Today’s Dadly Daily Declaration comes from Chapter 1 (titled Don’t Think) of Tim Grover’s book, Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable. Grover is the CEO of ATTACK Athletics, Inc., founded in 1989. He is world-renowned for his legendary work with elite champions and Hall of Famers, including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and hundreds other NFL, MLB, NBA, and Olympic athletes.
In this chapter, Grover lays out how his formula for achieving the impossible and the relentless drive to achieve the impossible. He talks about coaching Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, describing their relentlessness to be the best.
Here is what I discovered today from this chapter and how it applies to you:
Everything you need to be great is already inside you. All your ambitions and secrets, your darkest dreams…they’re waiting for you to just let go.
What’s stopping you?
Most people give up because everyone has told them what they can’t do, and it’s easier to stay safe in the comfort zone. So they sit on the fence, unable to decide, unable to act.
But if you don’t make a choice, the choice will be made for you.
It’s time to stop listening to what everyone else says about you, telling you what to do, how to act, how you should fee. Let them judge you by your results, and nothing else; it’s none of their business how you get where you’re going. If you’re relentless, there is no halfway, no could or should or maybe. Don’t tell me the glass is half-full or half-empty; you either have something in that glass or you don’t.
Decide. Commit. Act. Succeed. Repeat.
