Not too long ago, I went on a Top Secret Mission 🤫 to Europe to work with some of the world’s most elite athletes.
I came back from that trip FIRED UP.
There’s something about being around TRULY ELITE performers and seeing JUST HOW committed they are to excellence that always makes me want to go to the next, NEXT, NEXT level.
So…
When I got back from that trip, I went DEEP.
I literally didn’t turn my primary phone on for a MONTH (other than using it to check my Oura scores)—creating what Peter Drucker would call a “large quantum of time” to get ahead on content while mastering some next-level ideas.
During that micro-sabbatical, I focused on a couple different domains I wanted to master so that I can help YOU (and all the other elite performers we train) go to their next best level of performance.
Those two domains?
Peak performance/mental toughness and Energy/nutrition/longevity.
In our next few +1s, I want to chat about one of the first books on peak performance I read during that micro-sabbatical called Changing Your Story.
But…
First…
I want to make it really, REALLY, REALLY (!) clear that, when I’m focused on sharing wisdom from/about elite performers in sports and/or the military, I’m not sharing that wisdom thinking it’s only for other elite performers who happen to be in sports and/or the military.
I am sharing it FOR YOU.
To be clear…
I don’t care WHO you are and/or WHAT you do…
From my vantage point…
YOU ARE AN ELITE PERFORMER.
Period.
That’s not even remotely negotiable for me.
I mean it when I say: “In the faces of men and women, I see Heroes.”
Which is why I often get a little annoyed when we get feedback telling me that I talk about elite performers so much and that some people don’t see themselves in their stories.
First of all…
We’re “HEROIC.”
Not “MEDIOCRE.”
😉
And…
I repeat…
I am sharing that wisdom from elite performers/about elite performance FOR YOU.
One more time…
To be clear…
I don’t care WHO you are and/or WHAT you do…
From my vantage point…
YOU ARE AN ELITE PERFORMER.
Period.
Paulo Coelho has a great line in one of his books called Confessions of a Pilgrim.
He tells us: “I learned the most important lesson of my life: that the extraordinary is not the birthright of a chosen and privileged few, but of all people, even the humblest. That is my one certainty: we are all the manifestation of the divinity of God.”
And…
That’s Today’s +1.
I repeat: “The extraordinary is not the birthright of a chosen and privileged few, but of ALL people, even the humblest. That is my one certainty: we are all the manifestation of the divinity of God.”
Let’s go out and live like we are the manifestations of the divinity of God.
All day.
Every day.
Especially…
TODAY.
