The ABCs for Improving Your Inside Game

To be successful in sports, you have to develop skills for all aspects of a game. In golf, you drive the ball off a tee, while also putting just a few feet. In basketball, you have the perimeter game at the 3-point line and you can also score by being aggressive "in the paint." Football teams try to grind it out "in the trenches" while also airing it out down the field with long passes.

To be successful in life, we need a good outside game as well as a good inside game. The outside game is the one other people see. The inside game is the one known only to you. The inside game - the inner you - is more important. Here are three key qualities of your inside game.

A - Attitude. Your attitude about circumstances, about challenges and about life in general says a lot about how successful you will be. Are you easily defeated or do you bounce back? Do you tend to complain, or keep pressing on? When times are tough, check your attitude. Is it helping or hurting you?

B - Beliefs. What you believe about yourself and about life in general will determine how your proceed in your outer world. Are people generally good or out to rip you off? Do you believe you have every opportunity to succeed or is the deck stacked against you? Are you driving life or just being taken along for the ride?

C - Commitment. This is where beliefs and attitude turn into action. Commitment says you will do whatever it takes. You will keep pressing on. You will not take "no" for an answer, at least not right away. You're committed to your cause or your calling. 

The good news is that each one of these "inside game" skills can be developed. You're not hopelessly stuck with a bad attitude or faulty beliefs. You can renew your commitments and resolve anew that life will be different.
