It’s all in your head..

Start Acting like a 1480.

There’s a story that stays still with me: There was a guy who was failing out of high school but he promised his mother he would take a test called "The SAT". 

Well this guy takes it, he’s bombing, he’s failing out of school, he doesn’t expect anything. Well he gets a 1480 out of 1600. 

He gets the score, and his mother says: "Did you cheat?" 

And he said: " I swear to god I tried to cheat but the way the numbers were and the scantrons and the bubble you couldn’t cheat. 

Because he realizes he’s smart and he’s going into his senior year he says: "I’m gonna go to class" 

Now he starts to go to class, he doesn’t hang out with who he did when he didn’t go to class. 

He graduates, goes to a community college and becomes this massively successful magazine entrepreneur. 

Well the guy was always smart, he just needed a standardized test to unlock it? 

My dad said : "No.. That’s not the story. This is what I want you to understand." 

12 years after all this guy’s success he gets a letter in the mail. 

Turns out the SAT board, the year he took the test he was one of thirteen people, sent the wrong SAT score. His actual score was a 740 out of 1600. 

And he said: "People think my whole life changed when I got the 1480.. But my whole life changed when I started Acting like a 1480" -Trevor Moawad 

Usually, we connect with quotes or stories due to two reasons: 

• Either we’re in the process of overcoming our challenges without realizing 

• Or, we conquer them. 

It's mundane to believe in the present and projects the outcome. 

We believe that our present define our future. 

What we don't know is, everyday brings new opportunities with it. 

You're bigger than what makes you anxious. Moreover, If it doesn’t happen today, it can happen tomorrow. 

The question is do you have enough forbearance to deal with the worst? 

It's easy to dream about what you want, but in between where you are and what you want. There’s a tremendous amount of stuff you got to change and do. — Mel Robbins 

The challenge is to be persistent, especially when things get rough. 

It's impractical to believe that some day you'll get there, however that's the trick, you have to trick your mind into believing that you could, and eventually you'll get there. 

Your mind doesn't know what's good or evil, it only perceive the stuff you feed in it. 

Fill your mind with optimistic affirmations, it's the least you could do for yourself. 

The surroundings of that kid is stick to the belief that you're not sufficient and will remain an average child didn't matter how much you try, that belief simply sticks in his mind and begins to poison it and things got worse. However, one day that 1480 mindset changed everything. How? 

That's the same person from couple of years back. What changes then? What had made that person changed entirely? 

BELIEF - “You gotta believe, especially when it’s not easy”. 

That broken individual swapped into the successful entrepreneur and did stuff he never could have imagined just cause of the faith in himself. 

Just because you're not what people except you to be doesn't mean you're not good enough. 

Maybe you're awful in five things, but what about the other 95 things you do it smoothly. 

Don't let your weaknesses cloud your judgment. 

 “You're doubting yourself meanwhile people are wondering how you do it all soo effortlessly. Give yourself more credit.” -Jay Shetty 

 Sure there will be days, when it feels unfeasible to believe in oneself. 

We merely need a soul to have belief in our cause, just once and you secure enough strength to get through the odds. 

However, when you could not encounter someone, that's the moment you have to exactly look into the mirror and you'll caught one. 

 Remember you’re your strongest belief. You’re your champion. 

YOU ARE YOU and that’s your greatest strength!
