Printers, Please...(Mind Exercise from Maximus)

Maximus here, and today is the day you and I put pen to paper and take dreams from the Sleep realm, to where they belong: into reality!

As promised, last week I told you I'd share with you some questions you can ask yourself to get into the mindset of achieving more. I recommend you

1. print these out,
2. grab a pen or pencil and
3. sit down in a quiet place where you can think, and
4. answer these without rushing or distraction.

Maximus’ Questionnaire

• If you desire to change the world where would you start?
• What holds you back in this life today?
• What can you do about those things that hold you back in your life today?
• Write down 10 things you would do if you had absolutely no fear? ...then pick one and do it!
• What kind of person are you?
• What is your comfort zone?
• When is the last time you failed? And what did you learn?
• If you had absolutely no limitations and could confidently know everything you attempted would be successful what sort of person would you be in 1, 5, 10 years? (3 part answer)

These sorts of questions are meant to drive creative thought, get you thinking about your blind spots and shortcomings, and show you a path to overcome them.

Putting pen to paper is how you’ll get something out of this exercise. Simply answering the questions in your head doesn’t have nearly the same level of psychological effect.

In closing, I'll leave you with an idea I got from Steve Chandler who, along with many other books, wrote, “The Prosperous Coach”. While it's written to a coach audience, this quote applies to athletes and weightlifters and humans in general.

Think on this:

The struggling *person* has huge dreams that overwhelm them. The professional *person* has huge dreams and takes tiny steps every day.”

(I substituted “person” for “coach”)

May you be inspired to take action today like never before!
