You must have a goal or a vision in mind if you are to achieve anything in life. Mental enables you to set the stage for "TXE." Mental allows you to dream big dreams, and create a plan of action to get you in the mindset to move forward. If you can conceive it, it can be achieved.

Mental is the basis for all creativity, genus, and "Ah Haw’s" that you have. If this part of the formula is not allowed to correctly develop, it will affect the rest of the formula and will and cause an imbalance which will result in wishful thinking. Faulty thinking, or "stinky thinking", will also corrupt your plans and short circuit any efforts to achieve

The "M" in MTXE stand for Mental. This is the part where your dreams are.

The “T” represents toughness. This type of toughness does not deal with how strong you are, but rather your derminations to complete a task. Not letting yourself be sidetracked by issues un-related to the goals you set during the Mental section of the formula. Toughness speaks to the abilty to stay on task until the job is completed, or the goal has been aquired.

Toughness means “I will do whatever it takes to reach my destination.” This type of toughtness calls for sacrifice. Denying oneself for the greater good of achievement. Are the ends, jusitified by the means? Toughness answers that questions with a strong and convincing Yes. The “T” in toughness can also be discribed as a tanasiy and a resiliance to failure. accepting nothing less than a 100% effort when attempting to reach a goal. The proper comination of Mental and Toughness, creates the basis for the formula for success. Dream big and be willing to work to make that dream a reality.

“Strong souls have willpower, weak ones only desires.”

The “X” stands for eXtreme. Extreme should be viewed as the doing of the unusual to achive extraordinary results. This type of effort is not utilzed in everyday life. It is a higher level of determination created by the goals you set during the Mental part of the formula. Embracing the “X” factor will cause you to come out of your comfort zone, or out of your “box,” to try a new method in an eXtreme situation. You must have the courage to commit to the goals you set, while maintaining the courage to try and the tenacity not to give up if you are to succeed. Being able to incorporate these three components will bring you one step closer to being successful.

"Take your adversities and turn them into advantages”

The “E” stands for Effort. Effort is the driving force to the rest of the formula. Without effort, this formula is unbalanced. You will go no where and experience unavoidable failure. Effort, as the old folks say, is the elbow grease to finishing the equation. A strong and sustained effort will yield great results. Effort helps Mental create the vision. Effort aslo allows you to be eXtreme by not allowing you to give up if some of your eXtreme attempts come up short. Effort drives this whole formula. Without Effort, all you have is a nice dream with some half-hearted attempts at achievement. With Effort, your attempts will have significance and your Mental, your Toughness, and your eXtreme, will all work together to allow you to achieve your goals.

Effort can be thought of as the sweetener to your tea. When you have enough sweetener in your tea, all the work you did to make that tea is rewarded and you are satisfied. Even if the tea is not as sweet as you would like it, it is also not as bitter as it would be without sweetener at all. Consequently, even if you fall short of your ultimate goal, you still can take satisfaction in knowing that you are a better person for having taken the journey, then if you had not taken the journey at all.

“One can not strive for excellence with inferior effort!”
