Blinders…

Excellence requires a crazy kinda focus. You cannot achieve mastery while looking to your left, right, and trading glances over your shoulder. Masters focus forward. Many of my clients struggle here. Like a distracted but deeply gifted Kentucky racehorse you need to become blind to what is around you. Virtuous trainers put blinders on this kinda horse.

Blinders.

If you’re gonna reach your God given potential you’ve got to become blind to your noise, your problems, your distractions, and sometimes even your disease. You’ve got to get a steely resolve and block your mind from many of your life’s hard problems. Masters master the mind before they master the craft. Think blinders. Think blinders. Think blinders.

Put on your blinders. Focus. Use your optimism not in a blind way; in a blinders kinda way. Focus. Put your blinders on. Funny as you focus your mind in this kinda way, your problems seem to move from the massive MESS blocking your aim, to something on the side, and finally a distant memory somewhere in the back. Good.

Blinders, anyone…
