Attitude-Game Changer

Did you watch the Super Bowl?  The Ravens putting the Niner's away! I am not a fan of either and had no skin in the game. But it was amazing to watch. Think about it, in the first half the Ravens were running away from the Niner's. Seems like every time they touched the ball they would march down the field and score. It was crazy easy in the first half.
Then came half time, all football fans know its about adjustments. The first couple minutes often time gives you an idea of the outcome. So the Niners were hoping to kick off and let the defense take care of business. The defense never made it to the field. When they kicked off the receiving Raven returned the Kickoff for a Touchdown.  How drained were the Niners. Then something unscripted happened. There was a power outage. And when the lights came on they were like a different team.
They looked fresh and scored Touchdowns on the next two positions.
What changed?  How did they turn on the power, and transform their energy when they should have been defeated?
It is simple, they changed their Attitude!
They believed they could do it! They remembered all the preparation, the hundreds of times they ran the plays, and they just willed it.
They turned a beat down into a classic and excited millions of people just by having the right attitude. So my question is how did they flip the switch?
Is that something you can do?
Think about your week, it's Friday and your behind and your boss just dumped more work on you with a short dead line, are you defeated.
Here is what I know to be true-if you think your defeated-you are, and if you think your not, your not. You will never win until you see yourself as a winner!
What do I do till then-"Act as if" your already there. Having the right attitude is not always easy. But by resisting, the tasks will continue to persist. We actually make them seem worse than they are in our mind.
