Think Rank

A no-holds-barred interivew with first time NFR qualifier Lukasey Morris. Wise beyond his years about life and the business of bull riding. Get ready to be a fan. 

When you're a winner, no one expects more of you than you. No one's harder on you than yourself. You are often the last one to forgive the mistakes you've made and the first one who needs to do it to move forward successfully. Forgiveness is rank. Think rank. Forgive yourself and move on. 

Re-light. Get back in the fight. Success doesn't settle. We do. Think Rank. Then Do something about it. Action makes it real. That's truth. That's Rank. Think Rank. 

Change your thinking. Change your life. Dread's in your head. Why live your life with rank regret? Worry and winning cannot coexist in your brain. Life happens. To all of us. You can regret or you can regroup. Every day. That's rank. Think Rank. 

You'll excel further at what you put your heart into. Heart is physical. It's a muscle. Heart is spiritual. It's something deeper done with love. It's what lets us do more than we ever thought we were capable of. That's rank. Think rank. Use your heart for best results. 

Thinking is in your brain. Feeling is in your heart. Your heart was formed before your brain. Your most powerful thoughts have feelings behind them. That's rank. Think Rank. Think about it. Feel it. Merry Christmas rank thinkers! 

Thinking is just your brain solving the questions you ask it. Easy questions = the easy way out. If you want more, ask more, then do more with the answers. Our thinking is only limited by the questions we ask ourselves. Rank results come from rank answers that come from rank questions. Think Rank. 

Hunger. Desire. Passion. Commitment. Know that there's a way to do what's never been done before. There is. It starts in your head. If it stays in your head, you'll find a way. Old ways won't open new doors. Stay hungry. Think Rank. 

What's the difference between having fun and loving what you do? Knowing the difference can make all the difference. Qualifiers to the National Finals Rodeo this week in Las Vegas have experienced both angles. Loving the process is the only way to make the journey, not matter how rank the path. Think Rank. Enjoy the process. 

Gratitude changes you. Be grateful. It's profound. It's that rank. Think Rank.

There are many things in life we have no control over. Two of the things we do have absolute control over are our thoughts and our decisions. Demand success of yourself. Are you truly committed to the decisions you make? Like "until death do us part" committed? Think about it. That's rank. Think Rank. Maybe it's time to make better decisions. 

Ever feel like you're not on target? Ever wonder why? Lose the negative. Find "ranker" reasons. Hit your targets. Rank rerasons rock. Think Rank.

Improving calls for change. Our end results are what we want to change. Your paradigms control your end results. Quit fighting with yourself. Change your paradigms and change your end results. That's rank. Think Rank!

Unless your decisions are backed up with discipline, your desires are going to seem less possible. Think Rank. Make disciplined decisions, not excuses. Eliminate your feelings from the situation. David opens up about his past to help you open up your future. 

There are many different types of confidence. Some "hold water," some don't. Know and more importantly - GROW - yours to be waterproof. It's a rank idea. Think Rank. You can.

If you compete, you're going to get beat. You're going to lose. Not always, but that's competition. That's life. Maybe we don't need rules that make us feel better about losing. Maybe we need to do the work and do something about it if we're truly competitors. 

"I am" is a powertful statement. Remind and reinforce the winner in you - everyday - by believing who you are and that you were created for more. Begin with "I am..." Wear it like armor. That's rank. Think Rank.

I'm the best - the best I can be - so far. Tomorrow I plan on being better. I celebrate successes, but I don't settle. I'm not better than anyone, but I'll never quit bettering myself. That's rank. Think Rank. 

You work hard. Really hard. A lot.  You can be persistant, but you can't have it all. Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy your brain at the same time. You have to choose. Identify and eliminate the negative for watch your persistence pay off.

Want to win? Succeed? Improve? Get in shape? Sleep better? Plan on it. Hope isn't a plan. Wishing isn't a plan. Make a plan. Work on it and work in it. Winners do winning things. Plan on it. 

Winners get the job done as required and then some - over and over again. They make the choice to succeed and then execute their plans with responsibility, discipline and urgency. A perfect way to remember Sherm... 

We can get better as we age. Hope and targets help make it happen. What's the rosin of life that makes them stick, makes them happen? 

Ervin Williams. The Tulsa Twister. Great stories from one of the greatest - from sleeping with bears to riding bulls, from riding percentages to out riding your past. If you know Ervin, you love him. If you don't know him, you'll want to meet him. Amazing. Entertaining. No egos allowed.   

Been there. Done that. Got the video to prove it. This week's Think Rank "lesson" is borrowed from Olypmic record demolisher Michael Phelps and his long-time coach Bob Bowman. Swimming and bull riding? Don't get the connection? Listen and then watch the video.
