“You are essentially who you create yourself to be, and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.” Stephen Richards
LeBron James, the basketball superstar, is doing it. So are many successful business people, artists, and students of all ages. I’m talking about consistently investing their time, attention, and money in their overall health. Whether you are a star NBA player or wealthy business person, or just an average human being trying to make the most of life, you have to work on yourself constantly. You need to invest your resources on yourself! This includes your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This is what separates the average and just “good” performers from the GREATS.
“Beginning today, set an intention and a relentless focus on living your life as the greatest person you can be, in all situations.” Brendon Burchard
Champions, Legends in the making, and Successful people in the world of Business and Art all know that they have so much potential which needs to be nurtured. They also know that skill and even performance declines over time if we sit idle. It’s hard enough to become a Gold Medal Athlete or Award Winning Author in the first place. To maintain a series of WINS and successes in life takes more than just hard work and talent. It involves discipline and training. Constant learning and refining of your skills with the best coaches, technology, and mindset that you can develop. It means spending some of your hard-earned money on becoming better, stronger, and more resilient to the stress of aging while you perform at your peak capacity over time. It’s difficult and it can even get expensive for someone like LeBron James but it’s worth it in the end as you can see from his stellar performance on the court! He spent about $1 Million USD on his health last year and similarly in years past. That’s not a lot of money for him given his overall income from the game and sponsorships but it is still a lot of money. He’s very smart for putting his money into his overall well-being like so many other successful people have done. Surely, the rest of us can spend some time investing in better nutrition, online courses, a career coach or personal mentorship program, or some time volunteering for an organization we believe in. We can probably do all of these in the same year with just a small amount of time and money invested wisely. It may not help win a sports contest or be a rockstar but it will help you stand out in your own circle of friends and peers. Those people who are consistently investing time and money into their own well-being get noticed. They tend to be healthier, happier, and more respected because of this key desire for constant improvement with your own resources. Just think about it for a moment. If you are not willing to spend time, effort, and some money on yourself on a regular basis, why should anyone else do the same for you?
“What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn’t think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.” Arnold Schwarzenegger
What are you doing with the resources you have gathered with all your WINS in life? If you don’t have enough of the desired money, fame, or time you want, perhaps you aren’t spending enough time investing in yourself. If you have sufficient quantities of these resources in the bank, congratulations! Now, what are you doing to maintain your success in life with these resources so that you can become an even more Awesome human being?
