What’s a quiet winner?

It’s someone who has discovered the secret that he who embraces silence to the greatest extent is in the best position to rise to victory in any situation.

This applies to any worthy pursuit requiring expertise…

Are you an athlete? Then you need to train your mind to silence, or victory will be fleeting. Are you a sales professional? Then you too must abide in silence or your mental chatter will defeat your efforts to win the sale. Are you a teacher, a health care worker, an entrepreneur, or a parent? Silence is still the answer!

No Mind

In The Last Samurai, Tom Cruise is learning to fight with a “bo stick.” Time and again, he attacks his instructor and gets knocked back down. Until the instructor says, in broken English, “Too much mind! No mind! No mind!”

Suddenly, Tom begins to win.

What the teacher was conveying was that the instinctual responses necessary to claim victory are most effective when left to their own devices.

Without the burden of conscious thought!

If you’re mentally rehearsing your next move while in the line of fire, you’ll quickly find yourself defeated.

But embrace silence through diligent practice, and your body and mind will do exactly what they need to do when they need to do it.

So, learn your skill, master your craft, and then learn to become quiet inside.

Become a quiet winner.

My first book, UnHypnosis, contains great exercises to cultivate the inner silence of championship. Check it out.
