Confusion is Nothing More than Growth Unfolding

From what I can tell—and who truly knows the way the world works—that which appears to unmake us is the very season that rebuilds us.

Our pain, in truth, becomes a purifier. Difficulty softens us, unmasks us and opens us—allowing the gifts of wisdom, humility and patience to become our new way of being.

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.

Clarity comes from confusion. Nietzsche said it so well, said, chaos gives birth to dancing stars. So whether you're an entrepreneur scaling your business, please understand you will reach a plateau of your growth and if you push to the next level, the way you get there is through the process of messiness and confusion. There's nothing wrong, everything is right. Confusion means you're growing. If you are an athlete and you're at a certain plateau of your sport, your acumen, your game, please understand that things now must break down to break through. Let's say you're a marathoner or a boxer or a yogi or a swimmer. You're going to reach a certain level through your practice and your study and your devotion and your commitment. And then if you want to get to the next level of world-class, you're going to have to break down things, your core beliefs, your muscles, your emotional architecture. Even on the physical side, your muscles need to breakdown. It's called micro-tearing and the muscle will break down. Then you rest it. And then when you recover, guess what happens? Your muscle is stronger. That is growth. In your personal relationships, you're going to get to a certain plateau. And then what's going to happen if you want to get to your next level of understanding and commitment and love, you're to have to tear things down. That is not wrong. That is the process of rising to legendary. And so the A-players and the legendary leaders understand that in business, in your physical life, in your relationship life, in your spiritual life, in your financial life, breakdown is necessary for breakthroughs. A lot of the philosophers say, the very nature of growth means you will endure a lifetime series of cycles, lifetime of death and rebirth. You know, I consistently go through a lot of personal change because I am consistently committed to massive and exponential personal growth in my Mindset, Heartset, Healthset, and Soulset. That's just what I've signed up for in this lifetime. And someone asked me earlier this week, How long do you think this constant series and cycling of confusion, clarity, disruption, linear life will go on for? And I said, probably the remainder of my life. Because I understand that things must die for better things to be born. Things must fall apart for new structures to be installed. And so I hope this has been helpful to you because at my live events or when I meet people, a lot of people come up to me as I travel the world and they share wonderful stories and they're very generous to me. And they say, well, you know, I'm going through a lot of confusion right now. What should I do? And I see it even on some of the social media comments. And I just wanted to shoot this episode to say, that's phenomenal. Celebrate it. It's a gift that you're going... And this is... You're going to have to hack the dominant Mindset of our culture and understand, please, that you know what? Confusion is nothing more than growth unfolding.
