Why not apply the strategy to bringing home the gold in athletics to bringing home the gold in relationships? A top athlete knows it?s about his performance first, and determining how to best mesh his strengths and weaknesses with his teammates? strengths and weaknesses. She?s going to perform the very best she can in every circumstance, no excuses. Winning isn?t guaranteed. All circumstances are opportunities to be mindful in the present, assess performance, augment what works, and discern what can be strengthened in the future with new skill acquisition, training, nutrition, and rest.
Going for the gold requires skill, commitment, diligent practice, moving through injury and pain, analyzing and improving capabilities, the willingness to give up habits that aren?t supporting success, a coach who is committed to assisting you to reach your potential, and surrounding yourself with people who empower you to be your best.
Knowing who you are and what you desire in relationships, respecting and loving yourself, and staying committed to going for the gold is the only way to bring home the gold. Settling for less ensures less.
It?s your responsibility to assess if you have the skills that allow you to create the relationships you desire. Most individuals have gaping holes in their skill sets. Chances are you don?t have them all either. So, what do you do?
If you are going for the gold, get in training. Read, listen, find success models and ask, hire a relationship/life coach. Do what a top athlete does ? use the pain to learn and gain. Going for the gold means:
- Celebrating your successes
- Allowing yourself time to heal from losses and injuries
- Discerning what about your performance allowed the loss/injury
- Being coached on how to improve your performance
- Incorporating new approaches and skills
- Getting on the field with commitment and evolving understanding
- Commitment to excellence through practice, performance, and continuing awareness
Going for the gold means no quitting?and no excuses. It ensures you will be playing your? best. What would your relationships look like if you approached them using this strategy?
?Life isn?t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.?
- George Bernard Shaw
