This episode is all about approaching your goals with
a “leave it all out on the field" mentality.
Whatever it is you want to do in life, right now, in
short term or in the long term… this is how Lindsay is trying to
train herself to approach it.
Get out there, try your hardest and leave it all out
on the field.
Keep going one foot in front of the other until we
cant go anymore.
And either we are victorious OR we have exhausted all
options and it just didn’t work. Either one of those are
acceptable.
It simplifies things and it takes the pressure off!
You just have to try your hardest- leave it all out there!
And it’s either going to work or you can look at yourself in
the mirror and say, listen it didn’t work this time, and that’s
ok!
Here are a few topics that Lindsay talks
about:
-Defining “leave it all on
the field.”
Hold nothing back, put it all on the line.
Don’t end the game feeling like you could have given more. Don’t
leave feeling like you played it safe when you had the opportunity
for something greater.
-Everyday we
have a choice…
You can spend each day feeling exhausted - in the best way-
knowing that you gave everything. Or you can hesitate, hold back,
second guess and get in your own way of what you have to
give.
Path
1- The first path is where you go for
it!! You let your heart guide you. You’re creative and
curious and free. You enjoy the process not just the
destination.
Path
2- The
second path is filled with second-guessing, what-ifs, comparing
yourself, setting up boundaries that don’t exist and seeking
approval from others. You have anxiety and nervousness and
indecisiveness.
The Difference:
One way leads
you to feeling thoroughly used up, knowing that you gave everything
and held nothing back. Like at the end of a good run, you’re tired,
yet energized.
The other way
leaves you with a feeling of stress, sort of held back and
frustrated and unsatisfied.
-It’s all
about the burning desire to want to give all that you have to
everything you do. Every interaction, every acton.
Even the smallest things can be done with
great love.
-We won’t be perfect.
There will be
days where we stumble and lose our way.
Sometimes you
will make little things a bit deal or forget what’s really
important to you. You will get distracted and go off in the wrong
direction. But then you will remember to retrace your steps
and take notice.
And you’ll wake up again the next day and give
everything you’ve got to whatever you’re doing. Hold nothing
back. End each day knowing you left it all out on the field.
That’s the way I want to end each day.
Because it feels awesome.
