ROAR: How to Stay Hopeful and Confident Through Challenges
Lessons from the Tiger’s Eye on Motivation and Mental Strength
Hey TAH Team,
Have you been knocked down a time or two this year already? It seems like the higher the highs, the lower the lows, doesn’t it?
Somehow, life always seems to balance the good with the bad. Let’s learn how to navigate that right now…
Week Theme:
Ways to Stay Hopeful And Perform Confidently When Nothing Goes Your Way
Weekly Info:
Think back… how hard has it been?
Sometimes, it’s not just about getting knocked down, it feels like we’re being held down.
But as the famous Katy Perry says:
"You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough.
I see it all, I see it now.
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter... ROAR."
What does this mean for us?
Even when things don’t go our way, hope allows us to keep going. It’s that glimmer in the tiger’s eye… the belief that we’ve had enough and it’s time to rise.
This week, our guest Eric Dagati shared how he’s survived and flourished in personal training and coaching, leaving us with valuable lessons.
We also explored five tips tricks and tools in this week's deep dive: Resilience Through Challenges: Staying Hopeful.
Exclusive Trick: ROAR
Rise. Over. All. Responses.
Staying hopeful means choosing to rise above our circumstances, just like the eye of the tiger.
Exclusive Action Tools: Eye of The Tiger.
Pain Over Pleasure: A tiger is more motivated to keep hunting to avoid the pain of hunger than for the pleasure of being full. We can use our struggles as fuel to keep moving forward.
Family to Feed: The tiger hunts not just for itself but for its pride. Our performance isn’t just about us, it’s about the people who rely on our commitment and effort.
“Full”fillment: The tiger hunts with the hope of being full at the end of the feast. We can stay hopeful by focusing on the fulfillment that comes from staying committed to our goals.
Closing:
This week's tricks and tools might be more abstract, but when we think about the eye of the tiger in relation to hope, we gain a clearer understanding of where our drive comes from.
No matter how many times we get knocked down, or even held down, we always have the choice to rise. When we’ve had enough, when we can see it all, we find the hope to move forward with confidence.
ROAR,
Gabe
