In The fall of 1998, I stood in the Alkek Library on the campus of Southwest Texas State University. I'll looked up from the foyer and ask myself very simple question. The question had a profound impact on my imagination. "What if I only knew a fraction of 1% of the information that sat in this library? What would be possible?" Today we sit in an economy of an abundance of information. There are information products. People are selling their messages and methodologies and process to create value in the marketplace and extract that value out in the form of money. Amazon publishes new books every day to their Kindle platform. There is a lot information out there in the world begging for us to consume it. Actually counting on us to consume it. No matter the legitimacy of the material there are some fundamental questions we must ask ourselves: Will way be ready to receive it? How do I prepare yourself to hear that magic? If that answers were all right there, what technique would you employ to an sure that not only do you understand it what you're capable apply immediately? In this episode of Halftime Talks we explore the variety of ways that we can become a more ABSORBING MIND. As we can realize the value of increasing our capacity to retain the essential and relevant parts which contributes to your performance we move from linear progressions to explosive exponential impact. Enjoy.

There's no such thing as a moment of excellence. With Natural Ability + Talent, there times when you can play beyond your current ability. In that moment of inspiration can afford you a glimpse at performing beyond the conceptual frameworks held with little blueprint for repetition. History cannot take from you that it happened. We must commit to pouring energy through the mold of the template to make it more commonplace. Excellence just pushing that line of performance to a level few can achieve. Jocko Willink, a retired Navy Seal once said "We don't rise two levels of our hopes, we fall to the level of our training." Each skill, each understanding, each ounce of confidence combines into an exponential product. Natural ability and raw talent becomes rendered into refined ability and refined talent. In this episode we take a close look at how we can deliberately transform that natural ability into its highest form. Thank you for listening.
