Here are three tips that stood out for me, hopefully you can see some tie-ins to your own life and quest to accomplish your goals:
1. Joe Rogan- Be the hero of your own movie. What would the hero version of yourself do? Do that! What would he or she NOT do? Don’t do that! Who would they hang around? You need to start hanging around those people. Maybe that means finding out what the most fit, fastest people in your age group are doing, or just learning from and copying those around you who you admire. This makes life great, and gives you that “anything is possible” feeling.
2. George Carlin- Find your place. The plan that your parents and teachers had for you is not your plan. It can be a lifelong journey to find your own place, to forge your own path, and to do what you really, truly want to be doing in life. For Carlin, it went beyond “entertaining people” and he realized he could combine his desire to get a message across through comedy. What is it for you? Maybe you are 10% there. Maybe you’re halfway there. What can you add that can give you that feeling of having found “your place”?
Triathlon and swimming are life. Thinking big picture is going to help you get to the next level.
Befriend the swim!
