- What stands in the way becomes the way.
- Focus on the things you can control, let go of everything else and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, and tougher.
- It’s three interdependent, interconnected, and fluidly contingent disciplines: Perception, Action, and the Will.
Remember, “There is no good or bad without us, there is only perception. There is the event itself and the story we tell ourselves about what it means”.
Favorite Quotes: “Where the head goes, the body follows. Perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective.”
“Focus on the moment, not the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.”
“Nick Saban’s process is about finishing. “Finishing games. Finishing workouts. Finishing film sessions. Finishing drives. Finishing reps. Finishing plays. Finishing blocks. Finishing the smallest task you have right in front of you and finishing it well.”
“We don’t get to choose what happens to us, but we can always choose how we feel about it.”
