Summary

Ritualistic Success Steven Covey called it sharpening the saw. If you take a break to sharpen the blade, you will always cut more wood. The same applies to life. My formula is Ritual, Rest, Rejuvenate, Reactivate. Repeat: 1) Success comes when you perform ritual actions every day. Figure out what works and do it. 2) Running full-out all the time is not sustainable. You must stop and rest. 3) Resting allows your body and mind to rejuvenate and become healthy again. 4) When you are ready, it's time to reactivate into action mode. 5) Repeat until you get what you want. It's easier to cut more wood when you take a break to sharpen your saw. A walk in the park on a busy day counts too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And then you stand up, you take a step, you repeat, you keep going to get what you want. That's it. You know what the trick is here?

1:05.1

The trick is the click. That's it. Now come close to me for a second here.

1:13.1

I recognize a long time ago that the click had a great way of capturing your attention.

1:19.1

In fact, it was a millisecond time when you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you get it.

1:23.1

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Got it.

1:26.1
