SUMMARY OF MOTIVITIONAL
VIDEO
Comparison, one of the biggest plague of our generation. The crazy thing is winners focus on winning, losers
focus on winners. Competion . We fixate on how everyone else is performing. The more time & energy we
focus on everyone else, the less time we have to focus on ourselves. Games, matches & contests are decided
in a matter of seconds. A momants indications can define 1st or 2nd place. And the moment indication is
usually a comparative though. Is someone working harder? Is someone going to take my place? And why do
we focus on other ? We focus on other because we don’t realise that the only major performace matriks is
how we see can only change it by focusing on your own process. We have to start with ourselves we have to
stop making excuses. We have to stop getting unfocussed. We have to stop becoming confused wehave to
stop blaming other people. We have start taking responsibility. We have to stop relying on talent. Remember,
hard work beats talent everytime talent doesn’t work hard. The most talented people are bitten by those with
resilence ang grit. For winners, competition makes them better. For losers, competition makes them bitter.
Better/bitter the choice is ours. When we try to be better then we were yesterday, we grow. When we try to
be better than others, we slowdown, the truth is, everyone wants to win, bet few one to preapared. View one
to rerelove the process. Most of us are just addicted with the result or what we want. When really the magic
is in the process. The magic is in the work. The magic id in the practice. The magic is in the moment. When we
become a winner before we have even won
