When we begin to see the events of our lives as the results of thoughts and actions, as nothing more than data to guide us on our path to our desires, we are empowered with a more powerful psychological wellbeing, with the kind of mental health, mental strength and emotional mastery that make up an unbeatable mind capable of achieving the highest performance levels. Approaching life as play is a secret sauce in all my favorite recipes for consistent performance at an elite level. Just like fearless athletes, we can all learn to practice seeing obstacles as challenges – business challenges, physical challenges, personal life challenges, mental health challenges – when we see these all as challenges, we can then PLAY the game of life. We can build our mental skills from training and practice. Mindfulness training and mental maintenance are practical pursuits for all of us to improve performance levels whether in sports, business or life. Mental Toughness and immense commitment levels are not just for your favorite fearless athletes.

Whether you’re reading this as a college athlete, a parent, an entrepreneur, an employee, a manager or whatever, lets agree that everyday life is filled with abundant opportunities, but to take advantage we must learn to overcome the “obstacles” that will show up along the way. It’s fun to compete against Spotify and the other big fish for terms like unbeatable mind, mental health, mental maintenance, mindfulness training, and of course Mental Toughness Podcast! It’s definitely a challenge to write this way, but it’s fun too. The “gift” is that I get to play the SEO game writing more content for the world to get Google to help me have you find this content. The “problem” this passage addresses is that I need to grow the audience for Tough Talks, my Mental Toughness Podcast. A Special Note to All Seekers of Mental Health and High Performance in Life
