"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than the fear." Franklin D. Roosevelt High performers choose courage instead of comfort.

High performers know who they are. They grow in their awareness of themselves and one way to do that is to identify your core values in a conscious way. Meaning, you decide what values, or core beliefs, you want guiding you in this phase of life. Then, you can use these values to guide your behavior and actions. Power Phrase this Week: "I know myself and use my values to guide my actions each day." Quote of the Week: Elvis Presley said, "Values are like fingerprints. Nobody's are the same, but you leave them all over everything you do."

High performers are intentional with their outlook realizing that they can change their focus at any time. They use the practice of reframing each day when they experience difficulties. They don't ignore the difficulty, but instead see a different perspective and how experiencing the obstacle is helping them. This helps them feel positive and motivated to keep going in their life, sport, and/or job. Power Phrase this Week: "I use reframing regularly to keep me passionate and charged for my goals and my life. I see a setback as a comeback."

You have to have a positive expectation about yourself, other people, and the circumstances in your life.

Many of us have gifts that we are not expressing to their fullest. We may not have reflected about what is unique about us, or we might have taken our own unique gifts for granted.

Dr. Kamphoff asks us to consider "What is in your Zone of Genius? How can you spend more time in that zone?" When you make the choice to do just that, you thrive. You spend more time doing what you love and what you were uniquely designed to do. This Week's Power Phrase: "I own my unique skills and talents. I engage in what I love." Quote of the Week: "Hard work doesn't feel like hard work when you are doing what you love." —Unknown

Today on the podcast we discuss expectations. Expectations can place pressure on us without even realizing it. To be our best more often, we want to stay focused on excellence, not perfection. We are at our best without expectations when we are focused on the process (the small things we need to do) and our mind is in the present (not the future where expectations live). Today, to be the best you that you can be – do your best and have fun. These two expectations will free you from pressure. Power Phrase this Week: "I do my best and have fun!" Quote of the Week: "Expect nothing, appreciate everything." Anonymous

Leading yourself can be very difficult because our brain is hardwired to see what is missing. Instead, you can lead yourself to your own personal vision by remembering these three principles: 1) What you think about yourself, you become, 2) Thoughts only have power if you believe them, and 3) You can act independent of how you feel. Chance thinking doesn't lead to success – instead, make time each day to master your thoughts and lead yourself. This Week's Power Phrase: "I level up my thinking to level up my life!" Quote of the Week: ""Work harder on yourself than you do your job."—Jim Rohn, American businessman and self-made millionaire
