“You wear a number 10, but you missed the penalty”
Think of a situation of the past when you lost and now realize that you didn’t give your best. That’s right, you already knew it as you were experiencing that moment; maybe you were tired, unmotivated and/or maybe not so much focused or not enough engaged. One side of you had wished for it, the other side didn’t. That’s why you let things go, they overwhelmed you and you lost the game. The defeat didn’t taste so bad at first, but when the other side woke up, bitterness filled your soul. The worst thing is when this situations occur repeatedly, sometimes they turn us into real losers. Now that you know it, stop it! Never mind what has happened so far, what your age or conditions are. It’s time to react, now. Success comes from the mind and is always by our side, if you really believe it. It’s the mindset that makes a difference and we can turn it on thinking of what if feels like to win. The spirit is high and it’s good!
Close your eyes, think of your life’s greatest success, remember every single moment, those feelings, the emotion, how you smiled and cried. Now, join your thumb and middle finger of your right hand and press them tighter and tighter as you remember that heroic moment with great intensity. Do it until you feel the moment, as strong as you can, then open your fingers slowly, open your eyes and smile. Good, now that emotion is hooked to a physical action. You can repeat the exercise as many times you like to feel it completely. This is an important step because when the going gets tough, you will have to decide whether to engage or let things go as usual. Repeat the exercise and let the most wonderful feelings come to your mind. Only then you will realize how important it is to really express yourself, to reach you goal, to enjoy the moment and remember it.
All you need is inside you, Right Here, Right Now. When you live the moment, you give your best, always and everywhere. That’s how numbers 10 make history.
