On your search to be the best you need to understand a few important things.

The are many creative growth traps to avoid and many breakthroughs you will experience, one of the creative growth traps to avoid is the calcification of the imagination.

This happens over time if we don't exercise our imagination and can be the feeling of a dullening of existence.

The comparison trap

Another growth trap is the comparison of yourself to other people. You are uniquely equipped and capable to do what you are here to do. Trust and remember that. The problem is that we often get lost in a comparison trap. Where we think the grass is greener on the other side. It's actually just the actualization of the person that you are seeing and the comparison is unnecessary as you have the same potential resources within you.

The champion takes complete responsibility for their own success or failure.

The champion fails forward faster.

The champion’s always willing to do the work. To do what it takes for as long as it takes to have what they want.

The champion is not complaining about what he can’t do or why it won’t work out, he’s too focused on what he can do and how it can work out.

The champion is not a hack, fraud, or fake, he disciplines himself to become who he was meant to be. To be the best he can be.

He wins the medal, earns the money, feels the success long before it manifests in reality.

He’s setting the goal, and then trying every strategy and approach until he gets the result he wants

He learns to feel the way winning feels before he has the prize, and he learns how to create the states he desires because of his purpose and mission

He sees the masterpiece he creates in the world before he manifests his vision

Here’s the simplified formula:

Plan it out and complete the mission.

Plan the work, then work the plan.

Success is scheduled.

That’s the secret.

I learned from Brendon Burchard that if the mind doesn’t know all the steps involved in getting to an end result, your heart will ask to pause.

I say, the only way to ensure success is to ensure you complete the mission.

The only way to do that is to know what has to be done, which equals your plan.

You can complete the mission if you have all the tasks and projects broken down into workblocks and worksets that are scheduled on the calendar. That’s the secret.

The 3 levels of learning

Their are 3 levels of learning. The first is the information level. This level is not that valuable because their is an abundance of information happening to us throughout our daily lives. We cannot process all of it in a meaningful way unless we reach the next level of learning which is the activation level. It is at this activation level that we see information we’ve learned activated in our lives or into scenarios. It is the level of awareness that allows us to understand and make intelligent decisions which lead to the third level, practice. This is the ground level details. Where the rubber meets the road. Where action is taken with the information. John Assaraf, a mentor of mine calls it Praxis. Where knowledge and action meet. Modern Musicianship is phronesis and praxis.

The champion has a learn by doing strategy, as what they learn they put into practice. The third level of learning.

Well designed vs. Undesigned destination

The champion understands that if they don’t do what they need to now, they can’t be where they want to be tomorrow. The secret here is that you will either end up with a well designed or an undesigned destination. Modern Musicians, Champions, have detailed blueprints for who they want to be, what they want to have, and what they want to achieve. They understand what their dream lifestyle and career look like, as well as know how they want to feel when they get there.

They consciously create their reality and improve incrementally in all ways all the time

Once we have the blueprints, the only way to ensure your success is to complete the mission.

Champions build an optimal workflow structure to perform and produce their best long term

The Champions Creed:

I am a champion in life who achieves his goals and dreams I am a master of the universe and I live life on my own terms. I do what it takes for as long as it takes to achieve my goals and fulfill my desires. I know that I have the ability to achieve my definite purpose in life:
therefore I demand of myself, persistent, continuous action towards
its attainment and I here and now promise to render such action.

I am the triumphant creator of my destiny, and I live in the riches of my abundance each day.

I make definite plans to be all that I can possibly become, and go all in on achieving my success.

I embody kaizen in all I do.

I fully realize that no wealth or position will long endure
unless it is built upon love and authenticity; 
therefore I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit
all to whom it effects.

I am succeeding by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use
and the cooperation of other people.

I induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others.
I eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, cynicism, anger, and fear
by developing a true love for all humanity, I develop a oneness with life and truly serve the greatest good for everyone
 because I know that a negative attitude towards others
will never bring me success. 
I cause others to believe in me because I believe in them 
and believe in myself.
 This is my creed, my quest.
To never stop striving for mastery. 
To always keep moving forward.
To always be the very best I can be. I will always do what it takes, for as long as it takes to fulfill my dreams and desires.
I am the power. I am the magic. I cannot be stopped. I am a Champion.
I promise to always be true to myself

because I am the creator and master of my universe
 and I am responsible for making a positive difference in the world 
and to the quality of life in it. 
I live in continuous improvement, in a state of constant and never-ending improvement. I am the creator of my reality and I can disengage with anything that doesn’t serve me by creating my paradise. My heaven on earth. I do this through my thoughts, feeling, speech and action. I flow with the almighty powers of the universe and have transformative influence on the world
