The M.E.T.A預覽

Anyone ever get excited to play a bit of Warzone? 

Or, get excited to jump on and game for a bit? 

You know the feeling. 

You're warmed up. 

Your friends are online.

Your squad is ready in the lobby. 

Your gaming headset is locked and loaded. 

Your sipping on some Game fuel. 

You're feeling the energy. 

You may even tell your squad in the lobby something like, "yo, let's get this dub. I'm ready." 

Then, you jump out of the plane. 

Except, you have some super sweaty kid on your tail. 

You're just trying to land with your boys, but you're getting shot out of the sky. 

You're starting to panic.

Then, in less than 12 seconds, you're dead. 

Shot out of the sky. 

You lose your gulag. 

And, that's it. 

The game is over. 

If you're like me, your confidence is broken.

You get a little bit mad at the game. 

Then a lot mad at the game. 

But, that's the game. 

I love Warzone and hate it.

That feeling of having my confidence broken in Warzone is exactly the way I was feeling when I first started my business.

I can remember getting all hyped about my vision for the business. 

I was pumped about it. 

I was imagining hundreds of clients. 

It was all looking so magical. 

Until I had to start pitching clients.

I can remember pitching prospective clients and hearing them say no. 

Those no's were confidence killers. 

They melted me. 

Every bit of courage was dissolved.

I felt worthless and ashamed. 

It felt like I was getting shot out of the sky. 

Except, this was real life. I couldn't just play another game. 

This is the game I was dealt with. 

I had to come up with something. 

I needed to learn to adapt.

I needed wisdom from mentors. 

I needed a better game plan. 

I needed my confidence back. 

I needed THE M.E.T.A 

In this situation, what are the MOST EFFECTIVE TACTICS AVAILABLE? 

In other words, what does the good book say I should do? 

Before I reference a bunch of scriptures, let me be super practical about what has helped me. 

I can remember a few days where I was so discouraged, all I could do was lay in bed. 

I had zero energy. 

Even worse, I felt like I had no hope.

I felt utterly destroyed. 

I knew I couldn't lay there forever, but it was like, my body needed rest. 

I would even say, my mind needed rest. 

And, that's exactly what I did. 

I put on a few peaceful songs I like, and just laid and listened. 

The songs played over, and over, and over. 

It felt like all the bad vibes were melting away.

Later that night, I made sure to get to bed early. 

I wanted my mind and body to get some good rest. 

Lots of breathing. 

Lots of resting. 

Lots of peaceful music around me.

Then, when I was rested, I dug into THE M.E.T.A for my situation. 

- Step 1: Search for it. If you lack confidence and need courage, search for it. Either in Google or here. 

- Step 2: Speak it. After you have discovered The M.E.T.A scriptures for your life. Speak them out loud. Replace the words to make it your own. 

- Step 3: Believe it. As a man thinketh so he is. Proverbs 23:7

Believe, believe, believe. 

Step 3 may seem like it's easy. 

But, it's not. 

It's hard. 

Like, really hard. 

If you're like me, you're probably not good at believing. 

You may think, "it's not for me, it's for other people."

That sounds too easy. 

And, you're right. It is incredibly hard. 

It takes a ton of practice. 

It takes faith. 

It takes risk. 

It takes a change of thinking. 

It takes EVERYTHING you are, to become EVERYTHING you're not. 

I'm believing in you. 

The Meta is there for you. 

You're not alone. 

You can do it. 

You can make it. 

Victory is yours. 

Take a breath. 

You got this! 

Love you - Anthony
