Those of you who know me well will know that I don’t mind a punt. In fact my cousin got married on Saturday night at Star City so I thought I’d try my luck on the tables downstairs before and after.
Let’s just say I didn’t clean out the casino but I did better on blackjack then roulette…
Anyway this quote is perfect for you whether you like to gamble or not.
One of the best autobiographies I’ve ever read was Andre Agassi’s Open. It had me hooked all the way through. It’s a really honest insight into the mind of a tennis champion – warts and all.
The quote that struck a cord with me most was when Andre met his coach Brad Gilbert for the first time and Brad was picking apart Andre’s game.
“It’s all about odds and percentages… The house always wins right? Why? Because the odds are stacked in the house’s favour. So? Be the house! Get the odds in your favour”.
Now you might be scratching your head thinking what on earth has this got to do with my weight loss success or keeping on track with your healthy meals.
But let me tell you it has everything to do with it.
You have to be the house. Think like the house.
Get the odds for your goal achievement in your favour.
That means you have to think like a winner.
It means you need the motivation to get out of bed every morning certain in knowing that the steps you are putting in place are the right ones to ensure your success.
It means that you are always going to be on track and that you’re always going to be ahead.
Sure, you might cop a couple of losses on the way like if you slip and go out on a binge on the weekend. That’s where my 3 Day Detox Diet will suit you perfectly.
It’s just like when a punter strikes it big – the casino takes a little hit. But in the long run the house always wins and so will you providing you get back on the horse and ride it into the sunset.
What do you think of that little analogy? On the money (pardon the pun)?
