Greetings on this Beautiful August 21st.

Thought of the Day: STRONG MINDED

Sticking with the olympic dream and following these phenomenal athletes, the notion of their intestinal fortitude is what carries them. These people developed a long time ago, not only their physical bodies, they became unbelievably " STRONG MINDED". Notice it's not stubborn. Sometimes perhaps but you don't become a champion being stubborn. Strong Minded is knowing when to push the limits and when to pull back.
One of my favorite things happened with Michael Phelps after his 8th gold medal. All he could focus on was the "Desire to eat a cheeseburger". There are many things that motivate people and food is definetly one of them. When setting your goals, I'm a big believer you need to have as many things working for you as possible. I call those things accelerants. It keeps your mind focussed on other things, not the pain of the event. STRONG MINDED. TOT
