Micheal Jorden.
Driven from Within by Michael Jordan gives you an inside perspective on how MJ lives his life.
He explains how he doesn’t worry about things that are outside of his control, work on what you can control, and strive to be the best in those things.
Living to his fullest potential, whether it be competing in a ping pong game, to the way he dresses, to how he trains for every single game on the court.
Leading by example, being the first one in the gym, and the last one home.
Heading to the practice court the day after winning ANOTHER championship, hoping to repeat again.
When asked about what drove him to succeed:
“When we won one championship, then I wanted to win two in a row. When we won two, then I wanted to win three in a row because Larry and Magic never won three straight.”
It’s a great example of what Jordan considers “tricking” yourself into creating goals.
Always something small and attainable.
You shouldn’t expect to go into the NBA and exclaim, “I am going to win 3 championships in a row!”
You keep your goals short term so they are attainable, this leads to more successes, and makes life more enjoyable.
