7 ) - Thrive on pressure
As a child, we envisioned performing in the adult world as some great new adventure. We weren't worried about pressure then; we only saw wondrous opportunities to prove ourselves. We closed our eyes and saw ourselves doing all kinds of amazing things.
But as you grow older and see your weaknesses, you start to lose confidence. You falsely assume that weakness in one area carries over to all aspects of yourself. The result is that you start to see pressurized situations become opportunities to fail, rather than opportunities to succeed. Worse, you compound the pressures in your life from work and home by piling responsibility on top of responsibility. Eventually, you start seeing this as one big mess, like a mountain you couldn't possibly climb, rather than a series of actions to be taken one step at a time.
That childhood wonder you once had is long gone.
You have begun to doubt yourself and that doubt is one of the ingredients that leads to eventual failure. You have started to think of all the things that you can't do, rather than all the things that you can do.
YOU NEED TO REDISCOVER YOUR CHILDLIKE WONDER AT BEING ABLE TO HANDLE A PRESSURE SITUATION.
You need to look at tomorrow with eager anticipation rather than fear.
In order to do that you must understand the difference between pressure and fear.
