Champions have fun and keep their perspective by detaching themselves from outcomes or results. If you are not attached to happiness, you usually can achieve it. Detaching from possessions is a freeing sensation.
“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”
Our greatest successes are usually the byproducts of our most joyful processes. We seem to be much more effective when we open ourselves to the extraordinary power of detachment. Champions have taught me that, although it’s fun to achieve, the greatest joy is to find meaning in the experience of achieving.
LESSONS AS AFFIRMATIONS
- With my mission statement, I plan my path to greatness.
- Before I enter an arena of performance, I become clear about the message I want to send, and do what it takes to make sure it is received.
- I am not afraid to go beyond my comfort zone to raise the bar.
- Adversity and suffering help me to experience self-growth and joy.
- I am aware of potential regrets and do all I can to prevent their occurrence.
- I may or may not win, but I compete and act like a champion.
- The greatest victories are those you achieve in the process of competing well.
- I love to win yet refuse to measure my worth by an outcome or result.
- Winning and losing are short-lived. The experience of playing lasts a lifetime.
