LAST WORDS

“Get your head in the game!”

Did you ever have a coach pull you aside and say that? In a survival situation, if you don’t have your head in the game, it can be more critical than the final numbers on a scoreboard. Mindset can play a big part in whether or not you’re able to overcome bad circumstances.

But how do we acquire that tough, “never-quit” mindset?

There’s the old saying that what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. If that were true, with all the crazy things we did as kids, we all should have superhuman strength by now. Today, we protect our kids in safe, little cocoons so they never have to experience much of anything in the way of hardship, adversity or loss. That’s unfortunate.
