Confusion is a Reflection of Growth

Confusion means you’re growing. If you are an athlete and you’re at a certain plateau of your sport, your acumen, your game, please understand that things now must break down to break through. Let’s say you’re a marathoner, or a boxer, or a yogi, or a swimmer, you’re going to reach a certain level through your practice and your study and your devotion and your commitment. And then if you want to get to the next level of world-class, you’re going to have to break down things. Your core beliefs, your muscles, your emotional architecture, even on the physical side, your muscles need to break down, it’s called micro tearing. And the muscle will break down, then you rest it.

And then when you recover, guess what happens? Your muscle is stronger. That is growth. In
your personal relationships, you’re going to get to a certain plateau. And then what’s going to happen if you want to get to your next level of understanding and commitment and love, you’re going to have to tear things down. That is not wrong, that is the process of rising to legendary. And so the A players and the legendary leaders understand that in business, in your physical life, in your relationship life, in your spiritual life, in your financial life, break down is necessary for breakthrough.
