Ownership means taking responsibility for your actions and the consequences of those actions.

What taking responsibility will do for you, in the long run, is being able to:

evaluate your skill accurately

notice mistakes and habits that hold you back

Without accountability, there is no self-awareness and real self-confidence.

It is essentially one of the first steps in creating your own life and mastering skills you desire to improve.

Basically where you will go in life is mostly depending on deciding where you will focus your energy, attention, emotions, and behavior

Switching focus to a public feedback perspective.

Being entirely objective about yourself is very difficult (if possible at all).

Quote from Les Brown describes it exceptionally well for me “You can’t see the picture if you’re in the frame.”

We have a distorted view of ourselves. Our ego may prevent us from seeing an obvious and simple issue that can be exposed by getting feedback from people not impacted emotionally by it

If you own up your mistakes and weaknesses, evaluate yourself honestly as a player and then work to improve on key areas – eventually, you will reach high self-confidence.

Quote, I probably dig the most in recent years is “Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life” by Jerzy Gregorek

Problem driven people are not the ones who usually solve problems for the obvious reason – they do not focus on that.

The main advantage of seeing adversity this way is being able to overcome it and focus on the grand goal rather than being stopped by minor setbacks.

It will also help you focus on your growth rather than the current situation and perhaps help you handle your own emotions

The central aspect of getting the right mindset for improvement begins by looking at ourselves and defining who we are.

If you do not know who and where you currently are, how can you know where you want to go and how to reach it?

All of us feel good when we dominate our opponent. It is a natural feeling of satisfaction to win and be better than others. The opposite is also true – we do not like it when others beat us.

When you are just starting with Rainbow Six Siege, you will get destroyed by your opponents, on a quite regular basis.

I see way too many people focusing on ranks while neglecting the actual reason they stay in the same rank – not improving skills.

I propose to focus on improving a skill that is lacking the most and makes the most significant difference between where you are and where you want to be.

To do so, you have to become open to learning.

The biggest enemy of your improvement is repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

Set challenges that are hard to reach, but not impossible

Make sure that you set your goals and expectations in a way that will keep you engaged in the process while providing small victories and rewards over time.

As an example: if you were Silver III last season, do not set Silver II as a goal. Instead, aim for reaching Gold II by improving on a particular aspect of your game. Note every increase of sub ranks between and its correlation to your improvements!

Update your goals over time

To ensure increasing progress, we all should review our goals and systems surrounding them. They are in place to support us, not for us to help them!

Once we reached the goal, we should take it to another level or create a new objective that is in line with our expectations and follows the goldilock rule.

Remember that improvement should not be one and done approach. Once you reach your goal, you should set a new one as joy coming from realization will be only temporary.

It sounds like simple advice. In reality, it might be the hardest part to achieve consistently. Especially if you are a new player or tend to get nervous in action-packed situations.

Being stressed harms many elements, including the precision of aim.

Getting nervous in high tense situations is a natural body reaction and occurs less with time and experience gained. When such conditions become more common for a player, it is significantly easier to handle them calmly.

At the beginning of a relationship with any game, you will find it difficult to process all of those inputs at the same time. It is natural, so don’t be too harsh on yourself.

Over time you will learn to recognize individual cues and predict the effect. To accelerate this process, focus from the beginning on:

– Data at your disposal

– What did this data mean

– What could have been done differently
