The Monday m.e.l.t.: Who are they to tell you?

Has you or anyone else (even media & standardized testing) defined you as something?

Fat?

Blessed by genetics?

Cursed by genetics?

Athletic?

Non athletic?

Lazy?

Smart?

Stupid?

I know I was defined early on in school from standardized tests to be assigned in lower level classes to which I use to struggle with….but I knew deep down inside I had the ability to not only be in high levels but excel at high levels so I worked my butt off to get there. Turns out those standardized tests weren’t too accurate for real life. But had I bought into the limited learning opportunity, I would never be where I am today.

I find very common among clients who come to us….

Like the girl who has been overweight her entire life…told she was fat…. People around her, society & media defined her as fat, so she believed it.

Or the guy who could never seem to build any muscle on his own, so he was skinner then most and the world defined him as scrawny, so he bought into it.

Or the parent who convinces his son that he’s the next Tom Brady and the son doesn’t end up starting for varsity football…so he feels like he failed his dad’s expectations.

Scary stuff! Defining who you are based on past performance/experience or what you think will happen will only place limitations on what you can accomplish. As you should always learn from the past and as its fun to reminisce about good times – there is absolutely nothing you can do about what has happened so it’s useless to spend energy thinking about it.

What you think will happened doesn’t matter either…The future is fake because it hasn’t happen yet.

The present – NOW is all that matters. What direction do YOU want to go in? Define yourself based off of what YOU want to do now – not based off of the past or in accordance to what you expect to happen.

YOU Need to Set New Standards

Pick three words that define what you want to define your life as; how you look, live and act – anything! The only rules are it has to be personal to YOU and based on what you want to be right now. From there, define why you want to live by those words. This will be your new standard, mantra and definition.

And maybe you are reading this and feel like you already define yourself…and don’t let others bring you down. If this is the case, still push forward to another challenge…to higher standards.

I am the greatest. I said that even before I was – Muhammad Ali

Act now as YOU want to be.
