The Mindset

On day 10 of fast-action, we will take a collective breath and do what is unheard of in today’s world: we look back and self-evaluate.

With over 400 hours of content uploaded to YouTube every minute (rough math says that’s over ½ million hours of content per day), let’s just say we are in a period of time that isn’t looking at their actions, course correcting, and aiming for mastery. No. The focus is clearly on going a mile wide and an inch deep.

Looking back at the first half of our time together will allow us to instead go an inch wide and mile deep with one or more of our fast-actions. By doing this we can have the gift of reflection, gratitude, and celebration for what we’ve both done and that which we have skipped.

And do we dare do that in a program designed to keep us moving forward? Of course, we do! Because in each of those (the work we’ve done and skipped) there are clues to the combination of the lock that opens the door to our greatest gifts and abilities.

We don’t need ½ million hours of uploaded videos for that – we need a quiet moment of honest accountability, a system for positive feedback, and a clear agreement to course correct.

Photo of the Day

Jim Perry made the (possible) mistake in asking me about food! Well, I hope the answer made sense. It’s something I talk a lot about and managed to keep this answer pretty short.

I’ll only add, Jim, that it’s not easy. There is a period of time where you might have to “white knuckle” it. Water and body movement will set you free. Change takes change.
