Now I’m not much of a UFC fan but I have plenty of friends who are and their latest conversation was all about the fight between Jose Aldo & Conor McGregor. Apparently the scale of the match was similar to the Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao fight. Aldo being the undefeated champion and McGregor the challenger.
The intriguing thing about the fight was not that it was over in the record time of 13 seconds, but how accurately the winner, McGregor had predicted the outcome.
What’s even more amazing is McGregors uncanny ability to accurately predict the outcome of his other fights and his future.
Three things that are evident to me about Conor McGregor
- Visualize
McGregor is able to visualize with such clarity, to do this would take some intense focus. He is not only able to pick the round he will win but also how the fight will play out and exactly how he will win the fight.
- Deep Belief
McGregor is fully convinced that the fight will play out exactly how he has seen it in his mind. There is no persuading or convincing him otherwise. It is deeply rooted in his heart that it will happen that way.
- Declaration
As he has seen it and has believed it deep in his heart he then declares it out of his mouth. He doesn’t mince his words, he speaks it exactly as he sees it. You can feel the conviction of his words, there is not an ounce of doubt. By speaking it out he gives life to his vision and puts into motion everything around him to make it happen.
This in fact is a universal law in action.
It’s amazing what can be achieved simply by seeing, believing and declaring.
Let me encourage you today to begin declaring the vision that is in your heart, believe it, even if no one else does. Then take action to make it happen.
