How To Strengthen The Mind By Being Your Very Own Artist

Creating Your Masterpiece

When you hear masterpiece what springs to mind? Is it, Beethoven or Van Gough? Whoever it is, they all have one thing in common: the mindset to want to create. Without creation, there is no masterpiece and without action, there is no creation. To create a masterpiece within the mind you first have to strengthen the mind.

A masterpiece doesn’t just lie in paintings and music. It can be anywhere in life that needs creativity. It can be in sport with the likes of Lionel Messi with the ball at his feet or it could be an architect designing Burj Khalifa.

The point of this article is to discover how you can make your mind a masterpiece. Something that you can be truly proud of and to be shown for the world to see. The most famous person I can think of who has sculpted their mind to a level to be marvelled at is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. A person who has transformed himself from a wrestling superstar to an action movie star, successful business owner and overall good person. This didn’t just magically come to be. This has taken years of sculpting that’s still in development today.

This is the mindset we should all strive for. And to sculpture our own mind in an image we can be proud to show the world and ourselves. We should look at the mind like a canvas or clay mould where we can sculpture our very desires and habits to benefit our life.

Visulise The Mind You Would Love To Have

Like anything, before you can create you must plan. And visualising the life you want is a good start. When you have a clear picture of the person you want to become. Now is the time to put that into action.

Whatever life you would love to have you must analyse what areas of the mind you need to strengthen as a priority. There is a clear difference between someones life goal to be an adventurer compared to being an artist. Plus we all have strengths and weaknesses based on our personality that only we will know.

Areas Of Your Mind/Life You Can Sculpture

The areas of your mind and life you can develop is a long list. I wrote down as many areas I could think of that I would like to develop. From being calm under pressure, taking action against my fears and creating habits that would boost my self-belief and focus.

What everyone should strive for is a life where you are happy and successful at what you do. Sculpting your mind to develop parts of it that reflect this is a good start.

From your list pick your top 5 areas you want to strengthen the mind and work on this for a year. Yes, I said year. Making something truly part of your life will take a prolonged time of continuous habit and fine-tuning. For example, practising the art of gratitude is completely different from when I first attempted it where I didn’t like or benefit from it. Where now due to fine-tuning I have something that works seamlessly in my life and do benefit from.

You Are A Few Edges Away From Your Best Self

Without knowing you have been developing your masterpiece mind since the day you was born. Some masterpieces are easy to create and some are hard. But understand that you’re just a few edges away from creating your best self. Wherever you are in life. The best thing about it, it’s yours to sculpt.

Some masterpieces are not truly appreciated until long after the creator dies and some masterpieces are not created until later in life. For you to be your best self it can start today no matter if you are 20, 40 or 60 years of age.

All it takes is a mindset change, one more strength that makes the difference or an article that inspire you into action. Just like the famous picture of the digger hunting for gold giving up at the last moment. Don’t be that person and believe you can create the mind that changes your life.

Action List

Visulise the life you want to have.
Focus on 5 areas of the mind that can help you attain your goal.
After 1 year maintain and focus on next 5 areas of focus.
Always remember you are a few edges from your best self.

Unlock Success with the Olympic Training Mindset

UUnlock Success with the Olympic Training Mindset

Imagine possessing the unwavering confidence of a champion while embracing the relentless dedication of an underdog. This is the essence of the “Play Like Your Number 1, Train Like Your Number 2” mindset, a philosophy that can transform not just athletes but anyone striving for greatness.

The Power of the Olympic Training Mindset

Maurice Greene, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, encapsulated this mindset perfectly: “Play like your number 1, train like your number 2.” This principle involves harnessing the self-assurance required to perform at your peak while dedicating yourself to rigorous preparation. Greene’s legacy as a sprinter and record holder exemplifies how confidence combined with hard work drives success.

Learn from the Legends

Maurice Greene’s Wisdom

Greene’s philosophy was not just about performing well but about continuously pushing the boundaries. Before Usain Bolt’s era, Greene held the 100 meters record, showcasing how a champion’s attitude coupled with tireless training was key to his success. His approach highlights the balance between believing in oneself and working diligently to maintain that status.

Adam Peaty’s Journey

Adam Peaty, a British swimmer, vividly demonstrated this mindset during the 2024 Paris Olympics. After a remarkable streak of victories and world records, Peaty faced setbacks but remained committed to training like an underdog. His perseverance and mindset allowed him to return to peak performance, showcasing the power of blending confidence with continuous effort.

How the Olympic Training Mindset Benefits You

Adopting this mindset can significantly boost your performance across various aspects of life:

Confidence and Action: Embrace a winning attitude while preparing rigorously to create a synergy that drives success.
Focus and Resilience: Stay focused and adaptable, just like an underdog, to overcome challenges and seize opportunities.
Continuous Improvement: Regular self-assessment and relentless effort ensure you remain at the top of your game.

What to Do Next

Integrate the Olympic training mindset into your daily life:

In Your Career: Approach tasks with confidence, but prepare with the diligence of someone still proving themselves.
In Your Studies: Believe in your abilities, yet study hard to maintain a competitive edge.
In Personal Goals: Cultivate a winning attitude while continuously working on your skills and growth.
