What are the main things you focus on in life? Is it Faith, Family or Football?
Do you sometimes feel as if something is keeping you from focusing on the important aspects of life? If so, then you are lacking SPARQ mentality. In the sports world, SPARQ is an acronym for Speed, Power, Acceleration, Reaction and Quickness. By increasing your SPARQ rating, it will lead to increases in personal growth and athleticism. In addition to the physical benefits, there are other benefits as well.
Most people search for the physical solutions when personal growth momentum has stopped or slowed down, but we will explore commandments that builds an “All SPARQ” that constantly allows the mind, body, and spirit to operate at its greatest level. Here are some of the components to unlocking your SPARQ:
Knowing you are “The One”
Building your SPARQ rating, in all senses, starts with knowing that what lies within you is the key to your success in life. It is impossible to grow without a commandment that builds a sense of self. Increase your ratings by focusing on determining factors (actual circumstances inside of you that you can control) versus contributing factors (deception/circumstances outside of you that you cannot control).
Focus on Solutions and not Excuses
"Excuses are monuments of nothingness, they build bridges to nowhere, those of us who use these tools of incompetence, seldom become anything but nothing at all"- (Vernon Brundage Jr). Be aware of these common tools that are in every loser’s program:
Sick
Broke
Mis-informed
Fearful
“Solutions are monuments of existence, they build bridges to somewhere, those of us who use these tools of competence, always become someone” – Magic). The following tools are in every winner's program:
Wellness
Abundance
Truth /Facts/Honesty
Confidence/Boldness
Appreciate Opportunities
“Anything lost can be found again, except for time wasted, A vision without action is merely a dream”- (Kevin Gates). Not appreciating opportunities comes from a sense of entitlement and a lack of awareness of how time works. Having time is not guaranteed and the following, list of information will address this lack of appreciation for something so critical to LIFE:
Be aware of the path of least resistance
Consider the long-term consequences (good and bad) “Short-term gain, leads to long-term pain”
Understand the importance of “SACRIFICE” – giving something up of low value for something high in value
Do what is Right before what is Easy – “Dinner before Dessert”
Good habits are difficult, but easy to live with, while bad habits are easy and hard to live with.
Whether you're just starting a journey, in the midst of your career, or looking ahead to retirement, having a SPARQ is critical for living. It does not only propel you toward victory on the field, but also supports a healthy and fulfilling life beyond any arena. Remember, an “All SPARQ” requires a combination of the mind, body, & spirit working together based on commandments that lead to constant personal growth momentum.
