Let It Go To Your Head

You probably know a hypochondriac or two. Somebody
who's always sick, or on the verge of it, and you're
pretty sure they brought most of it on themselves by
continually expecting the worse and blowing up any
little ailments into big deals.

I always hope these people get healthy, but I have to
admit I wonder sometimes if they really want to.
They say they do, but if they were in good health they
wouldn't get the attention they do when they're sick.
Neither could they play the victim card all the time.
Anyway, we often say of people like that,

"It's all in their head."

Well, duh. Now we mean that in the negative sense,
but it's not necessarily bad that something is in your
head. It depends what's in your head. Most of (if not
all) the time good shooting, health, winning, prosperity,
and success are "in your head" too.

When Steve Spurrier was hired as the football coach for
the University of Florida in the early 90's his first
priority was to create a winning mentality in his Gator
team. When the game was on the line he wanted them
to fully expect to pull it out and win.

You couldn't say the Gators were losers because they
had had successful seasons, but they weren't exactly
winners either. They had never won the SEC
Championship, for example. No matter how much talent
they amassed they seemed to always find a way to shoot
themselves in the foot just enough to watch the title slip
away, and the fan's eternal rallying cry was,

"Maybe Next Year".

Before Coach Spurrier was lured away from UF to pro
football he had produced 6 official SEC Championships,
missed another his first year because he inherited
probation, and had led the Gators to their first ever
National Championship in football. Not bad, huh?

The highest levels of success in sport, in the money
game, in relationships, in spiritual growth, and in life
itself come not so much from skill, training, and ability
as they do from the mindset of the person. What sets
the champion apart is the way he thinks, his mental
game, his attitude, his self-confidence, and the way he
talks to him or herself and the world.

So along with good shooting mechanics and the muscle
memory that comes from repetition, if you are going to
compete against the best and come out on top you must
also decide to develop the mindset of a great shooter.

The absolute best way I know to do that is through the
Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation's motherlode program ,
"Zero Resistance Living".

Whatever purpose or dream you are called to, this
course will help you get there without struggling and
striving. Instead you'll learn how to use the powerful
mental tools you already have at your disposal. Then
the work you do will be superproductive.

You can do it the hard way, or you can learn to minimize
life's resistances. The choice is up to you. Learn more at:
