Do You Play With A Chip On Your Shoulder??? How to play from a state of purity

Do you play with a chip on your shoulder???

If so, …

I don’t recommend it.

Instead, I recommend an alternative approach.

Today, we are going to talk about what that approach is and how it can help you not only in your game, but how it can also help you as an Athlete for the Larger Game of Life.

Remove the Chip Off Your Shoulder

Growing up, I was always told I should play with a chip on my shoulder.

I was told this by:

• My coaches
• Society at large
• People all around me

And I had many chips I could have carried on my shoulders.

Growing up, I had a mysterious medical condition that kept me from growing and developing.

As a result, I was always the smallest …

And was commonly overlooked by many athletes and coaches.

At first, I used this as an opportunity to play with a chip on my shoulder.

And although it helped me to initially become more aggressive, …

I didn’t feel right inside:

• I was constantly angry
• I didn’t feel like myself
• I wasn’t playing like I knew I could

And it wasn’t until I released the chip from my shoulders …

And returned to a state of purity …

That I started to feel and perform like I knew I could.

Purity for my love of the game and …

Purity for who I was as an individual.

I started to feel free inside.

I played out of joy for the game.

As a result:

• I started to get noticed by more people
• More opportunities came my way
• I performed better than I had before

If you’ve been competing with a chip on your shoulder …

I encourage you to release that chip and return to a state of purity.

Purity for your love of the game and who you are as an individual.

Ironically, as you do this, it frees you up to perform at your highest potential.

The Same Is True in the Larger Game of Life

There will be times you get overlooked:

• A job won’t come your way
• You won’t get an opportunity you want

Rather than taking a chip on your shoulder, …

Use this as a call to return to a state of purity.

Purity for your love of your Craft and purity for who you are as an individual.

Ironically, as you do this:

• Opportunities will come your way
• People will like you more and be magnetized to you
• You will perform at your highest potential

I wish you well on your journey of releasing the chips from your shoulders and returning to a state of purity, and I send love, gratitude, peace, and blessings to you.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,
