Mental Law of Success
That of which we can conceive of, believe in, and confidently expect of yourself must become your experience. The inside of your head determines the outside of your life. Our thoughts and feelings attract our life experiences to us. The way we look at the world is the way the people of the world look back at us. You are how you think. If we think positive thoughts, we will have a positive life. If we think negative thoughts, we will have a negative life. If we are critical of ourselves and other people, we will attract criticism. If we say something negative about someone else it will come back to haunt us. Garbage in - garbage out. Greatness in - greatness out. We are right now where our mind has been in the past. By managing our mind we can change its effect. If you think something won't work, it won't. You cannot do something that you do not believe you can do. Your thoughts and beliefs control your life. What you think and believe is what you will get out of life. Whether you think you can or you can't -- you are correct. Understand that your thoughts must be backed up by physical action in order to succeed. This is the physical law of success. Control your mind add physical action and you will control your success. This is commonly called "mental toughness". Mental toughness allows you to keep focused and not be distracted by outside influences that may take you off course. You have control over the way you think. The way you think will control your destiny. If you perform "stinkin-thinkin" you will be "stinkin". If you choose to think like a "champion", you will become a "champion". It is truly up to you. Your thoughts control your destiny and you control your thoughts. Positive thinking is the hope that you can move mountains. Positive believing is the same hope but with a reason for believing you can do it. Think great thoughts and believe that you can do it.

About the Book
It is often said that 80% of what happens to us in life is based upon how we think. Initially, I wrote this as a letter to read to our children when they graduated from high school.
I thought of this book as I was driving down the road, taking our children from practice to practice and game to game. After we got past "how was your day?" There were many times with periods of awkward silence. Neither one of us knew what to talk about. This was a very difficult time for me. I am used to speaking in front of large crowds, but at this point I did not know what to say to my 10 year-old son. What was wrong with me? I felt foolish. So I stepped back, and analyzed my life and the lives of the successful people around me. I decided to teach my children about the things that it took me 40+ years of listening to my family, friends, mentors, taking seminars, reading books, listening to the tapes/CD’s, etc. to learn to achieve success and happiness. There are hundreds of self help books, CD’s, DVD’s and seminars for adults. Why not teach this to kids and young adults? So I started talking to our children about positive life experiences and ways to lead a positive, happy, successful, productive life. This is what this book is about, helping us to understand the game of life. I wanted our children to have a reference when struggling with the game of life and this book was the result of those efforts. This is a reference book that we can use again and again throughout our life.
Together we can change the world by recognizing one positive experience at a time.

People must be mentally strong to reject the distractions that impede our success. Thus the name of this book: Mental Toughness: Understanding the game of life.
