🔥 The Psychology of Success

A problem a lot of athletes have as the levels go up is they’ve never been allowed to grow up

They’ve never matured beyond the parent being their mentor/coach/psychologist/decision maker

That might’ve been fine in 8th grade, but naturally as a man you want to establish independence-a sense of autonomy

So as you grow up your parents making all the decisions causes lower application and resentment

Because it’s not YOURS

It’s THEIRS

You correctly perceive you’re still operating on the level of a child-reliant on the parent for all decisions

Life gets very difficult when you confuse roles: thinking coach is your friend, thinking Mom is your agent, thinking your girlfriend is your psychologist

To succeed, you need many advisors (Proverbs 15:22), and they need to be in the CORRECT designations!
