What I learned this week:  I found it profound that we recognize that we are socialized to keep the status quo and as we strive to become great we need to learn to think differenly.  Below the 7 limiting beliefs as well as the 7 alternative first victory ones.  

Limiting belief #1: Remember your failures and Mistakes: those memories MOtivate you to improve. 

First Victory alternative belief #1 Remember what you want more of, that alters your brain and body so you’ll get more of it.

First Victory alternative belief #2:  Always Be your own best (and most honest) friend.

Limiting Belief #3: Always Be logical and think carefully about what you’re doing.

Limiting belief #6: Worship the gods:  the experts know what’s best and the winners have earned your reverence.
