building the daily habits you need to achieve your goal.
Our expectations are less important than what we actually do
We do not rise to the level of our expectations. It is much more the case that we only reach the level of our practice. If you want to perform better, you need more practice. What are the implications of this? You should break down the skills you want to learn. These smaller sub-sets of skills are what you need to practise and learn. Focus on the little things, get better at them and you will improve in the overall skill, according to an article on the addicted2success.com website.
Being instead of doing
If you want to change your life, you will not achieve your aim only by starting to do something. Start with your mindset instead; start by becoming what you need to become in order to be able to do what you want to do. For a lasting change, a fundamental shift in our personality is necessary. The reason for this is that our actions stem from our perception of our own identity. In other words, in order to change our actions, we need to change our beliefs; otherwise, we will end up once again sabotaging our own efforts.
So, for example, instead of “I'll stop smoking”, say “I’m a non-smoker” because this represents a positive shift in your entire identity.
