How Does OG Randy Couture STILL Do It at Age 44?
By Paul Greenhill

Here’s the burning question that MMA critics have been asking themselves since the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 74 took place on Saturday night: how does a 44 year old man continue to
perform at such a high performance level against younger competitors?

Truth be told, I’ve often wondered about that same question at times myself, but for a different reason that most of those MMA critics. Most of those MMA critics want to know how OG (older grappler) Randy Couture continues to deliver high-caliber performances, event-after-event, when they’re all ready to notice that he’s lost a step, take the opportunity to throw an H2O (He’s Too Old!) Bomb in his direction (again) and finally proclaim the end of his career (also again)!

Have you ever had a day when nothing goes as planned? You’ve missed deadlines, the car won’t start, traffic is awful or you’re late for a presentation. You are experiencing anxiety and extremely discouraged but you continue to mask to others that all is well. Hey, we’ve all been there. When no one is there (or you prefer not to share) you must motivate yourself to go on and get through this mood. Try these three self motivating strategies to get back on track.

Failure is not what people want. People want success! I have found this to be true after delivering hundreds of presentations and speeches. Yet, if this is true, then simply speaking: Why isn’t there more success?

What obstacle or obstacles is keeping you from traveling the road to success? Again, after working with young people to established executives, I have come to realize that self esteem is sometimes the biggest obstacle to personal success, professional success and business success.

It’s easy to blame the way we were raised, or the people around us for our lack of self esteem, but consider this: maybe you’re the culprit stealing your own self-esteem. Could you be unintentionally sabotaging your own self-esteem? Ask yourself these important questions:

Do I Value Myself?
Do you take the time to take care of yourself? Are you eating right? Exercising regularly? Going to the doctor when you need to? Or are you one of those people who don’t really believe you deserve to take a Saturday off once in awhile from cleaning the house and doing things for others to pamper yourself?

You have no doubt heard or used the expression breaking down. Breaking down, means to show one’s feelings, usually sadness. It is inexplicably ironic that a natural emotion is given a negative euphemistic name

Beginning at a young age, boys are primarily valued for achievement, stoicism and heroism. Men are primarily valued for achievement, stoicism, heroism and financial success. Being valued for achievement, success, stoicism and ‘heroism’ produces arrogance and grandiosity with little inner well-being.

It is important that parents know the right way of improving self esteem in their children. Many parents, unfortunately, do not know this and so their relationship with their children suffers as a result. Their children grow into adults who have low self esteem which later affects their interpersonal relationships with other people - all because their parents did not foster their self esteem when they were children.

Parents should bear in mind that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, meaning they should prevent low self esteem from developing in their children so that when they become adults they will not have to pay for costly psychoanalysis just to solve their self esteem problem.
