DIVERSION

How do the greats like Muhammad Ali, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sachin Tendulkar carry themselves with so much belief? People think that they do it because they are great. The reality is quite likely the opposite. Believe and work hard, you will realise your dreams.

But, it’s difficult. Not because you can’t do it. You just need to do it everyday without fail. Be consistent.

This is when having a good hobby or mindful activity can act as a good diversion. Engage your mind so that you don’t fall into the negative traps again. Something that is constructive and healthy like a workout or cooking a good meal for yourself. Don’t fall back to the old patterns in your comfort zone. Familiar territory and activities take the mind back to the familiar thought patterns. The same patterns which we are looking to avoid.

Divert. Live to fight this another day.
