8 Words that will change your life inspired by the NBA to Win your day.
Hi! Thanks for reading another Win It Minute. I’m here in beautiful central Florida. It’s a perfect day out here and I got eight words that are going to change your life. It says, “If we can control our interpretation, we can control our world.” It’s what were learning here at the Win It Minute. Life and your mindset is all about your perception of them. If you perceive things in a more positive light, things are going to come back to you in a more positive way. But if you see things in a more negative light, you’ll get carried away in a negative mindset and in a negative emotion.
And you may think, well what is emotion and my mindset, I can’t really control that. Yes you can. And it’s the most powerful force out there that determines if you have a good day or a bad day. People can get sick simply by thinking that they’re going to get sick.
And a great example of that I noticed watching an NBA Game last night. If you watch games you notice something that happens all the time. When one team starts scoring a lot of baskets and the other team starts losing and it becomes a big change… Announcers call it a run, the other team is going on a run because they feel like they can make anything and they’re on fire, the crowd is going wild, their emotion is at an all time high, they’re super excited. And the other team starts freezing up. They start missing shots and they start becoming scared and they’re playing in the wrong mindset. Well what happens inevitably in that situation? The coach comes in and calls a time out. He has to. He has to stop that mindset and that’s the easiest way. He calls a time out, 30 seconds, they come to the bench, he helps his players get out of that negative mindset and don’t get carried away into a negative emotion, but he also is hoping that the other team loses their positive emotion and their positive momentum because he knows that’s so powerful. You see it all the time.
In your life if you get carried away in a negative emotion maybe take a time out and realize, hey, I actually hit the lottery of life just by being alive in 2016. I’m watching this on a wifi connection. That means you have a better quality of life than anyone pretty to walk to face of this earth. What are there, there are like seven billion of us now and you have a better quality of life than most of them, 95% of them just because you’re in America, you’re watching this on a wifi. You’re alive at this time. So when you feel a negative emotion coming out take that time out, don’t get swept away in it, but get swept away in the positive emotions, keep that mindset, keep winning the day and make it an amazing day and win the day the NBA way. #Wintheday #Winitminute
