I love this time of year. You have have 68 teams playing for an opportunity to win it all.
You get to witness the best college basketball players and coaches in the country.
You also get to take witness of amazing comebacks and last second shots.
Last night I got to witness an awesome game between SFA and VCU. These two teams went at it and at the beginning of the 2nd half it seemed that VCU was just going to run away with it.
Stephen F. Austin(pictured above), eventually was able to close the gap in the final minutes but found themselves down by four points with 10 seconds to go. Not impossible, but the odds were definitely against them.
Stephen F. Austin ended up hitting a three plus a free throw to force overtime, and they ended up winning in overtime.
I love it when teams refuse to give up until it's over.
That is the exact same attitude that we have to take day in and day out. If you have a goal that you are chasing guess what? It is never over until YOU DECIDE IT'S OVER.
Things will not go as planned and you probably won't get there as quick as you want to, but if you think like Stephen F. Austin thinks and keep going until you win, then it's not over.
In the Marines they taught us that no battle plan ever survives first contact with the enemy, so quit beating yourself up and get back to taking action towards the better you.
Gotta Run...............
MVP Mental Exercise
1. Think back to a time when you were going after a goal or a deadline that you knew you had to complete
2. What was your mindset like back then?
3. How can you apply that mindset to the goals that you want right now?
