 We don't control the vast majority of stuff that goes on in this world That was a tough pill for me to swallow because I'm somewhat of a control freak But we control how we respond to it. How many of you have children? How many of you were children? Okay, yeah So at some point you can probably relate to the fact that you either had a parent say this or you've said this yourself Because I just bust out laughing when I say this to my kids now Like you don't control Luke you don't control what your brother Jack does But you control how you respond. Yes, I know you didn't want him to bite your neck But there's nothing we can do about that now So how you choose to respond and whether you punch him or bite him back now that's on you So the world is always going to throw things at us and there's going to be feedback given to us at all times Because life is nothing more than a series of at bats Everything we do is just another rep It's just another at bat and every at bat we get gives us some type of feedback And if you want to be a high performer if you want to be a high achiever if you want to raise your game Then you have to choose To take every single thing that's thrown at you and use it in a way that serves you and moves you forward Instead of choosing to use it in a way that cripples you and moves you back Feedback in and of itself. Please know is completely unbiased It's sterile It's not positive or negative. It only becomes positive or negative when we as human beings choose To associate emotions to it when you can Depersonalize it and step away from all Feedback from a personal standpoint and say what from this can I use to make myself better and choose that consistently as opposed to How can I use this to regress and move back? You'll be well on your way to being a high performer and the choice is always always yours basic, right? Definitely not easy when Jack bites Luke's neck for him not to turn around and punch him is a really really hard decision for an Eight-year-old to make but it's one that I'm trying to condition them to understand that that is not a knee jerk response That is a choice
