John Wooden on Mindset

"Don’t let what you can’t do, interfere with what you can do."

- John Wooden

Why Focus is the Most Important Skill to Learn

Focusing on what you can do instead of what you can't do is essential for success in any area of life. When you focus on your strengths and abilities, you are maximizing your potential and believing in the future. When you focus on your limitations, you are promoting negativity and discouraging yourself.

One of the main reasons why it's important to focus on what we can do is that it helps us to build confidence. Competence builds confidence. When you focus on your strengths, it helps you stay motivated and builds belief. This confidence, in turn, helps us to overcome challenges and persevere in the face of adversity.

To start focusing on the positives in life, start to look at your self-talk and re-frame your mindset. You can ask yourself these 5 questions

• What am I grateful for today?

• What is a skill that I am good at?

• What is one thing that I believe in myself to handle?

• What is something that I improved on today?

• What is a small step that I can take today to grow and improve?

The inspiring story of Jeremy Poincenot

This is the inspiring story of Jeremy Poincenot who at 19 years old began losing his vision. He didn’t let going blind stop him from playing the game that he loved, and a few years later he went on to win the World Blind Golf Championship.

His story is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and our ability to overcome obstacles. His unwavering determination in the face of adversity is truly inspiring and serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing challenges in their own lives. We all face setbacks and challenges in life, but it's how we respond to them that ultimately defines us. He focused on what he could do, and through hard work and perseverance, he achieved what many thought was impossible!
