Your brain requires novelty to become fully engaged. Without a mighty mission to give your days over to, high value targets that electrify your enthusiasm and meaningful pursuits that fuel your joy, you’ll grow bored. And apathetic.

Scared people generally complain about how bored they are, by the way.

They are so terrified of living their genius and honoring their original gifts that they’ve suppressed their ambitions. And have no energetically imagined future that gets them out of bed before the sun comes up and inspires them to present their finest creativity to a most welcoming society.

By the way, I’ve created a really special and deeply tactical new course that will help you significantly increase your productivity and performance over the next 30 days. It’s called The Amazing Day Blueprint. Here are the details to get full access now.

A compelling cause to donate the rest of your life to is the antidote to apathy. But most people don't know. You say, what do want to stand for? I don't know. Good question. You say, what five things need to happen over the next 90 days for this to be the best quarter of your life? I don't know. You ask yourself, what are your top five values? I don't know. You ask yourself, Ask most people, what is your magnificent obsession that gets you out of bed at five in the morning with fire in the belly and sparkle in your eyes? And they say, I don't know. See, most people do not spend the time to think. They're busy being busy, caught up in the complexity of every day. Divorce yourself from the majority. Get involved in what I'm sharing with you is anti-majority behavior. And here's the brain tattoo to have the results. only 5 % of the population have, you've got to be willing to do the things that only 5 % of the population are willing to do. I'm going to repeat that again for you so you can reinforce it and cement it. To have the results only 5 % of the population have, you've got to be willing to do what only 5 % of the population are willing to do.And it won't be easy. You know, I read a quote this morning and it was something to the effect of any great piece of work that the world has seen came as a result of huge amounts of effort in isolation for long periods of time. And here was the great part of the quote, in estrangement from society. Because when you live like this, when you get up early, when you go the extra mile, when you have... painstaking attention to detail. When you love to learn, study and grow, remember, LSG, learning, studying and growing. In this world where most people are, they would rather spend time in entertainment than education. They would rather spend time in leisure than learning. When you live like this, when you devote yourself to your craft, when there's a sparkle in your eye to change the world and live your hero with potential, you'll be called a freak, an oddball, a misfit. But just remember this, and I say this with great love and respect, if people don't misunderstand you, you're not playing at your personal genius.
