Today we touch on Wanting vs. Needing.
When you're doing the things you want, you're free of all pressure and expectations. You're internally motivated.
When you're doing things you need to do, you're setting yourself up for failure.
Adjusting our thinking to prioritize wants over needs is a small change that leads to major results.
Sports teams that focus on playing the game how they want to play it instead of being forced to play it how they need to are amongst the most successful in their respective sports.
