Perspective Drives Performance

let's get into it so perspective drives performance is the title of this podcast and this is actually a remake from the episode that i did i think it was the third one maybe the second one that i did when i first started this show and i think that i'm a little bit better of a speaker now and it is an important message that needs to be resurfaced i always talk about perspective i'd like to think that the underlying theme and messages of this podcast and wherever it is you're watching my content is all about changing the way that you see things but it is arguably to me one of the most important skills or traits that you can develop as a person And I would honestly say that everything in this show, everything that we talk about is kind of in vain if you are not practicing this in your day-to-day.

If you are not staying curious, if you are not asking questions, if you are not trying to put yourself in other people's shoes or seeing a situation from a different light.

And I just believe it's a big blocker in your life if you don't do this.

It's something that was a blocker as...

in my life as a young man and I see it in a lot of people in their 40s and 50s that don't ever really think about this, right? Don't ever really think about their thinking and how they view things and why they view things and how can they try and view something differently? Because the way that we see things, right? The way that we think about things determines the way that we feel and the way that we feel determines how we are going to act so if we can change that thought if we can challenge that thought and maybe give it a different kind of angle then that chain reaction goes down to your actions and then we know that your actions basically determine your life so if you can practice this if you can nail this it's going to have a massive impact My favorite speaker, my role model, let's say Inky Johnson, this is his line, right? Perspective drives performance.

How an individual views what they do will always influence how they do what they do.

Going back to that sort of think, feel, act, the way that you think about a situation is going to determine the feeling and that's going to determine how you show up in that moment.

And it is the way that we show up in certain moments in our lives that cause us to get the results in our lives that we have.

So I just think it's such a powerful concept to be able to just take a moment, right? Take a moment to see if we can give something a different meaning.

Because what we need to understand is things themselves don't have meaning.

And essentially, a lot of things are meaningless, right? We attach meaning to it.

We give a story to it.

And the story that we give creates that chain of reactions, right? I'm not going to go through the think, feel and act again, but essentially that is what we're trying to do.

We're trying to change the top of the funnel.

We're trying to change that first domino so that the way that they fall could be different.

And hopefully by the end of this episode, I'm going to give you the push to start asking those questions, to start seeing things differently.

And I would like to say that a lot of people who are already listening to this do practice this in their day to day.

So maybe this stuff is just reaffirming what you already know, right? So starting off with a little personal story, I guess, as to how I got into this and why this kind of message resonates with me so much.
