Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant. D Wade.

3 killers… but 1 man behind the curtain.

Performance coach & mindset engineer — Tim Grover.

I spent hours studying his stuff…

Here are 7 key lessons for developing killer instinct, dominating the competition & coming out on top.

👇

1 / Be Relentless

Success isn’t as complicated as most people think.

In fact, Tim boils it down to one simple trait: relentlessness.

For some…it’s innate. But for the rest of us, it’s a choice.

But what exactly does it mean to be relentless?
2/ Lose “Good Enough”

Over the years, MJ racked up quite a few championships.

But every off season he had one goal: to get better.

Why?

For winners, “good enough” is not an option.

Being relentless means committing to endless improvement —even when you’re winning.
Put it to practice:

Every time you achieve a goal, schedule a check in.

Ask yourself:
- Where did I fall short?
- What’s my next advantage?
- Where am I phoning it in?

Winners don’t get complacent with small victories…

Identify the next opportunity & pounce on it.
3/ Cooler, Closer, Cleaner

Grover has a simple framework for categorizing competitors:

1. Coolers: Avoid confrontation
2. Closers: Follow you into battle
3. Cleaners: Start the war, then finish it.

Metaphors aside, Cleaner’s win. And they win big.

Which one are you?
4/ Extreme Ownership

When you screw up, you have three options:

1. Explain
2. Blame
3. Own

Kobe had many opportunities to blame his team —especially in the dark days of 05 - 07.

But he knew that only one of those choices leads to growth.
Every time you take responsibility for a mistake, you put you into a “constant growth cycle”.

Screw up > own > learn > improve

No matter the outcome…

Take responsibility and figure out how to do better next time.
5/ Skip Shortcuts

Put simply, Grover is not a fan of shortcuts, and neither are his disciples.

His formula is simple.

Define:
1. Where you are now
2. Where you want to be instead
3. What you’re willing to do to get there

Then make a plan and act on it.

Relentlessly.
6 / Welcome Pressure

How we view pressure determines how we’re impacted by it:

If we fear it, it hurts us.
(negative stress, degrades performance)

If we embrace it, it builds us.
(sharpened focus, creates definition)
Put it to practice:

Try intentionally putting yourself into stressful situations.

Volunteer to give the presentation or to lead the sales call.

Your goal is simple: get in some small “pressure reps” so when the time comes, you’re ready.
7/ Work Harder

After every game, Grover used to ask MJ one question:

“Five, six, or seven?”

What he meant: “What time we hitting the gym in the morning?”

Not if… But when.

Win, loss, soreness, fatigue — didn’t matter.

Back to work.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
