Hello Fitlifers, Drew Canole, it's another Mindset Monday, my favorite day of the week
and I want to go over something that I learned long ago, one of my friends actually, Brooks
Hallen informed me of this metaphor, and it's the 212 metaphor.
I recently met with a new client, Matt Green, over the weekend and he gave me this little
book, and it's actually the 212 the extra degree.
I can talk to you about what that really means.
See at 211 degrees water's hot, but at 212, water boils.
And with the boiling of that water you create steam and the steam is powerful enough to
move an engine, and the metaphor's awesome, I mean think about that in your own life.
It's always that one percent extra that you give that allows you to conquer that goal
whatever it may be to you.
You know, in the indie car races, the difference between first and second is 1.5 seconds, in
monetary terms that's a difference between winning 1.2 million dollars and just over
600 for second place so you win twice as much for that one percent.
So in what areas in your life is there that one percent extra thing that you can apply?
So it's your life, and you have to be responsible to turn the heat up on your own.
So how can we turn the heat up?
I'm going to give you 3 tools and techniques in this mindset Monday that allow you to do
that.
Number one is to really get excited.
Enthusiasm moves people.
Enthusiasm once it's turned up hot enough, it actually explodes in the passion and that
passion is what's going to ignite you to jump out of your bed in the morning and really
pursue the life of your dreams.
Not only that, when people feel enthusiasm, they get turned on.
So it's like watching that boiling pot of water that I showed a little bit earlier.
You see one boil, one little air pocket, one bubble comes up to the top, all of the sudden,
the rest of the bubbles are at the bottom of the pan, look at that, it's saying 'hey
how can we make it to the top as well' and they get inspired to move up, it's like that
in your life.
You see the more enthusiasm you have, the more energy and excitement you're going to
have in your life to really really really push forward, I'm convinced to that.
Alright, number 2, is to focus.
We have to focus more, we have so many distractions in this life.
You know between the text messages that you get on your cell phone, checking your Facebook
every minute, you know all of the distractions, all of the noise that surround us, it takes
our focus away.
So the biggest thing is to get that laser sharp focus.
With laser sharp focus packed with enthusiasm and passion that laser can cut through a cinder
block, it can cut through steel, it can cut through basically anything that there is if
the laser is refined and it's strong enough.
Same thing with your life, you can accomplish any goal, any dream, any task that you have
but you have to focus.
Three is perseverance.
You have to have the ability to push on.
You see if you lose one of the races, there's many races within the race, and that's much
like your life.
So instead of getting defeated, sitting down on the couch, and flipping through the TV,
thinking that your game is over, get up off the couch and realize that this race has many
little races and one setback is just to set up for you to actually win, so get up and
make it happen, turn that water up.
So those are the 3 steps to making your water boiled and turning the heat up to 212 degrees.
Now that you're aware of this great principle you are the only one that has control over
it.
You see this stove right here, I'm the only one that can turn the stove up, or turn it
off in my own life.
So every single day, make a conscious decision to get your water boiling, to take that boiling
water and that steam to move the machine in the direction that you want and that's your
life.
