We are all bound by the same physical forces on this earth. Most notably, gravity. Have you ever seen an archer shoot an arrow? Gravity causes an arrow to drop the moment it leaves the bowstring. As soon as it's propelled forward, it loses height. This means that nay forward progress of the arrow has forces working against it at all times. But here's the amazing thing about the physical laws that bind our universe and control it with their seemingly oppressive properties - they can be manipulated to work in our favor!

What goals are you going to "aim high" for this week?

2020 was funny, to say the least. By that, I mean that we all went into it with the idea of “20/20 Vision” being inexorably intertwined with our outlook on the year ahead. And while we all experienced nearly 365 days of being dealt the saddest, darkest, and…well…crappiest hand ever, one can’t help but see the irony in it all. We thought 20/20 vision was about seeing our visions, our plans, our purposes more clearly, being able to execute on them like never before. And then we’re hit with a record-shattering worldwide pandemic that puts all those plans to ruin and waste! But for those of us who were able to pivot, acclimate, and adapt, we were soon able to see that this 20/20 vision wasn’t about execution at all, but about reflection.

Today's inspirational word: Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 are two normal days, just like any other two in the calendar year! Take the time to take note of your growth, achievements, setbacks, mistakes, and lessons learned over the past year, but do not let that fool you into thinking that tomorrow is any different from any other morning! Strive every single day to top your personal best from the day before, and be consistently resolute in being consistently resolute. Consistency breeds confidence, and confidence helps you outperform that which makes you most uncomfortable.

Too many of us look at those who are outgoing, charismatic, and successful as confident people. While for many people this is true, it’s not the case for them all! See there are two main types of confidence that we tend to get confused: natural confidence and manufactured confidence. It’s funny because the former is the one we confuse with the latter.

Today's inspirational word: Confidence is not this magical trait that materializes out of thin air. It is the manifestation of your relentless pursuit of greatness, and the DIRECT product of obsessive, repetitious practice and thoroughly understanding one’s technique! In the absence of specificity, fear thrives! But in the relentless pursuit of understanding, confidence grows!

Too often we teach our athletes to focus on their mistakes, their imperfections, and their failures, instead of focusing on the steps they need to follow in order to succeed! That success may not come quickly and it certainly won’t come easily, but it definitely will come if you are relentlessly persistent. Today's inspirational word: a truly winning team is the one in which everyone, athletes, and coaches alike, recognize the value of vulnerability. We need to learn to swim instead of training to sink.

When you don’t see anyone as a threat and simply focus on CRUSHING IT EVERY SINGLE DAY, just giving your best performance and outperforming yourself day after day, you no longer worry about comparing yourself to others! Today's inspirational word: People are only your “competition” if you allow yourself to believe you’re competing with them in the first place. And this applies to anyone from cheer athletes to business professionals. With business, the actions of my “competitors” have no bearing on my success. Because I’m only truly out here competing with myself. Instead of focusing on your “competitors”, focus on outperforming yourself every single day!

Being upside down is the ANTITHESIS of what the brain finds to be safe! We weren’t born being able to walk on our hands innately! It’s a learned behavior, just like confidence! Both take tireless practice, relentless repetition, and understanding! Today's inspirational word: You’re not afraid of actually being upside down, but instead, the feelings that are associated with the discomfort of being upside down. So get upside down more often, thereby getting more comfortable in your discomfort!
