Think Rank

Bad days. We've all got 'em. Or do we? Bad is a description. It's a choice. When things aren't going in our favor, maybe it's time to say "Now we got us a game!" And then get excited about the inluence we can have on the rest of our day via our mindset. That's what true professionals do to stay successful. That's what we can all learn to do to get better. That's rank. Think Rank. 

What's holding you back? If it's the past, get past the past. Let it go. Throw it out. You don't put a flat tire on a new car and expect to get anywhere faster. Start to manage your thoughts and your wheels will start rolling a whole lot smoother. Let the dead bury the dead. You've still got some living to do. That's rank. Think Rank.

You're only a loser as long as you choose to be. Stop blaming your "bad luck." You see in any situation what you expect to see. Give yourself the weapons and armor to win the battle within yourself - the one you may not even realize you're at war with. With awareness and effort, you can win. That's rank. Think Rank. 

You want more? Start changing the way you react and/or respond to life. Be aware. Evaluate. Take responsibility for every moment. Start with your choices to react or respond. We all have a past, but we can all have a better future if we start to choose better responses. That's rank. Think rank. 

You choose your thoughts. They determine the frequency you operate on each moment of each day. You feel your feelings. Your feelings reveal your thoughts. You have the power to recognize and change either of them. It's your call. Always.  That's rank. Think Rank.

Your rewards flow from where your mind goes - good or bad. True story. It's the old genie in a bottle -"your wish is my command" - concept. It's the law of attraction. It's biblical. It's how you get to the more in life. Your thoughts rule your results. You create your own outcomes. You are exactly where you thought you'd be. That's rank. Think Rank. 

By definition, getting means change. It brings something in that wasn't there before. If you want to get to greatness, start with gratitude for where you are, how you got there and know you have the ability to improve.  Start by writing down what/who you're grateful for. Then adjust the way you process your thoughts for more productive outcomes.  It's not always easy, but it is that simple. That's...

There's a reason you think and react the way you do. It's your programming over time. You can change that. Starting today. You can be in control of the blueprint for your thought process from here forward. You can control the pencil and the eraser on all of it. That's rank. Think Rank. Start now.

Two things change everything - your attitude and your awareness. The more aware you are of one the greater outcomes you have with the other - once you decide to act on them. You are your own "AAA" of getting help with your situations. You have a lifetime membership in powerfully affecting your results. All day. Every day. That's rank. Think Rank. 

If you don't want to be outridden by a girl (or two!) you'd better man up. And even then, that may not be enough - especially when the Eilert Twins are entered! David enjoys this interview with twin 18 year old bull riders Dayna and Madison Eilert. (And yes, they are female.) They ride. They win. They love what they do. They are not after fame or social media likes. They are refreshingly real "hor...

Jealous of what others have? How about being jealous of the work they did to get there, get that? That will change your perspective. So will discipline. Discipline yourself to win, starting with what you have. Then, you'll start to understand the difference between prizes and winning. That's rank. Think Rank. 

I'm not for everybody. Neither are you. There will always be those who don't have your back, who are not on your side - who may even mean well and care about you, but still bring you down or hold you back. Winners don't do that. Winners do winning things. You CAN win. Now. That's rank. Think Rank. 

First in a series of "the lost episodes" of the Think Rank podcast. This episode gives you a "how to" to dominate the times when the "yeah, but..."  and/or the "poor me..." creeps in. And it does - for all of us. Learning to manage those moments is rank. Think Rank. You can.  

Not a competitive person? Really? We were all born to win. We should compete with ourselves daily to improve in most things, but especially those things we are passionate about. You may need to regroup at Plan A, but if you're truly passionate about it, all other backup plans are just a cop out. If you really want to win, decide. Narrow your focus and win. That can be rank. Think Rank. You can.

If we wouldn't let someone else trash talk us, then why is it OK for us to trash tralk ourselves? If you want to succeed, it isn't. If you do and you listen to yourself, are you ready to give up? Don't. You have not exhausted your talent yet. Quit trash talking yourself and start winning. You can. That's rank. Think Rank. 

Not winning? Want to win more? Win again? Change your habits and behaviors. Your habits should reflect the behavior of where you want to be. Your behavior has to supercede your feelings. And success starts in the morning. That's rank. Think Rank. You can. 

The boss gives orders. The ranch hands and rudder operators carry them out, no questions asked. That's how your conscious thoughts get results from your subconscious actions. Your subconscious is a treasure house if you steer it in the right direction. Find your treasure. Use the ranch hands and the rudder operators in your mind to make it easier on you. You can. That's rank. Think Rank. 

In the animal kingdom, it's adapt or die. Continued success in our lives demands the same. It's as simple as becoming aware of your reactions and modifying them for better success. The opposite can be brutal. Settling is brutal. Thinking rank is acting on you awareness with winning results. Think Rank. 

Your past shouldn't be the high water mark of your life. Forgive yourself. Move forward. Quit watering dead flowers. What we think is who we are.  Your mind is a gold mine. Be healthy. Love yourself again. That's rank. Think Rank. 

Have you ever been paralyzed by your past? Poor me. Why me? What if? I grew so many crops of negative I needed help to harvest them all. The pity others gave me at so many micro-levels fed my victim ego. Now? I'm learning to let my past be my superpower. I can dominate what used to devastate me. You can, too. Take the pen back. Write your own story. That's rank. Think Rank.

Winning and worry are mutually exclusive. One cancels the other. Recognize. Redirect. And reap the benefits. It Starts with recognizing what's going on. You can. That's rank. Think Rank.

Compromise means to accept standards that are lower than is desirable. In relationships, compromise is acceptable. In winning, it is not. Compromise has consequences. Winners do winning things. What are you settling for? Start winning. Rely on your trained reactions. That's rank. Think Rank.

Control your thoughts, control your destiny. Thought and thinking are not the same. One's a thing. The other is a process. But you can control both. Sometimes to Think Rank may mean choosing not to act on a thought at all. That's Rank. Think Rank. Or let it go. 

Action wins. Losers procrastinate. Winners do winning things. Winners act - like there's no tomorrow. They Think Rank. Then they take action - now. They win - today. That's rank. Think Rank. Then do more. There's more.
