We all know someone who was the "top dog" or "star athlete" in high school…
...and still talks about those "big" achievements 10… 20... years later.
I bet you have someone in mind right now that does this.
This is because most people suffer from a faulty way of thinking…
Which keeps them from winning consistently.
They think that just because they won a state title or they were elected high-school class president…
They are entitled to win again and again in life.
The problem with that is...
Beating your chest about your past successes...
Whether they happened last year, last month or even yesterday…
Will keep you from going full throttle on today's actions...
Today’s actions are what determine tomorrow’s wins.
So if you spend time thinking about how great you used to be it will ultimately and literally keep you from winning again.
Listen…
The only person who cares about what you did yesterday ... is YOU.
Literally nobody else.
The real world only rewards you for your work today…
Not what you say you will do tomorrow…
Or what you did three years ago.
Or that one time you won way back when.
In baseball they have a saying:
“You are only as good as your last at-bat.”
When it comes to performance in life…
YOU are only as good as how you did today.
Never forget that.
Everyone can stumble across a win here and there…
But if you want to keep winning long-term…
...and actually accomplish something meaningful in life...
You need to go out and win every single day for a long fucking time…
…and you can’t do that when you’re thinking about how great you used to be back in the day.
