Competitive Stress Is a Virus
Competitive stress may be likened to a virus. A heavy dose all at once can make a person ill. A small dose carefully regulated permits a person to learn how to channel anxiety so that it aids rather than inhibits performance.
The Overlooked Ingredient
It’s the one thing every one of us is familiar with—the one thing we’re able to accomplish, and even the one thing we have done our whole life.
Yet when it comes to winning, many of us lose so much because of this one key ingredient.
Amazingly, you’re doing it right now.
If you study winners—overachievers, the movers, the shakers, the top percentage in any class—regardless of gender, race, age, or religion—you will find a constant thread so common it’s almost scary.
The ingredient I’m speaking of is managed pain.
When you study the core differences between winning and losing, you will not discover a lack of talent, knowledge, brilliance, hard work, or raw skill.
What you will find is that those who consistently win have learned how to manage the pain they face along the way.
