The Messy Middle

from The Pathway To Your Results Hosted by Derick Grant

We share why imagination is not childish, it is a practical tool for building real results and a stronger identity. We connect endurance, setbacks, and the messy middle to one message: the person who starts the goal cannot be the person who finishes it. • living from imagination instead of external circumstances • using a Miami Heat workout as identity practice • seeing unexpected “proof” as the universe responding • turning the mountain into a metaphor for consistency • choosing a 100 mile goal to force transformation • expecting uncertainty and dropping habits that cannot come along • refusing to negotiate when pain and distractions show up • treating obstacles as training for what you want to hold • preparing for the urge to quit when you are close • coaching through the pain cave as a mindset advantage DG Mindset Academy is here as a resource, as an avenue to help you to continue to grow.
