So then, what’s the difference between the pilot who gets into bad weather and ends up crashing an airplane due to mental vertigo and one who doesn’t? One word: Experience!
Here is the difference between the person who gets a lot of results and few results: the person who can master mental vertigo and eliminate it from their thinking as quickly as possible will get the most results.
We will have a tendency to make things bigger and worse than they really are. Having a solid, clear definition of success helps us to look beyond the vertigo. Without it, we crash.
“Things that move want to keep moving!” It doesn’t say they have to move fast, we just have to “move”.
You know as well as I do when we keep moving forward, even though it may be slow, sooner or later the numbers game will take over and something positive is bound to take place. Now what will happen to our level of motivation? It will climb and you know the rest of the story!
Build a higher tolerance to mental pain and you will not allow frustration to cause you to stop in the middle of your tracks. Charge that frustration with the tenacity of a bull. Accept it. Welcome it. And you will see more success!
