Inner truth: Two Super Ideas

I learned a lot on my first 2014 tour. Here are a couple of ideas to ponder:
1) The nature of the goals you set is hugely important. Goals based on looking better than others deliver less motivation and persistence than goals based on trying to improve your performance. So set “mastery goals” not “ego goals”.

2) Your belief about your potential determines whether you’ll express your potential…we always behave in a way consistent with our self-identity. What we think about our potential determines whether we take steps to fully express it.
