SynopsisContrary to popular belief, the greatest achievements are not the result of being born into success; nor does success and living a good life, come from luck. Success in anything typically comes from a steady yet calm approach to living a life by design once that person has made the decision to pursue a goal or vision of the future. The decision to pursue something, and then living by de-sign in order to achieve it, is the beginning of change, and ultimately, transformation. The greatest achievements of top performers result from their ability to control the focus and direction of their attention on what they want. This is as true for NFL quarterbacks and lawyers as it is for actors and opera singers. Top performers execute complex activities with only a judicious amount of emotional stimulation. When compared to ordinary performers, top-performers are more resilient, self-assertive, self-confident, audacious, self-assured, and less inhibited, which make them bolder and more composed. Because they know what they want, they have a greater ability to focus on the steps and actions they need to take to pursue their goal or vision.Top performers learn how to use their minds to get what they want. They use visualization to center themselves-becoming calm and present-and break free of self-limiting beliefs. Top performers focus on one thing at a time, and are able to tune out distractions. They use visualization to rehearse upcoming events, improve their performance, respond to unforeseen events and unexpected challenges, and quickly adjust when they make errors. They have developed psychological skills that enable them to master high levels of tension and anxiety, and have learned to overcome the obstacles of fear, self-doubt, and insecurity that interfere with taking action and top performance. Living by Design is a practical guide of effective strategies and concepts that will help you develop new skills and talents aimed at achieving what you want. These strategies and concepts will help you become more authentic, and in a spiritual sense, live your life as it was designed to be lived.
