Have you ever wondered how a world champion and the winner of the most grueling endurance race in the world thinks? When I first heard Leah Goldstein speak, it was the adversity, obstacles, losses and setbacks she overcame that had me spell bound in awe. Actually it was her brain and the way she thought that fascinated me because what would have devastatingly knocked most of us out of the ring in our life, business, or sports got her back on the saddle inevitably, of course, to a win!
As she said in the interview we had, “the mind is so much stronger and more powerful than the body”, so how are you training yours for the win and success you are seeking as an entrepreneur or leader? Actually and not surprisingly, Leah’s winning track record is a synergistic combination of how she thinks and taking action. She takes a lot of action and you will hear her say stop talking about it and start taking action.
When her opponents in kick boxing set her up against logically impossible competitors, she won. In the moment she lay in a hospital bed after one of the worst cycling crashes ever to be survived and the doctors told her she would not get back on her bike, she did and won. When no woman had been a part of the Israeli secret military service yet and they wanted to prove she could not and should not be there, she became the first woman and opened the doors to other women ever since.
It is Leah Goldstein’s way of being that makes her a champion. As you listen in you will hear she is anything but normal, she is excitingly abnormal in the way she thinks, acts, and is with her ‘No Limits’ mindset.
No Limits Thinking with Leah Goldstein Episode 013
Peak Performance with our Mind
Our thoughts have energy and what Leah has demonstrated to us here is they have an energy of what is possible, but her thinking goes to an extraordinary level of unlimited possibilities. There are no limits, but those that we think. What if you took the chains off what you have been told is possible or what you think you can do to broaden your vision to the beautiful horizon of being and having no limits?
Leah, as she joked for her 50th birthday mid life crisis, is coming out of retirement because she not only wanted to win Race Across America, but she has unfinished business in holding the world record. No competitors are even looking at her because of her age. Age is a limit society puts on us and we sometimes accept, but not Leah.
Our performance is directly related to the way we think, what we think, and the limits of our thinking. Peak performance in our business, health, and life includes the beliefs we have about ourselves and what is possible for us. We can change our thoughts and create new beliefs that will take us to peak performance.
Create the thoughts and beliefs of a champion daily with the discipline and commitment of an athlete. When you do this, the bold, positive life affirming thinking will lead to action and the two together, with some bumps along the way, will lead to your championship win, just like Leah.
