1. This Week's Jump-Start
In the beat of a heart, a child is born. In the beat of a heart, a celebrity or unknown person faces mortality. In the beat of a heart, an Olympic speed skater wins the gold medal. In the beat of a heart, history is made by something someone did or did not say or do. In the beat of a heart, our children will have grown and flown, with families of their own.
I looked in the mirror this morning and saw Rip Van Waitley, the little boy I used to be, now able to get my senior’s discount at the movie theater. I already suffer from “Dessert Alzheimer’s.” When I go to the buffet, I ask the restaurant staff: Was I just here? Did I already have the carrot cake and chocolate decadence? Or is this my first trip, as I think it is?
Let’s make a pledge together, you and I, to seize this moment and live it to the fullest, rather than yearn for the past or simply dream of a bright future. Let’s keep the playful spirit full of curiosity and energy like a child, and live in the now, in this beat of a heart.
Of all the wisdom I have gained, the most important is the knowledge that time and health are two precious assets that we rarely recognize or appreciate until they have been depleted. As with health, time is the raw material of life. You can use it wisely, waste it or even kill it.
Make your decision to grab this precious moment in joy, faith and thankfulness, and count your many blessings instead of your blemishes.
In the beat of a heart, this moment will be history.
—Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within Article
The Winner's Circle by Dr. Denis Waitley
Every four years we see those five brilliant, interlocking Olympic rings on flags and in television and billboard advertising globally. The Olympic Games are where the best in the world go for the gold and the few stand, listening to their national anthem, in the coveted winner’s circle. If the five Olympic rings were attitudes of champions in every profession, these five attitudes would be prominent in the mindset of the peak performer:
Paying the Price. Everyone wants to win, but few are willing to invest the time and effort. Paying the price means focusing on developing the skills and training regimen of champions—observation, imitation, repetition and the internalization of knowledge into habits; also, learning why and how to go the extra mile and seeing success as a marathon, not a dash. Champions view failures as temporary inconveniences and learning experiences.
The Olympian Within. Winners believe in their worth in advance of their performance. Most people base their worth on their current status or achievement level, which means that until they are judged successful by society’s standards, they have little to be proud of. Champions believe in their dreams when they have only a dream to hang on to, even in the face of criticism and superior achievements by others.
Non-situational Integrity. Authentic, lasting winners have an uncompromising attitude about self-honesty. They function according to an “integrity triangle,” consisting of three basic questions: (a) Are my beliefs based upon truth? (b) Do my words and actions correspond with truth and honesty? (c) Before I speak or act, do I honestly consider the impact of my decision on other people and the environment?
The “Coachability” Factor. Champions are always open to alternatives to improve their performance. Consistent winners are not the arrogant egotists who dominate the media spotlight. The most successful individuals in the game of life are often the most approachable, most gracious, least judgmental of others and most critical of their own performances, as well as most eager to learn and improve.
Being a Team Player. A team in harmony is synergy in motion, where the whole is greater than the sum of the individual talents. When all assignments are understood, when each takes 100 percent responsibility for the outcome, a quantum leap in performance takes place. Winners learn how to become interdependent—without sacrificing individuality—and how to stand out, while fitting in.
3. Seeds of Greatness
Winning Is
Winning is never whining.
Winning is coming in fourth, exhausted but excited, because you came in fifth last time.
Winning is being glad you’re you.
Winning is a feeling, there is no ceiling.
Winning is beginning, and by beginning, the game is half won.
Winning is all in the attitude!
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
This week’s coaching tip covers being both optimistic and realistic. So having said that, Fly with the Eagles!
Don’t run around with the Henny Pennys who are looking up, chanting, “The sky is falling!” Optimism and realism go together. They are the problem-solving twins. Pessimism and cynicism are the two worst companions. Your best friends should be individuals who are the “No problem, it’s just a little, temporary inconvenience” type. As you help other people in need on a daily basis, also develop an inner circle of close associations in which the mutual attraction is not sharing problems or needs. The mutual attraction should be values and goals.
This week, when challenges arise, say to yourself, “No problem!” Find the positive and see how quickly you can turn that challenge into something great!
