32: How Successful Athletes Think

LEARN TO THINK DIFFERENTLY.

 

To do that you need to question popular thinking. Popular thinking is:

  • Too Average to Understand the Value of Good Thinking
  • Too Naive to Recognize the Importance of Realistic Thinking
  • Too Undisciplined to Release the Power of Strategic Thinking
  • Too Trendy to Embrace the Lessons of Reflective Thinking
  • If you want to become a good thinker, then start preparing yourself for the possibility of becoming unpopular.

 

YOU SHOULD QUESTION THE ACCEPTANCE OF POPULAR THINKING.

 

I’ve given you some broad reasons for questioning the acceptance of popular thinking. Now allow me to be more specific:

  1. Popular Thinking Sometimes Means Not Thinking
  2. Popular Thinking Offers False Hope
  3. Popular Thinking Is Slow To Embrace Change
  4. Popular Thinking Brings Only Average Results

Popular = Normal = Average

 

HOW TO QUESTION THE ACCEPTANCE OF POPULAR THINKING:

 

  1. Think Before You Follow
  2. Appreciate Thinking Different From Your Own
  3. Continually Question Your Own Thinking
  4. Try New Things In New Ways
  5. Get Used To Being Uncomfortable

 

ASK YOURSELF…

 

Am I consciously rejecting the limitations of common thinking in order to accomplish uncommon results?
