Think Rank

There is no wiggle room when it comes to the laws of the universe. We didn't make them. We can't change them. We sure struggle when we don't follow them, even when we thought what we knew to do was the right thing. . No matter what we've learned, we can re-learn. Accept change. Welcome it. You don't lose unless you give up on yourself. That's rank. Think Rank.

Do you ever look in the mirror to see who's limiting you today?  Maybe it's time to align your abilities with your possibilities, to acknowledge your fears and adventure on. The opposite of fear is peace. It's not as far away as you may think. Peace is rank. Think Rank. 

The only thing that lies between you and greatness is you. You don't get better in a comfort zone. Who do you wanna be? Who do you wanna beat? Why are you practicing? What are you practicing? What are you giving up for greatness? Question yourself. Demand more of yourself. Love the journey. That's rank. Think Rank.

Thought and thinking. Noun and verb. Success and setback. They're all related. They're not opposites. Knowing the subtle differences can help you make huge, lasting changes in your everyday outcomes. It can make your long range results better than you ever expected. Really. That's rank. Think Rank. 

Greatness takes time. Greatness stands the test of time. Greatness is a process. Getting better on the way to greatness is possible for each of us if we choose the process.

Believe that you have the ability to choose. You can. That's rank. Think Rank. 

Bad days. We've all got 'em. Or do we? Bad is a description. It's a choice. When things aren't going in our favor, maybe it's time to say "Now we got us a game!" And then get excited about the inluence we can have on the rest of our day via our mindset. That's what true professionals do to stay successful. That's what we can all learn to do to get better. That's rank. Think Rank. 

What's holding you back? If it's the past, get past the past.

Let it go. Throw it out.

You don't put a flat tire on a new car and expect to get anywhere faster. Start to manage your thoughts and your wheels will start rolling a whole lot smoother.

Let the dead bury the dead. You've still got some living to do. That's rank. Think Rank.

You're only a loser as long as you choose to be. Stop blaming your "bad luck." You see in any situation what you expect to see. Give yourself the weapons and armor to win the battle within yourself - the one you may not even realize you're at war with. With awareness and effort, you can win. That's rank. Think Rank. 

You want more? Start changing the way you react and/or respond to life. Be aware. Evaluate. Take responsibility for every moment. Start with your choices to react or respond. We all have a past, but we can all have a better future if we start to choose better responses. That's rank. Think rank. 

You choose your thoughts. They determine the frequency you operate on each moment of each day. You feel your feelings. Your feelings reveal your thoughts. You have the power to recognize and change either of them. It's your call. Always.  That's rank. Think Rank.

Your rewards flow from where your mind goes - good or bad. True story. It's the old genie in a bottle -"your wish is my command" - concept. It's the law of attraction. It's biblical. It's how you get to the more in life. Your thoughts rule your results. You create your own outcomes. You are exactly where you thought you'd be. That's rank. Think Rank. 

By definition, getting means change. It brings something in that wasn't there before. If you want to get to greatness, start with gratitude for where you are, how you got there and know you have the ability to improve.  Start by writing down what/who you're grateful for. Then adjust the way you process your thoughts for more productive outcomes.  It's not always easy, but it is that simple. That's rank. Think Rank. 

There's a reason you think and react the way you do. It's your programming over time. You can change that. Starting today. You can be in control of the blueprint for your thought process from here forward. You can control the pencil and the eraser on all of it. That's rank. Think Rank. Start now.

Two things change everything - your attitude and your awareness. The more aware you are of one the greater outcomes you have with the other - once you decide to act on them. You are your own "AAA" of getting help with your situations. You have a lifetime membership in powerfully affecting your results. All day. Every day. That's rank. Think Rank. 

Jealous of what others have? How about being jealous of the work they did to get there, get that? That will change your perspective. So will discipline. Discipline yourself to win, starting with what you have. Then, you'll start to understand the difference between prizes and winning. That's rank. Think Rank. 

I'm not for everybody. Neither are you. There will always be those who don't have your back, who are not on your side - who may even mean well and care about you, but still bring you down or hold you back. Winners don't do that. Winners do winning things. You CAN win. Now. That's rank. Think Rank. 

First in a series of "the lost episodes" of the Think Rank podcast. This episode gives you a "how to" to dominate the times when the "yeah, but..."  and/or the "poor me..." creeps in. And it does - for all of us. Learning to manage those moments is rank. Think Rank. You can.  

Not a competitive person? Really? We were all born to win. We should compete with ourselves daily to improve in most things, but especially those things we are passionate about. You may need to regroup at Plan A, but if you're truly passionate about it, all other backup plans are just a cop out. If you really want to win, decide. Narrow your focus and win. That can be rank. Think Rank. You can.
