Stop holding on to that which doesn’t serve you. You can’t enter your terrifically bright future held down by experiences, habits and beliefs that keep you chained in the past.

Stop Being a Prisoner of Your Past

Hard gets such a bad rap. ⁣
⁣
Yet when it comes to a project or a workout or a relationship or a life, in my experience it is the doing of that which is difficult that delivers the most valuable results. Elite performers, therefore, practice enjoying the doing of difficult things. ⁣
⁣
Consistently embrace the activities that are hardest. Eventually, the hard things become easier. Because we’ve made ourselves stronger.⁣

Do Hard Things Daily

The global economy is in a state of acute disruption. Competition has never been more fierce. Consumers have never been so well-informed and loudly demanding. And what worked yesterday just might be obsolete today.

But this time is also a great time, for the astonishing few who are ready to show leadership. Leaders are at their absolute best during messy cycles versus during the easy ones. And messy cycles bring with them gorgeous opportunities.

Share + discuss + debate these potent insights with your team and throughout your organization. Within a quick period of time, you’ll see some fantastic results.

Tactics for Thriving in a Recession

The aim is not to grow into someone other than who you are; the goal is to work through the layers of doubt and fear that you’ve accumulated on this earthwalk to remember who you truly are.

Use any fear surfacing to heal, grow and strengthen yourself. Hard times activate hidden wounds that can be remedied. Making you stronger, wiser and more loving when the pandemic ends.

Remember — times of discomfort are periods of elite growth. We don’t expand so much when everything’s fabulous.

Recode Your Emotional Architecture for Fearlessness

We all experience seasons in the wilderness where we feel alone, confused, and challenged.

Yet, please remember that turbulence is necessary for transformation. And things must fall apart for things to be built up in a greater way.

The suffering will morph into strength. The wounds will grow into wisdom. The volatility will—eventually—yield a more decent humanity.

All change really is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.

“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master knows is the butterfly,” wrote Richard Bach.

Confusion is Nothing More than Growth Unfolding

Yes—these are uncertain times. Yet it is in trouble that heroes emerge. It is amid hardship that leaders are born. When all is falling apart we are blessed with the chance to remake ourselves.

Use any fear surfacing to heal, grow and strengthen yourself. Hard times activate hidden wounds that can be remedied.

Making you stronger, wiser and more loving when the pandemic ends.

Transform Your Wounds into Wisdom

Victims make excuses. Leaders deliver results.

Your excuses are liars, your doubts are thieves. The more times in a day that you rationalize why you can’t become all that you wish to be or handcraft the life that your best self wants, the more you’ll hardwire the neural circuit of that belief into your brain.

And that which you keep practicing is that which you’ll become a pro at. We become amazing at the things we repeat.

If you keep excusing away your power to do remarkable things, grow stronger amid adversity, and live the life of your ideals, you won’t do the work required to realize these feats.

So your very mental habit will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. And actually limit the glory of your potentially awesome reality.

The Game-Changer's Protocol

There’s very little emotional and spiritual advancement when everything’s going your way.

It’s when your best laid plans meet the supposed enemy of uncertainty that you receive your test as a leader.

As the world gets messier why not work with what’s happening to make yourself braver. That’s how the heroes roll. And the masters play.

One Common Trait of Enduring Heroes

Authenticity is a powerful gateway drug into JPF: Joy/Peace/Freedom, isn’t it?

Few things shatter a human heart as much as reaching the end of your life and realizing that you lived it based on someone else’s terms.

Yes, it takes strength of character, deep courage and a craving for originality to break free of the seductive beliefs and habits of the herd...

And yet, working on these qualities are among the finest moves you can make to build your empire [whether an empire of money or fortunes of creativity, productivity, adventure or contribution to society].

Fulfillment comes from living your truth. Doing your values. Pursuing your dreams.

No point in getting to the end and realizing you never let the real you come out to play. A great life grows from an authentic one. Keep shining.

A Great Life Grows From an Authentic One
