We all sit glued to the chair watching Olympic players winning gold. But do you know what is so unique to any Olympic Gold medal winners? It is: a strong mind set. Researchers give the following traits to describe the Olympic mindset:
- 100% determination: For example come hail, rain or sun shine, an Olympian will be training!
- Strength: Olympians are strong – mentally and physically. They cannot be discouraged by others while working for the gold medal.
- Hard working: Not just raw hard work. What is more important is their hard work is combined with focus.
- Motivation: Olympians are driven by a very powerful dream.
- Ability to deal with adversity: They are not deterred by setbacks.
- Optimistic and positive mental attitude: They have a strong positive inner dialogue.
- Strong focus: Like the laser beam, unlike the torch light beam!
- High stress tolerance: They can accept defeat in front of millions of viewers as equally as winning in front of them!
The above eight traits are applicable to anyone with a goal. Can you rate yourself how you come out with reference to these qualities? May be you can do a weekend self audit!
