So today, let’s talk about the term “Presence of mind” I love this term, its very powerful.

We here it a lot with athletes. The interesting thing about presence of mind is you cant see it or predict it, but you have to have faith in it.

For example. Take a trauma surgeon. Every night the Doctor has no idea whats coming through that door, all kind of injuries for all kinds of reasons. The only thing the Doctor knows is that no matter what comes through that door, they will rise to the occasion because of presence of mind.

Here is another example. Take a person who does not know how to swim. Say he falls out of a row boat 10 feet from shore, not that far, but still he has no idea how to swim, so he’s in danger.

Now lets add one extra detail to this example. Suppose after he falls out of the row boat, he sees a couple of sharks headed his way, guess what this non swimmer is going to do ?

This non swimmer is going to become a Free style Olympic swimmer for 10 feet to reach that shore.

So the point is, we all have the power of presence of mind. Just understand, you cant activate it unless its a truly need.

Have a great day everyone.
