Believe in “Regardless of Result”

You will never rise to the level of your goals. You will always fall to the level of your systems in preparation. Now, when you can internalize that, then that means if you don’t do well, you need to improve your system of preparation.

At the beginning of the 100-yard dash, everybody has the same goal – to win. But the guy that wins has the best system in preparation out of everybody there who’s running, and one begets the other.

When you start on this journey of, “I’m going to do this regardless of result,” and it’s being able to say, and believe “regardless of result,” that allows for you to not go negative with whatever happens. It’s a beginning to the positive road.

“I’m going to do this to see what happens.” Because you don’t care what happens, you’re going to learn from it. It’s all about learning from your failures.

We’ve begun to understand what affirmations do to the brain. They have to be believable and they have to be positive. But you have to affirm what you’re going to do and include the phrase, “regardless of result, I’m doing this.” I’m going to see if my training has gotten me ready to shoot this tournament. That’s what I want to do.

The only way I’ll know is to not get involved with results and start evaluating and wishing and hoping and getting mad and throwing shells. Otherwise, I won’t know.
