Spiritual Productivity?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s really really really important to remember that working hard and stress are not evils (at all!).
It’s the failure of so many of us to recover and retreat from stress so that we refuel and enjoy life fully that’s the real and pressing problem.
This model from The 5AM Club [thank you to all of my readers who are sharing and gifting the book to those they love, worldwide] has been so very helpful to the financial titans I mentor and the leadership teams I coach. It’s called The Twin Cycles of Elite Performance [T2CEP] and it represents the science that confirms the most productive people on the planet don’t work all the time.
No, they understand that “hustle and grind” is a bad strategy and that less is actually more.
When they work, they work with fantastic focus and splendid dedication. And then, they pause. They renew. They walk and travel and read and play. They recover and rest and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
How change-makers generate confidence? They flow with the seasons. I mean, our egos and our weaker selves think that success in life is being happy, happy, happy. Always being in the sunshine. Always being successful. And society has sold us a bill of goods that if we're not successful and we're not on our games, and if we're not waking up happy, and if we're not full of joy, and if we're not feeling all this confidence, there is something that is wrong. And with deep love and respect, this could be one of the most important things I share with you in this podcast. That is just your ego screaming. And that's why I say flow with the seasons. A life beautifully lived is a series of seasons. A legendary producer is not always at the top of the mountain. And so stop resisting, I encourage you, stop resisting the natural flow of epic performance. Stop resisting the natural seasons of life. You see? And so what happens is when you stop struggling and you learn, again, it's a muscle, but you just learn to relax with life. When you simply understand part of living a legendary business life and part of living a rare-air personal life means you're gonna have seasons of so-called success in society. Maybe it's making a lot of money, being really productive, being at the top of your game, receiving the accolades of peers, feeling you are nailing your goals and your ambitions and your KPIs, your key performance indicators. And you're gonna have seasons where you're confused. Seasons where you feel heartbroken, seasons where you feel depleted, seasons where you are struggling. And the more you learn to relax into every season, the more you will generate this internal power, which I call confidence.
