Whether or not you were glued to the TV watching football
bowl games, you have surely heard about the athletic prowess
demonstrated by Vince Young, Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush.
Whether relaxing at the spa or at the sports bar, TV brought
you three stunning examples of success. Success =
determination + focus + excellent physical conditioning +
clarity. These three men have them all.As life coaches we work with intelligent, well traveled
clients who keep tabs on current events. What caught our
attention about the recent bowl games was the coaching that
took place. All the athletes in these games all skilled;
they wouldn't be in that position if they weren't. Whether
or not you're a football fan, their example and those of
their teammates, was inspiring. Let's look at the four
elements of success and see what we find:Determination:
What are you willing to do to succeed? Are you willing to
turn off the TV (except for bowl games, of course!), to let
the answering machine take the calls, and rearrange parts of
your day to make what you want a priority? This can be
easier than you think if you are clear.Clarity:
Our favorite way to get clear about what you want is to
identify what you don't want. Make a list of all those
things you are not fond of, really let yourself wallow in
the negative for a bit. Review the list, and ask yourself
what you would like, changing all those negatives into
positives.Focus:
How far can you get with it / without it? Know how it feels
when you have an eyelash in your eye, a splinter in your
pinky, or a rock in your shoe? These things get your
attention – you focus on them. You are constitutionally
capable of focusing. The trick is to focus on what you want
with the same intensity. The other good news is you are in
charge of choosing where you'll put your focus.Physical condition:
Are you willing to get off the couch? Are you willing to
park in the far corner and walk across the lot to the mall?
It is not necessary to have a gym membership to improve your
fitness (although it's an option). You can walk around the
block, lift weights with canned goods, or volunteer to walk
the dogs at the local SPCA. Being in good physical
condition boots your fitness as well as your morale.When you stop trying to be someone else, really let your
individual light shine, you can do whatever you want.
Coaches support you to be the best you you can be. That's
the essence of the coaching we saw during the bowl games.
You may not choose to use your spare time on an athletic
field; however, you can use their inspiration to find what
you love and pursue it. Combine this type of support with
the above four success ingredients and you're good to go.###Lifestyle Catalysts Kristine Carey & Leslie Gebhart are
