Our purpose is IMPROVEMENT. Every day. 1%.
Right now, at this moment, it’s the third month of the year. By this time, most people have given up on the new year resolutions they set two months ago.
Those who succeed though, do something miraculous. They transform intention into action. One step turns another and then another and another after that. They incrementally work towards their goal. And in time, even goals that seem unimaginable get CRUSHED.
That’s what I want for US.
And the three key questions I’m about to share with you will help you maintain your focus and keep you moving forward.
What are my goals in Jiu-jitsu this month?
This is the first question you must ask yourself. It will give you something to focus during the month. That is going to help you. It’s going to be easier to achieve best results possible from EVERY training sessions. It doesn’t matter if you succeed or fail to achieve the goal.
What matters is that you want it and GO AFTER IT.
If you asked yourself this question every month (and took it seriously), it would be amazing what you could achieve.
What project will I give myself this month?
At first glance, this question may seem like the first, but it’s different.
Projects are learning focuses. For example, one month you may choose Butterfly Guard. That means that you’re going to absorb knowledge about the position and those who are good at it. The purpose is simply to learn as much as possible about your focus.
The first question is more open-ended.
Are there any other students that I can build a relationship with?
Man, this is important. Most of my best training has come from building relationships with other students. Finding those teammates who come early and stay after. The ones who ask questions that inspire creative thought. They are special.
And if they have a BURNING DESIRE to achieve what you want to achieve and the FAITH to believe that it can done. It’s going to inspire you to push harder and further than you ever imagined.
Many minds focused on the same goal have an incredible power. And the benefits extend beyond Jiu-jitsu.
Ask Yourself These Questions Every Month
If it wasn’t clear before, these questions should be asked often. The answers will change all the time. That’s expected. The process, though, is going to lead to greater focus and that will give you greater results.
