[010] OWN THE FAILURES.
THE POWER YOU SEEK IS IN YOUR ABILITY TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR FAILURES.
To the person:
Life has a funny way of throwing us into unfavorable situations. It could be a tough day at work, a strained relationship, or just feeling stuck in a rut. In moments like these, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless, like we're at the mercy of external forces. But what if I told you that you possess the ability to turn things around? Next time you find yourself in such a situation, I urge you to make a conscious decision to be the change that you want to see. It's a simple yet powerful shift in perspective. Instead of focusing on what's wrong or what you can't control, focus on what you can do to improve the situation.
Take ownership of your thoughts and actions.
ASK YOURSELF: What small steps can I take to make things better? Maybe it's having an open and honest conversation with someone, setting boundaries, or simply practicing self-care. Whatever it may be, remember that you have the power to initiate change. Ownership is freedom.
To the player:
Throughout your journey within the game, I’m sure you have endured obstacles such as not playing the amount of minutes you would like, struggling to make a change in your skill level, or losing games. The easy thing to do when you face these types of situations is to point the finger and blame other people for why things are not working out the way you wanted them to. The power and dominion you want to have over your life reside in accepting the failure along with the success and taking responsibility for both.
THINK ABOUT IT:
Athlete A: Played 20 minutes in the game - shot 3-10 from 3 and blamed not getting the ball on time on target for why he shot 30%.
Athlete B: Played the same amount of minutes and shot the same percentage but determined that it was their fault and they needed to work on shooting while receiving bad passes.
Which athlete do you think will have a better game the next game considering all other variables stay the same? Probably the athlete who took ownership. Just something to think about.
