10 powerful ideas I wish I knew 10 years ago:

Full Benefit

Navy SEALs have a saying.

When something sucks, they say: "Full benefit."

Instant mindset shift.

• Hiking in pouring rain? Full benefit
• Lose draft of a project? Full benefit
• Driving + car breaks down? Full benefit

Adversity makes us better if we let it.

Choices > Feelings

We make too many decisions by how we feel.

• Do I feel like making calls?
• Do I feel like working out?
• Do I feel like studying?

Elite performers prioritize choices over feelings.

They do what they choose to do.

Not what they "feel" like doing.

The Inner Scorecard

There are 2 ways to measure success:

• Outer Scorecard
• Inner Scorecard

The best live by the latter.

They measure success by things like:

• Values
• Principles
• Standards
• Excellence
• Commitment

Develop your Inner Scorecard.

Remember Tomorrow

Amidst struggle, remember how you’ll feel tomorrow.

• When you’re tired
• When you want to quit
• When you’re frustrated
• When you feel defeated
• When you doubt yourself

Remember tomorrow.

You'll feel proud and accomplished if you don't quit.
