What is your "tennis ball" in life?
Dogs knock over children and plow under bushes to capture tennis balls.
All you need to do is pretend to throw one and they’re off.
Everything disappears when dogs see tennis balls.
What can we learn from our friendly canines?
They know what brings themselves joy (a.k.a. tennis balls).
They are singularly focused on that thing / activity that brings them joy.
Wouldn't it be nice to find your "tennis ball" in life?
4 ways to find your tennis ball:
1 - Tennis balls connect to strengths. Work isn’t work when you’re chasing your tennis ball.
2 - Tennis balls hide behind anger or frustration. Listen to anger. It tells you what matters.
3 - Tennis balls appear when you eliminate distractions.
4 - Tennis balls emerge when you start doing things.
3 benefits of finding your tennis ball:
* Freedom *
* Energy *
* Persistence *
The more you’re "pushing", the less you’re doing what you love.
Remember, when you are doing something you love, it draws you towards it.
It's an undeniable "pull".
It's the thing you keep finding your mind getting pulled back to when your mind starts to wander.
“It’s not just about pushing yourself. It’s about finding your tennis ball.” - Drew Houston, Co-founder and CEO of Dropbox.
