Ordinary people really think about week-to-week. It’s how can I get through the next seven days? Okay? How can I watch enough TV so I can numb out the pain of my potential unexpressed and just get to next week? How can I eat enough junk food so I derive a little bit of pleasure in the moment to get through the next few days? How can I maybe gossip or coast out the next few days to just get into the next week? That’s how a lot of people, very unfortunately, are living. But those who are in rare-air are fundamentally different. And this is a total mindset shift. It’s not about getting through the next week. It’s not about getting through the next month. It’s about how can I think the thoughts, run the routines, do the work, live the life, and have the impact so that I’m not trying to get through the next week, but that I’m impacting coming generations? And that’s a whole new orbit to be playing with. Asking yourself, even if you are a street sweeper, a pizza maker, whether you’re a teacher, a firefighter,a manager, or an entrepreneur, what do I need to do in terms of my psychology and my emotional life and my spiritual life so that the rest of my life has an impact on the coming generations? And with that mindset, then your performance matches your daily behavior. And you do leap from the 95% into that %, which is where I invite you, with great love and great passion and great encouragement, to play out the rest of your days.
