Think What You Want, But

I used to think life was complicated, but the longer
I live the more I realize it's really not. We can make
it complex, but we don't have to.

Take thinking, for example. My coach, mentor, and
President of the Pycho-Cybernetics Foundation Matt
Furey told me recently there are only two ways to think.

One way enpowers you. The other weakens you. One
opens the door to limitless possibility. The other shuts
the door in your face.

Sports psychologist and trainer Dr. Alan Goldburg
believes free throw shooting is as much a 90% mental.
Even if his estimates are off by a little, practicing how
to think right is probably even more important than
practicing the physical mechanics of shooting.

Not that you can separate one from the other. In the
best shooters both have become integrated and
habitual, but most of us need to learn to develop the
mental side more because it has been so neglected.

Michael Jordan has said: 'I never looked at the
consequences of missing a big shot. Why? Because
when you think about the consequences, you always
think of a negative result.'

One way of thinking enpowered him so that's what
he used. The other weakened him so he gave it no
place in his mind. Remember, you are in control of
your mind, not vice versa, and it's not a democracy.

You have every right to think along lines that will
bring out the best in yourself. It's not easy to do
because many of us are not used to disciplining our
thoughts, but it is simple, and it gets easier the more
you practice it and see the kind of results that get
you excited.

I'm super excited myself right now because I've
been talking to Stan Kellner of the nationally
acclaimed, "YES, I CAN!" basketball cybernetics
training program. Stan is coming out with a new
DVD in a couple of weeks applying everything he
knows about the mental side of shooting, and that
is a ton. He also plans to package it with his best-
selling book, and an audio CD you can carry with
you at all times to reinforce his powerful training.

He's talking about seeing kids at his camps turning
into shooting machines, and that gets me pumped
up. He said several ballers at his last camps were
routinely cranking out a hundred shots in a row
without missing. I know that's hard for mere
mortals to believe, but Stan has figured how to
bring out the superman and superwoman in his
shooters. You won'twant to miss this.

You'll have to forgive me though for getting too
excited and letting the cat out of the bag too soon
because you can't buy it yet, but I can assure you
when it's available you'll be the first to know.

Shoot for The Stars,

P.S. The above mentioned Matt Furey has learned
how to use his mind to live a life where he's fulfilling
the dreams God has put in his heart. Let him tell
you his story about how Dr. Maltz ideas have raised
him up to a place of 'Zero Resistance Living'. And like
the Remington Razor guy, Matt liked the product so
much he bought the company too. See what I'm
talking about at:

P.S.S. Matt is also one of the great fitness minds of
this or any other century. Drawing upon his athletic
experiences and priceless secrets of both Eastern and
Western thought Matt teaches health and fitness that
really works. No BS, no PC, no fluff, no drugs - just
practical results the way nature intended that will
make your life better and more productive. If you
