Our minds are everything.

Thoughts and feelings turn into actions. Actions make up our life. That's why most great people famously protect their minds like soldiers.

“Most good gardeners guard their gardens like proud soldiers and make certain that no contamination ever enters. Yet look at the toxic waste that people put into the fertile garden of their minds every single day: The worries and anxieties, the fretting about the past, the brooding over the future, and those self-created fears that wreak havoc within your inner world.”

We can’t afford the luxury of negative thoughts.

Sports is the easiest analogy. We can all show up to practice when the coach tells us to. But there are people who workout before practice, go to practice, and do drills after practice.

Or an entrepreneur example. When the customers are flowing it’s easy to put the work in. But success will be driven by the work done during the down periods.

This isn’t to say we need to give pro level education to everything we do.

I’ve played in a men’s basketball league and I was just fine being an amateur! You won’t see me giving the sport serious dedication.

We’ve all got things we’re serious about and things we take lightly.
