Reset

It’s not always a good idea to “go for it”. Sometimes you just need to Reset.

There is a concept of resetting the point when it comes to playing a sport (specially racquet sports) against an opponent. If you get into a position where you cannot hit a winner nor can you hit a dominating shot, you need to reset the point.

Resetting just means that you are giving the other person a bit of an easy ball but not something they can kill either and dominate you. It’s meant to reset the point so you can get back into position with the ability to dominate offensively. So ideally, when you reset the ball, nobody gets the point on the next shot. The competition continues on the shots after that as you wait for the right timing to “go for it “.

This is the same thing in life as well. Sometimes you just need to reset yourself and the situation. Instead of going on the offense all the time, sometimes you just need to reset your mind, body and soul.

Resetting this way clears up any bad energy present and makes space for good energy to come naturally. Then when you feel that good energy present in your mind, body and soul, that’s the time to go on the offense and “go for it!”

The Power of Acknowledgment

Want to make a difference to someone? Simply acknowledge them with a look and a smile. That’s all it takes.

It’s not about having lots of money or lots of time in order to make a difference. All of us humans want to be seen and heard. So simply acknowledge others, make them feel important and just listen if you have a few minutes. These few small things can make a world of difference to your fellow humans.

Resilience to Failure, Ridicule and “No”

The path to success goes through getting good at being resilient to failure, ridicule and hearing the word “no” and being OK with that.

That’s what sets apart extraordinary folks compared to the ordinary 99% of the population.
