We have a few very self aware clients who are hardening their minds. These studs are going through hard stuff like the sale of a company, divorce, disease, and rapid, almost runaway growth. Their hardened minds are serving them well. They are doing more than they think and it’s fun to build beside them as they respond to hard truth by doubling down on effort. Hard minds are required to sustain and live true to your CORE and toward OPUS.
Do not miss this. Nothing in life is easy, at least not for long. Suck it up. Harden your mind. And, don’t forget this truth – Hard minds, hard bodies, hard CORE and hard OPUS can callous our hearts too. It’s really easy to harden our hearts and look down on those around us who’ve not done the work, can’t keep up, and we really don’t respect.
The aim is to harden the mind and soften the heart.
This requires us to look up and be grateful, humble, and filled with more love than fear. This requires us to slow down and remember how fortunate and how far we’ve come since waking up. This requires us to listen to hard truth from our builders, family, friends, and truth tellers.
Hard mind. Soft heart. Are you building both? Are you preparing your mind and body for the road ahead? Are you giving others the benefit of the doubt? Are you looking down or lifting up? Slow down and reflect. Your mindset matters more than your skill level. What’s your mindset – Can’t hurt me or Can’t? Good.
