Adventure As a Performance Fuel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I teach “adventure as a performance fuel” to the producers, performers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders I work with to help them rise to iconic.
Any neurobiologist will tell you the brain craves novelty, and I’m here to tell you, that a life without joy and exciting adventures is a life mildly lived.
My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.
Please do not be caught in the snare of being busy and working hard and then spending time with your family and then chasing material pleasures and hustle and grinding to the point where you've lost a sense of adventure. Please develop as of today a passion portfolio. That's a portfolio of things that you love to do. I had a conversation with one client a little while ago. He said, youk now, I used to love cycling so much it made me so happy. Every day I'd be out on the bike. I go, how are you feeling these days? He goes, I'm not as happy. I go, okay, why don't you get on the bike a bit more? He goes, oh, what a great idea. Isn't it fascinating that when we are younger, there are all these passions we pursue that fill us with wonder and awe and joy and enthusiasm. And then when we become adults, And by the way, adults are nothing more than deteriorated children, right? When we're kids, we have all these things that make us happy, and then we become adults, and we become serious, and we have responsibilities, and the responsibility steals and degrades our sense of wonder. And then we wonder. Every week go on a weekly adventure. It could be a new restaurant, it could be an art gallery, it could be a symphony, it could be getting on the phone or having a conversation with a person who's just interesting to you in your community. It could be flying to a city for a long weekend. Here's what I love doing. I love renting a hotel room in my home city. And then I go in that hotel room. Just because there's no mess, I feel this incredible freedom. And then I can watch a movie that I've been wanting to watch. I can write in my journal. I often buy these big sheets of paper that I stick onto the walls and I write about the next month or the next five years. I write about ideas I have to improve the important areas of my life. Sometimes I'll get one of these dry erase markers and I actually, I remember I was... in Caracas, Venezuela for a leadership presentation. And I wrote on the windows, and I do it a lot.I'm in Europe, and when I'm in Southeast Asia, I just pull out the dry erase marker. And I write on the mirror, too, in the bathroom. That's what you can do with these dry erase markers. And then I know the the room keeper probably is horrified, but I have all my ideas and my thoughts and my strategies and my dream maps. My whole room in the hotel, it's like ideas all over the walls. It's like maybe like a scientist trying to figure out their theories. And then when I leave, just take some Kleenex and I put some water on it and I clean the mirror and I leave the hotel room the way I found it. Find your adventures. It will inject a lot of creativity into your life. It'll really amplify your energy.
