Too bad our brain doesn’t let us know when it’s empty like our stomach does. 🤔

In the game, and life, we’ll experience the best of ourself & the worst of ourself. Both require self-awareness & regulation so we keep from becoming too big headed or beat ourselves up. Both can be detrimental to our continued success. Mindfulness Matters.

It’s extremely rare for anything that helps us grow to be comfortable at the beginning. Anytime growth is the desired outcome we will be uncomfortable. So…continued growth means a level of uncomfortableness will always be present. How we manage it will determine our success.

All we can do is everything we can do. The challenge is we don’t want to do everything that is needed or we don’t know what is needed. Both require more effort & attention which, many times, we just aren’t willing to do.

Can we become so focused on what matters that we aren’t distracted by what doesn’t? GA Shooting Academy
