Age is just some label society places on us [and prints on a driver's license]. And yet so many of us allow it to limit our heroic nature and instinct for greatness.

Positive psychologists confirm (through good research) the power of the self-fulfilling prophecy: think you're old and you'll become old. [Because if you think you're old, you'll move less, create less, work less, dream less... which will make you old!].‎ 

In this episode of The Daily Mastery Podcast, I'll walk you one powerful way to become ageless. So you become peerless.

How To Become Ageless

There can be no success without failure. It's just part of the process. The companies and people who have reached the heights of success are the same ones who have failed the most. 

You need to fail to win. And the faster you fail, the more quickly you’ll learn precisely what you need to do to win.  So Fail Fast. Outfail the competition. Outfail the person you once were.

Failure is Fuel for Success [If You Choose So]

In this world where so few of us are comfortable being alone, being in the wilderness, in this world where almost everywhere you go there’s technology and there’s noise and there’s complexity. Almost everywhere you go people want to talk, talk, talk, talk. Just imagine what your life would be like as a creative person, as a leader, as a productive person, as a producer, as a human being if you installed a weekly ritual of going for a walk in the woods. To me, it’s like a tonic from toxicity.

Get into Nature [A Tonic from Toxicity]

To triumph in these times you really must become a contrarian and process events through a completely different operating system than the majority uses. Tactically this means: "stick to your knitting” and stay ultra-concentrated only on those pursuits within your control (deepening personal mastery, forging even better family unity and making your masterpieces) versus worrying about things you cannot control (which is a recipe for dramatic misery).

One Way That The Business Titans Do It

Stop comparing yourself to others. It’s a great way to destroy confidence and diminish performance. 

The real game to play is to get better than yesterday’s self. Why dilute your energy comparing yourself to others when the real work is materializing the genius within you. 

There’s only one you on the planet today. You’ve been built to dazzle. And designed to inspire.

Why You Need to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others [Today]

Given that we cannot go outside and travel as well as we could before March, I passionately encourage you to use this period to go within.

Imagine taking the next 6 months to read transformational books, heal old wounds, upgrade your primary skills and plan out your next 20 years with ultra-clear intimacy. 

Reading a book is having a conversation with the author. Pick up the right one, and you put it down - forever changed.

Read The Heroic Books

The greatest movement-makers all have one thing in common: they were masterful communicators. Through their words and ways of showing up, they have been able to persuade their people to follow them to the mountaintop.

And by speaking your truth, even when your voice is trembling and your hands are sweating, you’ll multiply your dignity, credibility and advance beautifully in the resolve you bring to everything you do.

You are born into genius, but have you resigned yourself to mediocrity?

The instant we drop our excuses is the moment we enjoy freedom from pain, because potential unexpressed and dreams left undone are what cause the regret that powers all suffering.

Often, we are our greatest abusers. And when we increase the caring of our selves, we begin to sense the secret glory that rests at our base. And come to know all that we truly are.

As you love yourself more, you’ll grow intimacy with your natural genius, discover your truest powers and honor your highest self.
