You can be as motivated and purposeful as you want, but with no strategy to match, you're lost...Most people want to accomplish big dreams and goals, but move like they're playing checkers....this is a game of chess. You have to be calculated, and in this episode of the Killer Instinct Bloodline series, I break down this mindset.

Everyone wants to have that "Killer Instinct"....but what does this mean, and how do you know if you have it? Over the next 11 episodes, I will be breaking down what I call the Killer Instinct "Bloodline", which are the 11 qualities and traits that define the Killer Instinct mindset. My goal is to challenge you to embody these qualities, and work to build them with focus and intensity. This is how your results will change....through taking on a completely different mindset.

Soft people love to avoid reality. This means anything that shows, with clarity, what the truth is, will be promptly ignored. Scales, bank accounts, the stat sheets, test scores... it's why bad students never know what their GPA is. Is this you? Let's put that to an end today. #GetYaMindRight

In the first installment of the "Don't be Soft" series, we break down the mindset I see in so many people, especially those with very little results. They love to talk about how hard things are, almost to give themselves an explanation for their incompetence. Don't let this be you. #GetYaMindRight

Most are slaves to vices, bad habits and other's opinions. Not you and me... we are in control. We have complete freedom. Condition this belief with #MentalReps!

You will always be battling with the voice in your head, telling you you're doing awesome. Fight it. Don't take the bait. Keep pushing yourself, exposing yourself to pain, and pushing past limits. This is how you grow. #GetYaMindRight

Russell Westbrook is one of the few athletes that goes all out, every game, every play. He's a mental beast, outside of his physical talents. And he's also been blessed with the talent to "not g-a-f"... but what if this talent is something you could adopt? What if it's really a skill? Listen on how you can have that same mindset. #GetYaMindRight

Most people dramatically overestimate the difficulty of what they are going through. Basically, they are soft. The challenge is for you to downplay it, and take on a tougher mentality. Just like Rico from Paid in Full. #GetYaMindRight

Being patient is overrated. Most people are moving entirely too slow. Once your plan is established, MOVE... with speed, and power. Separate yourself from the lazy, overthinking, underperforming sloths. #GetYaMindRight

Mental Reps is about deciding what to believe, and then aggressively conditioning these beliefs. We decided to bless you with a complication of all the best mental reps tracks to date, and blend them into one, non stop, hard hitting mental conditioning tool. Listen to this in the gym, in the AM, or anytime you want to infuse yourself with next level belief. #MentalReps

Not all opinions are created equal...so while it's impossible to totally "not care" what people say, it is possible to value your OWN opinion first. #GetYaMindRight

The closer you get to your goal, the more practical, detail-oriented and difficult things become... and you must be prepared for this. Don't be surprised, embrace the challenge. This is why most don't get what they want...and it's why you will. #GetYaMindRight

If you want to be in a position where you come from the bottom to the top, just like New England's wide receiver, Julian Edelman, you need to borrow his mindset. To Edelman, the recipe to dominate and win multiple rings isn't just to dream about the results. It's different.... In this episode, listen as I break down his recipe. #GetYaMindRight

You're going to die soon...you know that right? So instead of procrastinating today, think about what you want your legacy to be. #GetYaMindRight

Did anyone watch the Grammys last night? Hip-hop is changing man... It’s diversifying with new artists and different sounds. Since I got mad love for the genre, I got a question for y’all, “Why so much hate for the new artists?” There’s a reason why rappers like Lil Yachty star in Sprite commercials and top iTunes charts… Listen, no matter how much shade you throw certain artists, they’re gonna keep doing them. And THAT, is how YOU should DO YOU! Don’t let anyone try to knock you off your path. You got the juice, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Shoutout to Lil Yachty! #LilBoat

Let everyone else ride the rollercoaster of life - throwing up all over themselves... screaming and kicking the whole way. You and I must be poised and balanced... and the only way to do that is to expect highs and lows, and stay rooted in the present moment. This is what it means to be mentally tough, with a "Kobe Mindset". #GetYaMindRight

You will have a sweet, soothing voice telling you to quit, to stop, and to take days off....don't listen to it. We all have an inner devil, whose job it is to get us to quit, and settle for safety and security. We have to ignore this voice, and to do what must be done. #GetYaMindRight

"Difficult" is all relative. Create a new standard of what's difficult to you by telling yourself its EASY. Cause it is. #MentalReps

This bar from J Cole hit me so hard, I had to give it a life of its own on this #MentalReps episode. Check it out!
