This Warrior Mind Podcast is based on note I received from a reader and listener.  Without revealing who it was here is the note: “I know in the military knowing how to deal under pressure to get stuff done is essential. Attention to detail is critical. A true warrior must know how to execute flawlessly. Most times the act of repetition creates muscle memory and helps a person no longer rely on thought but straight execution. But what if the game is continuously changing? How does one prepare and focus on new arriving circumstances when there is no time to train. I have noticed that my work suffers with attention to detail. Maybe it is because I speed through things but I want to find information on how to improve my ability to focus on mistakes I make and be able to catch them before others do. I was wondering if there are any books on this subject that you might know of? I can’t seem to find any. I want to seriously limit the mistakes I make. Or it might be an interesting podcast topic. Just some thoughts.” Here are the key points I picked up in this: Attention to detail Execute flawlessly. But what if the game is continuously changing?

The condition or quality of being brave; courage. 2. Splendor or magnificence; show. 3. Having or displaying courage, resolution, or daring; not cowardly or timid What role you believe bravery plays in your life? Do you have a sense for what you think about bravery, and what you believe it will take to reach your personal goals and personal success? Here’s what James Robinson says about bravery. “Greatness, in the last analysis, is largely bravery – courage in escaping from old ideas and old standards and respectable ways of doing things.” Enjoy the podcast below: Move slowly with this one if you’re not being helped by a coach.  Keep in mind that most people have never been challenged about their level of bravery. For generations, men have been trained to associate their self-worth with their level of bravery.  It’s easy to arouse an illogical, emotional and defense response from your ego if you move too fast. If you’d like to get really inspired on the subject of bravery, watch “127 Hours”….this exemplifies bravery!  Or “Fair Game”, this demonstrates bravery in a completely different context. Embracing bravery consciously, for perhaps the first time, is like handling a sharp sword; move confidently yet carefully allowing yourself to grow through the process.  Keeping your ego at bay is the secret to clear and rational mental strength thinking that will result in bravery and personal success.

When you take an honest assessment of your capabilities compared to those that have or are doing what you want, how do you compare?  Don’t look at this as where you are weak or lacking, use this as a way to model personal success.  It’s important to use a role model that is already achieving the personal success you desire.  This will help you realistically look at your capabilities and then stretch and grow in the areas that could use some enhancement The formula competency is: Competency = skill + knowledge + attitude If your attitude is “weak” your competency will be weak! Enjoy the podcast below: The goal here is move you into objective reality in relation to how competent you are in your profession, especially compared to individuals with peak performance.  Remember that many people overrate themselves in term of capabilities and competencies. Individuals who believe they are already great tend to coast, and disregard the attempt for greater levels of competency.  Results are the final measure.  Emotion skews many people self-evaluation, but results are impossible to argue with.

Enjoy the podcast below: Keep in mind that for whatever reason “we’ve’ been programmed to search for complex answers to complex problems.  You first task at solving any challenge is to keep in mind Occam’s razor: “Simpler explanations are, other things being equal, generally better than more complex ones.” And as Albert Einstein said: ‘“Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Remember, that higher level and mental strength thinking almost always moves towards simplifying, or chunking down the problem so that a simple solution can be discovered. Unfortunately the average person believes the opposite; they look for complex solutions to the simplest of challenges.  Personal success comes from looking for the simple, everyday and common sense solutions.

Both skills must be exercised daily to unlock your potential.  To help your build the belief that focusing your mental energy toward creating new solutions is far smarter than wasting time worrying about a situation. Enjoy the podcast below: Remember that most people look at problem from a fearful and scarcity mindset.  Many average individuals waste precious mental strength energy worrying about the problem. While a measure of this is practical, most of this mental strength energy should be direct toward creative thoughts to manifest a new solution to reach a personal goal.  Fear and scarcity restricts thinking. Thoughts of “there is a way”, love and abundance expand thinking. Creativity and imagination make the finite infinite.  There can never be a finite amount of money and personal success because personal success and money are manifested from ideas, which are the product of creative thought. Love is the soil and creativity is the flow that grows it.  Love and creativity are the two greatest examples of mental strength thinking.  Neither have a beginning or an end.  They have always been and will always be.

Let me ask you….at the ideal, what would your work/recovery cycle look and feel like?  Do you believe a work live balance would lead toward peak personal performance?  Just as in physical training, the work/recovery is essential for sustained growth.  Too much or too little of either leads to stagnation and burnout. Enjoy the podcast below: The Native American Medicine Wheel gives great guidance to living a full and complete life.  Balance must first take place with the individual in their ‘four directions’; spiritual, physical, mental and emotional in order to reach peak performance. This balancing of personal inner life for the balance of external personal life and personal success is the focus of The Warriors Quest.  Give yourself permission to take time and consider that beliefs must be chipped away at a little are a time until the change takes place. And you can start building your mental strength for balance today!

This Warrior Mind Podcast is to help you develop the mental strength belief that being a comeback artist is one of the greatest secrets to personal success and that the ability to recover from apparent failures may be more important then the initial effort. Take a few moments and think about your greatest comeback and the impact it had your thinking.  Now, what do you believe is the greatest comeback story of all time and how you think this individual pulled it off? Enjoy the podcast below: To truthfully evaluate yourself as a comeback artist you will have to make sure you are coming from objective reality.  Many people claim to be a comeback artist, yet when they look deeper they really have never made a comeback in anything in their life. I would suggest taking some time and research some comeback examples from mental strength individuals in your line of business; this will help you with developing the mindset to see the big picture of personal performance. If you can’t think of one, how about Lance Armstrong! Seventy percent of the populations will quite at the onset of physical or psychological pain and never even consider a comeback.  I share this static with you to ask you if you think you’re above average.

Dictionary.com states ‘conflict’ as “a state of opposition between ideas, interests, etc; disagreement or controversy” and “a mental struggle arising from opposing demands or impulses.” Let me ask you…how often does conflict present itself in your daily activities?  As a warrior mind student disciplined in mental strength you can see how, by the second definition above, that conflict provides an opportunity to exercising your mental strength, right? Enjoy the podcast below: To be mentally strong is to embracing conflict a bit more every day… even though many of us have been taught to void it all costs.  Remember that the average personal loves to be comfortable, and conflict terrifies them, as such, they will never reach peak performance. I really like the definition of conflict as a mental struggle.  This fits SO well into the concept and practice of mental strength. In order to get stronger (at anything) there must be a “struggle” of some kind.  It’s up to you to label the struggle or conflict as empowering or disempowering. Conflict doesn’t always mean yelling and screaming.  Conflict is a gap between two perceived different views.  It’s the job of the mental strength practitioner to recognize this gap and develop the techniques to bridge the gap…this can be thought of a negotiations or resolution. You can’t get good at resolving conflict unless you face conflict.  This is one of the cornerstones to personal growth, a mindset to face fears head on. Start building your mental strength today!
