Legendary Begins With Transformed Awareness

Yes I do believe in destiny. I sense that there is a set of invisible hands guiding us along and encouraging our moves and watching our backs. Having said this, nothing works for someone who does no work. Sorry to say this but there are just too many people on the planet who want the rewards of world-class without lifting a pinky to do what world-class requires. Leadership and personal greatness absolutely requires us to apply APR: Absolute Personal Responsibility. We must set good habi...

  I remember listening to an interview of Bono of U2, and he spoke about the people he admires. And one of the things I've never forgotten, he said, "I resonate with people who have depth. I resonate with the heavyweights." And it makes me think of an experience I had at a hotel in Switzerland. And I love lemon tea when I'm writing a book. I love to fast. I love to turn off all my devices and I keep it very simple, very Spartan. And I work and I focus. I don't eat because to get great work done, eat less food. So I practice intermittent

• 1:16Speaker 00

  fasting for a period of time every day and I drink lemon tea, which is just a great detox. And so, the young gentleman who brought the lemon tea into my hotel room said, "Here's your lemon tea." It was on beautiful linen, beautiful china. Everything was perfect. He thanked me. I tipped him. He left the room. And as I went to pick up the half lemon that had a sort of a net over it, so when I squeeze it, the lemon wouldn't go everywhere, I noticed

• 1:55Speaker 00

  that someone in the kitchen of this wonderful hotel had taken the time to de-seed the lemon wedges. In a world where so many people don't care about the little details, but magic creation lives in attentiveness to the smallest of details. I mean, when you really care, when you say, "This is my work. There is dignity in my labor," and you take the time to de-seed the lemon wedges, even when your guest won't even know who did it, that's the payoff. You become a hero. And so, this is a great gargantuan competitive advantage to be a person of depth,

• 2:37Speaker 00

  to be someone who is not superficial in your work, not superficial in the books that you read, not superficial in your conversations, not superficial in the way you see your craft, not superficial in your morning routine, not superficial in your pre-sleep routine, not superficial in your conversations, not superficial in the way you work on your relationships, not superficial in the way you organize your finances, not superficial in the way you build your net worth, not superficial in the way you make your mark in the world, not superficial with the way you think about how you're going to conduct the rest of your life. Shift from superficiality to this word I've created called granularity, and you will lead your field and you will have an amazing gargantuan competitive advantage in a world where so many people

• 3:22Speaker 00

  are looking at fun videos. It's all about entertainment. Victims love entertainment because it gets them away from real work and the pain of potential unexpressed. The heroes, the virtuosos, they care less about entertainment. They're more about education. They're less about superficiality. They're all about depth and rigor and focus and understanding things because with better awareness, you'll make better choices. With better choices, you'll see better results. That's what granularity really is. It's heightening. Remember my three-step success formula? With better daily awareness of the key things that you're doing. You know,

• 4:07Speaker 00

  who was it?

• 4:11Speaker 00

  Darwin, the father of evolution. He spent seven years studying barnacles, but that was essential for him to come up with the theory of evolution. And so, the great ones are not about superficiality. They're all about granularity. They develop huge awareness in the things that are most important to them. The three-step success formula is simply this. With better awareness each day, you're going to be able to make better choices each day. With better choices each day, you're going to see better results each day. If you develop great awareness of your morning routine and you run my 202020 formula that you probably know about, you're going to have so much more awareness about how the superstars begin their days. With

• 4:56Speaker 00

  better awareness, you can make better daily choices. With better daily choices, you will see better daily results. In so many ways, legendary is all about starting with transformed awareness.
