Operation Patience

When Robert Griffin III wore his “Operation Patience” shirt this week during pregame warm-ups I was ecstatic because this is the mind set needed to come back from anything especially an injury like he suffered last year. Recall when “Operation Patience” was operating on patient” Namely RGII. I remember pointing out the treatment center where Dr. James Andrews treats athletes to my son. We were driving by the same day RGIII was in Birmingham to have his surgery. My son asked how long it would take. I thought as it up to him and the Lord. It seems RGII and the Lord did their job and now the coach is doing his job to protect the athlete. Patience is mind-set that takes time because even when you are ready maybe all the other forces are not.

Had Coach Mike Shanahan employed “Operation Patience” during the final game of the season and taken Griffin out we probably wouldn’t be in this discussion now. Patience learns from its mistakes. Looking forward with expectation but waiting for the right opportunity takes patience. The NFL fined RGIII for wearing this shirt but the message to the fans and the world is clear. The coach and front office of the Washington Redskins learned the lesson of patience. Preparation and timing are forged in patience. RGII and the Redskins are set and reloaded thanks to “Operation Patience”.

by

You have to retrain to be a better you. In order to cross the next barrier change the narrative. Vintage UK England queen Elizabeth 2 Buckingham Palace 1970s Vintage UK England Queen Elizabeth 2 Buckingham Palace 1970s
How you see yourself and how you see the situation will determine how you see the end results.There are many things we do by habit that hold us back. In most situations we are our worst enemy . The process of retraining takes serious dedication. The dedication is necessary because the retraining primarily is in the mind. You have to constantly stop previous thoughts and perceptions.
Change the Narrative
Someone or something is narrating your life right now. Your job is to make sure it is the narrative you want. You have to check this daily because influencers are all around you. You change the narrative by writing your goals and sticking to them.
Retrain your mind
Recently I received a referral for Spencer Wood Recycling from a friend I haven’t spoken with in 3 years. Note: Thank God for the blessing of longevity.  This new customer was in an area that I have not visited for a very long time. I thought it was not a good area did not have any good prospects. It turns out that there are many  opportunities to expand. I had to retrain my mind that there are  opportunities everywhere.
Undermine bad habits
Bad habits are anything that detracts from the dream. Too much sleep is a bad habit that robs you of energy.  One of my bad habits is over thinking a  situation. I combat this by revisiting my goals and staying conscious of my flaw enough to  retrain my thought process.  Look for a moment to discover your bad habits then explode them by retraining yourself to perform good habits that promote achievable dreams.
