Your next big comeback - when is it?

Muhammad Ali was a 3 time heavyweight champion of the world. (Won, lost and regained it, on 3 separate occasions)

His immortal words... "I shook up the world."... was a result of confounding the world.

And make NO mistake about it - each time he reclaimed the biggest prize in sport, there were huge numbers of respected an non respected others, who thought Ali would never lift the crown fighting the opponents he did. (His first World championship win was in 1964, when he was only 22 years old the 3rd time in 1978)

What was being said about him?

"He's too young, he's too cocky, he's all lip, he's not got the punching power, he's not got the stamina, he's not got the body, he's too old, his reflexes aren't as sharp..."

Many were writing his professional obituary long before any bout took place.

Only one problem - THEY... were not Ali.

They were not his mind. There were not his belief system. They were not his ambition. They were not his skillset. They were not his courage. They were not his fired up soul that was lit up like a Christmas tree that couldn't be unplugged. They were NOT him.

He made and created his own comebacks, based first on his own internal desire. THAT was paramount. And then, went to work in creating the desired outcomes he wanted.

Ali is a perfect example for us all, no matter who we are or where we want our success to happen.

Comebacks can happen for us all.

But just like for Ali, there's danger lurking, from both inside your own inner circle, and, from those known to you outside of it.

And you might not notice it and you might not really know it's going on but believe me, it's going on, one way or another.

And, don't be alarmed or upset because it could be from someone intimately close to you.

Because yes...

Someone is giving you the sleight of mind language, or the poison arrows of doubt, or those unapproving glances and murmurs. Someone (or many someone's) inside and out, are telling you openly or secretly wishing it, that your venture or your business idea is going to flop, that it's going to ruin you, that it's going to waste inordinate amounts of time and money, that you don't know what you're doing, that you should stick to one path and not venture into anything new...

All of that can wobble you and trouble you if your mind isn't right and if you've no ready strategy to deal with it.

Or, you can triumph over it like Ali did in his own way to silence the naysayers and critics who were intent in diving into his life, uninvited of course, telling him he's going to fail and that he better pack up and go choose something else to do.

He listened, yet it fuelled and energised him to have him find HIS way to make a startling and stunning comeback, over and over again.

What precipice are you currently on that you're pondering and churning over that possibly, could be a major defining moment in your life?

And, with that opportunity, what kind of impact and wallop do you want to make, whether this is your next, or newest, comeback?

Unless you're aware and prepared, you'll slowly get poisoned and will soon find that you've clubbed together with the naysayers and have bought in to their doubts and weakness and the lack of courage they have for you.

Plan, create, strategise and use your inner burning desire to bring all you've got to all that you're working on.

BE... the 3 time victory Champ (or more) of YOUR world.

And remember - they (the naysayers and criticisers) are NOT you. You, are built of better stuff.
