How to Crush Your Competition in No Time

Yesterday, while I was scrolling I came across a video on Youtube.

It was about the special abilities certain animals have.

Leopards can run 100 km/h. Dolphins can read your mind. Orange orangutans can benchpress 10 grandmas...

And I thought...

...We're the apex predator on this planet.

There is nothing that we as human beings can not kill.

Grizzly bear, whale, white shark, orangutan, doesn't matter. We find ways to kill it.

We're not the strongest or the fastest. We don't have the biggest claws. And no matter how hard you train, a medium sized ape can still tear your arm off without breaking a sweat.

So why are we so dominant? Because we can plan ahead. Prepare for different scenarios. Strategize.

That's our main strength and... also our greatest weakness. You already know why because you've experienced this yourself.

At 2 in the morning your brain decides to remind you of the time you messed up that date with that girl.

Or the fact you haven't closed a client yet. Or those two things on your todolist you haven't done.

Or you're doing work during the day and your brain randomly decides to remind you that you just might fail miserably.

I want you to adopt a mantra for when that sort of stuff happens.

A way of dealing with self sabotage, doubt and your minds' tendency to overcomplicate stuff.

One problem at a time.

When it happens just remind yourself that allllll of those future issues? They will be dealt with in time.

We can only deal with one thing at a time.

Takes a bit of repetition but eventually you will take control of your brain and force it to focus on the next thing on the list.

One problem at a time ladies and gentlemen. This is the way.
