The Stockdale principle - 
What was the difference between those who made it and those who didn’t?
The optimists died first: “We’ll be out by Christmas” 😄⚰️

Those who are pushing positivism are often really negative towards negativity

It’s important to see the whole spectrum objectively. ⬅️⬅️⬅️⭕️➡️➡️➡️

The Stockdale Paradox is being able to look at the brutal facts.

We recommend to do this whether it’s in business, with ourselves, with our weight, with our programs, whatever it is.

🅾️Simply look at the brutal facts about the situation and maintain hope to be able to follow a program to be able to back yourself to be able to trust yourself to see that program through and come out the other end.

🚫It’s not about not having optimism, it Is also not ignoring the pessimistic or the worst case or the difficult side of things as well it’s really truly just looking at the brutal facts of your current situation and when you can do that objectively rather than subjectively.

⛔️As if the number on the scales actually means your self worth when it doesn’t, Or if the numbers in your business mean yourself worth.

⭕️If you can look at it objectively and understand that’s where you’re at and then continually devise a plan so you can continually move through and adjust as necessary to move towards where you want to go

📛So to clarify the Stockdale Paradox whether it be in training or in business or in relationships or in other areas of your life education whatever it maybe money is to be able to look at the brutal facts of where you’re at.

⭕️Once you can see the brutal facts as they are rather than just being optimistic about it, then you can devise a plan devised a structure choose a trajectory and maintain hope that you’re continually go down that path
