Dad’s Advice To A World Champion

by Mike Litman

Today is going to be a GREAT day for you!
——————————————————-

Self doubt.

Self doubt.

A thief.

One of the greatest thieves of our hopes, our attitudes,
and our desires.

For many years the claws of self doubt held me in its
grips. Tightly.

My belief in myself was low and it affected many parts of
my life.

No good. Not at all.

We know lack of self confidence, lack of belief in oneself
halts all major achievement in one’s life. It can stop our
progress in a split second.

We must put an end to this. Am I right or really right?

Great.

Onward.

If we look back, hundreds of years, and even more in
success literature, we see a common and central principle
being taught.

It’s as clear as a clean window.

It’s the answer to self doubt. It’s the answer to expanding
ourselves. Greatly.

Belief. Faith. Expectation.

Belief. Faith. Expectation.

You and I can’t rise higher than our beliefs. Understand
this?

Good.

Let me share with you an excerpt from a recent article I
read about Tiger Woods because it shows the power of this
point.

“Way back in 1997, after he won the Masters by 12 strokes,
I asked Tiger if it was possible to win golf’s Grand Slam.
At the time, Hogan’s triple in 1953 — when he played in
only three of the four majors — was the best any man had
done, a feat matched by Woods in 2000. Most any player
would deflect the question. Not Tiger.

“It’s possible to win four tournaments in a season,” Woods
told me. “You just have to win the right four.” And then he
let loose that devastating smile. Here is what Woods knows.
This is what drives him. This is what Pops Earl made sure
Tiger understood: What you achieve is limited by what you
believe you can achieve. Woods believes in the
unbelievable.”

Enough is enough. It’s time to really take your life to the
next level.

Are you in?

Seriously, is now your time to stretch yourself and really
expand yourself?

Are you in?

You’re reading this right now. You’re more powerful then
you know. You are.

Your best days are ahead of you and can’t wait to see you
too.

Start believing and excepting more good things to enter
your life. Watch your self doubt start to diminish and your
self respect and belief start to rise.

I appreciate you more than you know. I believe in you. You
were born to enjoy life and do something great. You were. I
was. We all were.

One more idea. Smile 1% more each day and watch your self
doubt decrease by over 20%. Try it.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

Thanks Mike for the rerminder. We follow Tiger’s matches pretty religiously and always marvel at his self control. Just part of what Earl taught him.9

Our whole being is is a composition of patterns that make up our beliefs, values and habits. Change or modify a pattern leads to a change in belief – value – habit.

Patterns start at our basic level of unconsciousness like breathing and walking we do them without thinking about them.

Self doubt is a set of patterns that we have developed over our lives. Find out what the patterns are and congruently modify the patterns. This then changes your belief in yourself. The important part of creating change is that you overcome all your internal objection to any modification to a pattern.

Humans just love placing limitations on themselves we all make life harder then we should by our limitations.

Laughter is the best medicine

Onwards and upwards

Thanks Mike!
That’s right! Self-doubt is our enemy #1. If you believe you can, you can. But is you believe you can’t, then you can’t . You are right in both cases. Our words, our beliefs enter in our subconscious, and our subconscious creates our reality. Incredible things have happened in my life, (and I know it is not over), because of the way I believe. If you change the way you look at things, then the things you look at change. It all comes from within us!

Smile
To smile is to feel an energy of relaxation – sometimes a wicked smile can be good or bad – but nevertheless tension is being released. To smile is to be a healthy, it releases endorphins and seratonin…sera who? Who cares – as long as it makes me feel good – When I smile I attract the positive energies of life and bring out the best in people – but most of all I deliver the best within me! A smile can carry one away to endless boundaries that transcend into a dominoe effect – So i say SMILE – for your health, for your love , and for your Life to take a different turn!

To Mr. Litman, keep sending those great encouraging words…and To the walking Man from Oz…..excellent words to live by.

Mike
Your piece this morning really hit the spot. I feel the need to move on after 10 years in the job and location that iam in. Self doubt is a real killer of moving on. Today is the day that I will leave ” self doubt ” behind and move forward..
Thanks for the self help.
