NORTON

tivated, believing we may have already lost. When this happens it can set us back or even completely derail us from completing something or competing for something that we were once very passionate about. What we should always remember is that it doesn’t matter if they seem bigger, better, faster or stronger than we are. No, what matters is how we show up and the size of our heart, passion and desire to win.

The small consulting company beat the Goliaths they faced because they were better prepared, brought specifi c expertise and were never intimidated by their competition. They never let themselves feel like they were out of the game.

How about you? Are there times where you feel overwhelmed, outnumbered and outmatched? Do you keep yourself in the right head space when it comes to staying in the game? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can show up prepared to win, expecting to win, and with the passion and desire to win, it really will be a better than good life.
