Martina Navratilova was once asked, “How do you maintain your focus, physique and sharp game even at the
age of 43?”
You may not know who Martina is, but she’s considered a GOAT (greatest of all time) candidate in the tennis world.
Her response?
“The ball doesn’t know how old I am”
What she meant is that the game of tennis is played, not on the court but on a six-inch playing area. The space
between your ears.
Find a way
You need to find a way to stop yourself from stopping yourself.
We don’t live in the spaces we occupy; we live in the space within us. This space is limitless. Its playing area
only defined by your own limitations.
When that space is clear, free, and uncluttered, life is great.
When that space we live in is cluttered with anger, fear, regret, expectation, secrets and worries it makes a mess
of your ambition, your hopes, and life is less great.
The key to performing well in the arena of life (and business) is the ability to control the quality and quantity of
that space by managing your internal dialogue.
Performance is made up of your potential minus internal interference.
Take advantage of your playing field
You’re gifted with the greatest playing field you can imagine. Let your imagination take you where you want to
go, not hinder your path to greatness with rubbish blowing all over the playing surface, tripping you up and
slowing you down
