A great life has times out in the world and periods alone in the wilderness. And if you want to be thoughtful, if you want to be a heavyweight on the planet, you want to dominate your domain, if you want to rise to legendary, if you want to live a beautiful lifestyle, it starts with getting to know who you truly are, your gifts, your talents, your ego voices, your weakness. It’s about being alone so you know your values, how you want to live, what your mighty mission is, what your high value targets are. And ultimately, it’s about connecting, I’m going to get a little dangerous here, but being alone is about pondering and reflecting on your mortality.You see, the more you think about how you will have wished you will have lived when you’re no longer here, the more intimacy and fluency you build with the shortness of life and your mortality, and ifyou do it every day alone, each day will then be a platform to get closer to how you will have wished you will have lived at the end. That’s called an intentional life, a clear life, a heroic life and a leadership life.And that’s my great wish for you. So make the time to be alone a lot more often and get comfortable being alone, and then do the work required so you excavate who you truly are and bring that light, talent, genius, and love to a world absolutely aching for true heroes.
