Every game in life is actually played on a 6-inch ground, the space between your two ears

 

Martina Navratilova, the tennis legend, was once asked by a journalist,

“How do you maintain your focus, physique and sharp game even at the age of 43?”

She gave a humble reply,

“The ball does not know how old I am.” and she further says:

"You need to stop yourself from stopping yourself. Every game in life is actually played on a 6-inch ground, the space between your two ears. We don’t live in bungalows, duplexes or flats. We live in our mind which is an unlimited area. We keep on talking and thinking thoughts that are negative that affects our entire lives. Just like a bee that keeps on buzzing the whole day, we too keep on buzzing unwanted thoughts in our heads 24×7. Life is great when things are sorted out and uncluttered there."

The way you talk to yourself creates your reality.
Of course, we all know the fundamental lesson here but in the spirit of restating the good stuff, sharing this post.

Ending this post with a quote from Venus Williams, another Tennis legend:

"Tennis is mostly mental. You win or lose the match before you even go out there."

Have a great week ahead.
