#537 How to Stop Needing to Win to Feel Worthy-----Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTIONFree Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLYEvery habit you do is a vote for who you want to be, whether or not it gets you the result. I'll show you which habits are worth voting for.Think about the biggest win of your life: The promotion. The deal. The title you finally got.Now ask yourself: who are you without it?Most high-achieving men never actually answer that. They just keep winning (or trying to) and assume the question will answer itself eventually. It won't. In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” we talk about the difference between self-worth that depends on your last result and self-worth that doesn't, and why most men never know which one they're running on until they lose.You'll hear what happened in the final seconds of the biggest match of my wrestling career, and the one thing that had to be true for me to win it. It's the same thing that has to be true for you before your next big moment, whatever that looks like in your world.Then I get into four things that build self-worth strong enough to survive a bad year: your values, the people around you, the habits you execute whether or not they work, and having a plan even before you've hit the goal.This isn't about caring less about winning. It's about not needing the win to know you're enough.Go into this episode thinking about your last big win, and whether your confidence would survive losing it. Then go answer the question waiting for you at jimharshawjr.com/question.If you don’t have time to listen to the entire episode or if you hear something that you like but don’t have time to write it down, be sure to grab your free copy of the Action Plan from this episode— as well as get access to action plans from EVERY episode— at http://www.JimHarshawJr.com/Action.
