“The past isn't predic­tive. If you can absorb and embrace that belief, everything changes. You'll instantly feel more calm. And the athlete-or employee or parent or spouse-who's more calm is also more aware, and more times than not ... will win.”

― Trevor Moawad, It Takes What It Takes: How to Think Neutrally and Gain Control of Your Life

I. Moving Beyond the Surface

  • It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn.

  • Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today.

  • Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday.

  • Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

II. Life Is a Series of Trade-Offs

The way we live out our days is the way we will live our lives. What are we willing to trade-off to achieve our goals?

  • Being busy for protecting time.

  • Parties for intimate gatherings.

  • Soul extortion for soul searching.

  • Nights out for knowledge seeking.

  • Meaningless work for my passion.

  • Living for others for living my life.

  • Chasing money for chasing purpose.

III. It Takes What It Takes

We remember the life, incredible impact, and legacy of renowned mental conditioning coach Trevor Moawad. May his game-changing wisdom live on by how we lead and love.

  • Negativity affects you negatively 100% of the time.

  • Champions lead themselves before they lead others.

  • The first step to getting out of the hole is to stop digging.

  • Too many people say 'I am what I am.' That is a statement of surrender.

  • Average is a choice. Greatness is a choice. There is no magic. Only decisions.
