Motivational Monday…Focus Your Energy
Have you ever found yourself in a business transaction or playing a game where things seem to be going wonkers?
Saturday, Larry and I watched the French Open match between Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka. The weather conditions weren’t 
perfect, and it was a struggle for Sabalenka.
Of course, Gauff experienced the same conditions, but it was how she met them that made the difference (she won).
She turned her energy not towards the windy conditions but towards making adjustments so that she was in control, not the weather.
What’s the takeaway?
~Learn to focus on things you can control. We can’t control the weather or someone’s behavior, however, we can control how we react.
~Channel your energy towards something positive. Her opponent appeared to blame the conditions and direct her energies there. In Coco’s case, rather than spend wasted energy on missed serves or the bad weather, she saved hers to focus on the hits and serves she knew she could make.
This week, place your focus on the things you know you can do…direct your energies towards positive actions and people!
The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
