Mark Given explores Paul Gaudio's observation that athletes want improvement but resist change. He outlines five concrete steps: make peace with discomfort, release the past while learning from it, focus on what matters, invest in yourself, and stay open to feedback.
Hey, I'm Mark Given, founder of the Trust-Based Philosophy and the Trust-Based Academy, and you're watching Mark's Minute. You and me being better. I read somewhere recently that Paul Gaudio, the global creative director of Adidas, once said, "Every athlete wants to be better, but many don't want to change." I think that applies to so very many people in so very many scenarios. In fact, we all may be guilty of laziness sometimes. So just to help, here are 5 ways that Success Magazine says that we can help ourselves to influence personal change. Number 1, make peace with the uncomfortable because we won't change until we're comfortable being uncomfortable. Number 2, let go of the past. It's important to learn from it but not dwell on it. Remember that our best and brightest days still lie ahead of us. Not behind. Number 3, focus more on what's truly important. Seek the bigger picture. Number 4, invest in yourself. So thanks for watching Mark Spinnott. And number 5, be open to feedback. Real help is invaluable, so be willing to accept it. It's the unkind criticism that we should shun. So thanks for watching. Hope you know that I'm always rooting for your success, and I'm struggling every day ride along with you trying to be the best person that I can possibly be. Have a great day and keep building trust.
