Now 7-3!!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>   Chicago Bears Win!!! Now<\/strong><strong> 7-3 for this season!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unbelievable, who\u2019d a thought?<\/p>\n<p>As a Bears fan, none of us would\u2019ve believed it  if you told us after the first few games, that the Bears would win 5 straight games!!! But they have done it.<\/p>\n<p>What changed? Not the QB or most of the regular starters, they\u2019re the same guys in there week in and week out. The coaching staff has the same people on it too. The game is the same too. Now their opponents do change, and some are better than others, but they\u2019ve played and beaten some pretty decent teams.<\/p>\n<p>I think what changed was their <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/blog\/category\/mindset\/\">mindset<\/a>. Their strategy on how to execute plays. And their determination to get things done!! When you make your mind up that enough is enough with the way things are\u2026loosing, and get focused on what needs to change, it\u2019s amazing what can happen. <\/p>\n<p>Wow, the players, all of them improved!! It seems to me that week after week some of the guys play their hearts out, while others just show up. But there was a definite change of heart this week, they all played their hearts out! <\/p>\n<p>I also noticed Cutler changed what he was doing. He wasn\u2019t staying \u201cin the pocket\u201d trying to wait for someone to get open. He\u2019d run outside the pocket away from the pile of players where he could see better, so he could throw more accurately. It worked!! There were plenty of other things the Bears improved on, which made it a great game for us Bears fans!!!<\/p>\n<p>How many times do we go through life using the same thought process, the same strategy and the same half-hearted attitude to get things done? And our results are\u2026loosing-they are way below what we want or need!!<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s time to CHANGE. You know the old saying\u2026\u201dDoing the same things over and over again, but expecting different results, is the definition of insanity\u201d I always hated when someone would say that to me because, <em>I thought I was changing<\/em>, doing different things. <\/p>\n<p>But\u2026 I was faking myself out!! I had to get real with myself. Push myself to do the things that I needed to do even though I was uncomfortable with them. When I say uncomfortable, I don\u2019t mean the feeling we get when something goes against our core values. No, I mean when you get that feeling that someone\u2019s \u201crubbing you the wrong way\u201d. It may be that they are challenging our beliefs, but sometimes even our beliefs need to be challenged. Our beliefs, left unexamined can stop us from being who we really want to be.<\/p>\n<p>How is your mindset? Are you playing <em>at<\/em> the game of life, or are you committed whole-heatedly and living life the way you want? Are you creating <em>insanity<\/em> by doing the same things over and over and getting lousy results? Now\u2019s the time to do some searching, some changing.<\/p>\n<p>The way to get a healthy mindset and mental attitude is to read materials written by people who have made changes in themselves. People like: <\/p>\n<p>-Jim Rohn \u201cDiscipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>-Tony Robbins \u201cIn essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our   consistent actions. It\u2019s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few people who have written things about life, success and a healthy mental outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Are you living life the way you want? Or have you settled for less? Do your beliefs about your income or time you spend making a living need to be challenged? If so and if you dare get uncomfortable enough to seek out a different strategy, then <\/p>\n<p>-Cathe Holley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Bears Win!!!
