” It’s not the size of the dog in the fight. It’s the size of the fight in the dog…..”
Doug’s Mentor

Question.

How bad do you really want to succeed in life and how much are you motivated to do so??

Think about it.

How bad? A little? A lot? No motivation?

Another question:

Are you willing to fight for it?

Are you willing to go the distance like you never have before, and bring out that fight in you
that has been beaten down for so long? Are you motivated to fight against mediocrity and failure?

Do you realize the only fight you have with being motivated for Success is yourself? That’s it.

Remember this:

ALL Defeat comes from within.

Period.

No exceptions.

The only person who can stop you from becoming successful is YOU.

Motivational Success Secret:

YOU FIGHT YOU all day long with untruths about yourself that came from others, and attracts failure and mediocrity like a magnet on steroids.

The words you say. The thoughts you think. The words others say and you believe. Your Past which you cling to, and the excuses you have embraced.

But yet you want more out of life.

you know what the word FIGHT stands for?

Forcing Inside Garbage (to) Honor Truth.

The truth about you. The truth about what your Creator wants for your life. The truth about
the greatness inside of you and the Fight that is starving and motivated to Pummell mediocrity and failure to
smithereens.

It’s there. You know it is. It’s just dormant.

Increase the size of the fight in you and face the Success truth about yourself. There is a Bigger YOU inside that can create a destiny and future that’s staggering if you let it, and let the Motivated Fighting Spirit in you refuse to give up or be denied.

He did.

He came home, slammed the books down on the table, ran upstairs, slammed the door and broke down and cried. It was his 9th grade year.

His mother came in, and said, “Son, what’s wrong?”

Through a 15 year’s old broken heart, he said-” I got cut…I didn’t make the team. Coach said I was too small”

With incredible wisdom, the mother said..” Son, always remember this — it’s not the size of the person in the game, it’s the size of the game — in the person.”

She left.

It clicked. In a huge way. Like nothing had ever before.

The next morning:

It started.

He got up at 4:30 am and started practicing every morning, every evening, every day.

Every week, every month. Relentless. Nonstop.

His Fight had Ignited. He would not be denied.

Through the snow — rain — sleet — ice — wind –hail. He kept practicing. He gave up movies
and things that he did before. The Success Fight kept getting bigger. And bigger. And Bigger.

And he kept saying to himself, “It’s not the size of the player in the game, but the size of the game in the player.”

Over,and Over,and Over.

And then it came around again.

The Season.

He tried out. With a focus so strong and motivated, that it intimidated even the coach. His Fight was at Peak Force. And he made the team.

The next year he made the team.

And he went on to Explode the fight in him to where noone dared to stop him, and no one could.

He set record, after record, after record, from that point forward.

His name?

Michael Jordan.

What’s the size of your game?

When Nothing Seems to be Going Right

Filed under:Self Improvement — posted on May 1, 2008 @ 7:45 pm

It’s more then just a bad hair day. Truth is, you don’t even
care how your hair looks because everything that can go wrong is
going wrong. It’s not like you created the problems yourself and
are having to fix your own mess. That’s easy enough to deal
with. No, this is about those days when nobody takes you
seriously, every light turns red when you’re on a tight schedule
as it is, and your spouse is in one of their darker moods. You
drop your lunch in your lap and there’s no way you can sneak
back home to freshen up, the tax man just chose you for his next
audit, and your sister calls to say she has a lump in her breast
and is terrified to go in for a check up. Your boss tells you
that you are doing an awesome job and deserve the pay raise
you’ve asked for, but the company can’t afford to give it to
you…. and you love your job too much to quit. You can’t seem
to get through the red tape of a bureaucracy that holds some
sort of power over your ability to succeed at your dreams. The
computer system goes down at work and you can’t finalize a very
lucrative time sensitive deal that you were trying to close. No
matter what you do, everything around you just seems to be going
wrong and you are continually finding doors slammed in your
face, brick walls in your path, and glass ceilings above you.
How do you cope? How do you get out of the crazy maze that has
you feeling trapped, alone, and helpless?

Yes, it’s true that we often subconsciously create our own
problems, but there is also another fact of life and that is…
sometimes bad things happen to good people for no apparent
reason. Unfortunately, sometimes a whole bunch of bad things
happen all at once. The result can be very overwhelming. It’s
natural to want to give up and quit. Quit your job, quit your
marriage, and quit your battle with the bureaucracy that’s
holding you back. It’s also natural to want to punch something
or someone and to simply force your way through the problems.
Start bullying everyone while demanding that ‘heads are gonna
roll!’ to anyone within earshot. Neither extreme really works in
the long run.

The most important thing to do is to take a moment and catch
your breath. So often people will keep on keeping on without
really focusing on the big picture. They can’t see the forest
for the trees and are just thrashing around trying to stomp out
one fire after another without really analyzing the entire
situation from an outside perspective. Take a step back and
simply look at the whole thing as one great big problem with
lots of little pieces. Remind yourself that if these problems
were all spaced out so they happened one at a time, that you
would be able to maneuver through each one without falling apart
emotionally. It’s the sheer number of events that come at you
all at once that is the real problem.

Take a moment to organize your thoughts and to come up with a
loose plan of action. By reminding yourself that you are
technically capable of handling each one of these problems if it
stood alone, you can begin to tap into your self-confidence
which may be buried somewhere under all of the stress you’re
feeling in the moment. Square your shoulders and take a deep
breath to gear up, telling yourself that you are capable of
fixing all of these problems even if you hate having to do so.
Don’t waste your time on self-pity asking the ‘why me’
question… the answer will always be ‘why not you? what makes
you so special that you aren’t allowed to have really bad days?’
so just let go of that whole concept. It’s your turn to have a
bad day, so let’s just pull it together and start moving into a
more comfortable, more positive direction.

Now, prioritize your problems, issues, and roadblocks. Only you
can juggle in your mind which tasks need to be attended to first
and which ones can wait. I might tell you to ignore your lunch
stained outfit without knowing that later today you are going to
make a multimillion-dollar presentation to a very important
client who has flown half way around the world to hear your
speech. I might tell you to drop everything and help your sister
because family is so very very important in the long run, not
knowing that your sister is a hypochondriac who is constantly
crying wolf and really just wants your attention. Look at time
sensitive issues, which issues create the most long-term
effects, which ones can you delegate to someone else, and which
ones will work themselves out given enough time. Don’t spend all
day analyzing what needs done and what really doesn’t need done.
Just make a quick reality check while you’re squaring your
shoulders and mentally run through the list of problems.

Then take out a sheet of paper and write down a loose game plan
as to how you want to go about fixing, changing, and dealing
with all of the various elements that will need to be handled.
Write it down even if you normally don’t use to-do lists because
you have so many things to monitor and keep an eye on. Later
when life is more stable and normal again, you can go back to
keeping everything in your head. The reason you have to stay
loose with your planning is that you will need to remain
flexible and open to whatever domino effects, wild cards, and
surprises might fall into place as the various dynamics unfold.
This is not the time to be rigid, demanding that everything and
everyone go along with your master plan. All that will do is
alienate you from those who could maybe offer some assistance.

Finally, look over your plan, see that solving all of these
problems and surviving this bad day is quite do-able. Realize
that you have all of the skills you need and that it’s simply a
matter of time management, focus, and raw grit. Roll up your
sleeves and get to work. Don’t waste valuable problem solving
energy on worrying and fretting over the things that are not at
the top of the list. Monitor their status if you must, but keep
moving through each item on your list until you start crossing
them off. As more and more items are resolved, you should feel
your self-esteem increase and your spirits will lift. What
started out as a bad day, could very well turn out to be an
incredible day of accomplishments and brainstorming. You could
find yourself bragging by the end of the day about all the
trials and tribulations you managed to weave through. You didn’t
simply survive the day, you conquered it. There is nothing more
powerful then a strong sense of self that comes from solving
real life problems with a bit of moxy and tenacity.

Free Advice From Albert Einstein

Filed under:Self Improvement — posted on April 7, 2008 @ 10:57 pm

What If You Could Ask Anyone For Help?

Have you ever noticed how sometimes you are at your most creative when you are interacting with another person? You and your friend or acquaintance feed off of each other’s ideas and help each other clarify things. Well what about those times when you are alone, or you have no one you wish to share your ideas with? What can you do then to stimulate creative thought and to find elegant solutions to your problems? You could try talking to Albert Einstein.

Okay, you might want to talk to Andrew Carnegie or Lee Iacocca if your problem has to do with making a factory more productive. A question about love might be better addressed to the Dalai Lama. The point is to have a conversation in your head with a historical person or expert who can help with your particular problem. Why would you want to do this?

Your Imagination Needs Form To Function

Whether you realize it or not, you have a powerful imagination. What you may not have, however, is a powerful way to use it. That is what you get with a conversation in your head; a way to access the creative power of your mind. You will be surprized how often your imaginary Einstein comes up with an interesting idea, or asks you a question that produces something useful.

Try it in this way: Use the image of someone who you respect and know something about. This is so you can easily imagine what they might say. It can be a fictional character - in fact, this may be even better. Explain the situation to this person, and listen to what they have to say.

Remember those WWJD pins and stickers? WWJD stands for “What Would Jesus Do?” Young christians wore these pins (still do, I believe) as a source of guidance. Whether you are a christian or not, you can understand how in a time of confusion, this simple question can immediately clarify the situation and allow a right decision.

Think about this for a moment. All the information necessary to make a right decision might be there in a young man’s head already, and yet there is confusion. Imagining what Jesus would do or say is all it takes to “see” the answer.

So start talking with your imaginary friends (in your head please). Ask for help with personal, business, moral and any other problems. This is a powerful way of drawing on the power of your unconscious mind, and it will work for you if you give it a chance.
