Determined

Good morning hoopers! How are we using our will power? Is it helping us or hurting us? Think about a teacher or parent trying to make you do something that you don’t really want to do. Trying to make you take interest in something you couldn’t care less about. Trying to (what feels like) control your life. How does that make you feel? What’s the end result? Let me guess… If you did actually do what you were told, you were miserable the entire way, and no one was happy. You may have done a poor job because you were doing in out of force.
Now think about those things that you actually enjoy doing? The things that you want to learn. Those things that, even though it’s making you a better person, student or athlete, even when no one is forcing you or watching you, you still do it to your best ability. I’m sure it’s a more pleasurable experience for you. You probably see better results that way.
The only difference in the two is YOUR MINDSET! If you mentally adjust your way of thinking to a more positive approach, your situation will turn around. Keep your stubborn way!! Keep that determination!! But be determine, stubborn and strong willed about learning, becoming better and growing. You’ll be unstoppable…
