High-Performance Lifestyle
2020 is year that will forever be remembered for all that we lost as a nation.
Personally, I was impacted very little by 2020.
I am not saying that bad things did not happen to me, they did.
I am saying I was impacted minimally by them.
Your thoughts and attitudes determine your outcome. How you feel about any given situation is up to you.
I choose prosperity in 2020, and that is what I received. [Read more…]
There is an illusion of choice in today’s society.
We think we have many choices, but the variety of options only leaves us less fulfilled. We think we can be high-performers and have robust social lives. We want to be rich and travel. We aim for the rewards but rarely do we strip away the choices that will lead us to the pinnacle.

It is the pursuit of high-performance that propels us. When the chance to ease up comes along, when the path of least resistance is revealed, it is the vision of our best selves, it is our desire to become the best that keeps us moving forward. [Read more…]
The sheer amount of information available to anyone nowadays is appalling.
Your primitive brain, equipped well for the trials of survival in nature, is at a disadvantage.
It cannot cope with the amount of stimulus. It doesn’t know how to respond. Your mind, the catalyst of your conscious self, can no longer keep up with the demand.
As a result, our distractions become the drivers of our lives.

Behaviors are action and action is king. [Read more…]
