Mindset Monday
I used to dread Mondays. They felt heavy. But a few years ago, I came across a meme that changed how I looked at them:
“Sharks wake up early, bite things, swim fast, and remind everyone they’re a shark.”
It reminded me of a Chinese proverb that I’ve carried with me since:
“All things are difficult before they are easy.”
The truth is, the hard work always comes first. That’s what makes the outcome worthwhile. Whether it’s extra wall ball reps, finishing a run, or showing up early — you’ve got to bite into the hard stuff before it ever feels easy. That’s what makes you a shark.
Journaling Prompt for This Week
- What’s one thing that feels hard for you every day?(Could be running, staying consistent with stickwork, schoolwork, or even getting enough sleep.)
- Now, visualize your “shark” moment — how will that hard thing become fun once you’ve mastered it? Is it being able to outrun your competition in the 4th quarter? Is it nailing a behind-the-back pass because of all the extra reps? Is it having more confidence because you did the work nobody else wanted to do?
Write it down. Be specific. Your shark moment is what keeps you swimming forward when it’s hard. It builds confidence in yourself and your abilities. Take this prompt seriously and watch your mindset change!!!
