I've forever had my paradigm shifted with a new category of attributes. What are attributes? They are inherent qualities you possess. We all do. And they inform everything we do. Here is the story. Rich Diviney spent 20 years as a Navy SEAL, completing more than a dozen overseas deployments, eleven in Iraq and Afghanistan. He went on to be intimately involved in a specialized SEAL selection process to look for elite performers amongst the already elite SEAL members. He found himself often surprised by which candidates washed out and which succeeded. So often someone with all the right skills would fail, while others he might have initially dismissed would turn out to be the best performers. This led Rich to research and discover hidden drivers of performance. Attributes which will often predict how we will perform, especially under pressure. I read through Rich's book, The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. Then I took his Attributes quiz. We started off with what drove him to pursue being a Navy SEAL. Then discussed how attributes differ from skills, and in truth, eclipse them. Then we walked through all 25 attributes and I'm confident you'll hear brand new perspectives on attributes like courage, situational awareness, task switching, cunning and even narcissism which he says has a place in top performance. Again, I feel I have a whole new toolbox for understanding, predicting, and growing my own performance.

Navy SEAL Leader Rich Diviney | How To Understand & Leverage The 25 Attributes That Drive Your Optimal Performance

As your body is the physical vehicle for all you do here on earth, this episode is about having it in great working order. As we continue to look at the best foods to fuel our bodies, we now turn to fat. Most of grew up where fat was the enemy, so everything went to no fat or zero fat and we Americans got…fatter. As quoted by the NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information: The prevalence of obesity changed relatively little during the 1960s and 1970s, but it increased sharply over the ensuing decades—from 13.4% in 1980 to 34.3% in 2008 among adults and from 5% to 17% among children during the same period. Then...the national adult obesity rate has increased by 26 percent since 2008 and today the U.S. adult obesity rate stands at 42.4 percent, the first time the national rate has passed the 40 percent mark. No fat has made us fat. Now let me clarify; a pint of Ben & Jerry’s is 16 oz, and if I have it, I eat it all. The whole pint. A pint of Chubby Hubby has 1,320 calories and 80g of fat. A 16 oz slab of salmon has 944 calories and 59g of fat. However that Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby also packs in 140g of sugar and the salmon has zero. The fat you want is from fish, meat, olives, avocado, seeds and nuts, and some dairy...but not the Ben & Jerry’s kind. Stay tuned and we’ll help you decipher what fast will serve you best.

A Guide To The Most Beneficial Fats For Your Drive

Friends, this is a conviction I’m frustrated by and hopeful with. We are all wanting to better ourselves. We want it so we think differently and act differently and get better results. This is what fulfills us, and it’s what serves others best. So we truly want to grow and progress, but we take in untold amounts of information, we get inspired, and the months go by and we wonder, “Have I changed?” I spend an hour on a Zoom call with a renowned therapist yesterday and we boiled down to this essence. For change to happen, we must have an immersive experience. What does that look like? Let me explain.

The Only One Way To Transform - You Must Immerse Yourself

Most of us work in order to make money. I’m going to assume that’s you. And making money is important. For this discussion, we’re going to take a look at the concept of work you enjoy outside of money. My dad, Dan Miller, wrote the book, 48 Days To The Work You Love. If you haven’t read it, go now to 48days.com and get a copy, just like over two million other people have done. Ultimately I’m looking at fulfilling work. You may not love it all the time. It may not feel like play all the time. Mine doesn’t. But man, is it fulfilling. I don’t see this as a luxury. The more fulfilled you are in your work, the better work you’ll do and it will serve everyone best. You, your family, your friends, your customers, and the world. So following is a short series of questions to ask that will help get you on the path to clarity.

How To Find Out What You Really Want To Do For Work

In the last episode I had James R Doty on the show. James is a neurosurgeon, a professor at Stanford, and author of Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation And How It Changes Everything. I keep hearing feedback about the show and what most people are responding to is the concept of focusing on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Our survival oriented, fear and negativity biased minds give primary focus to what we don’t want. This is incredibly important. It’s monumental and fundamental to the lives and realities we find ourselves in. Let me walk you through the eight key areas of life and give you a quick example you will easily grasp, and can immediately put into action.

Friends, speaking of the 8 key areas of life, there is nothing I am more passionate about that helping people clarify what authentically drives them, and getting them in alignment. I have a special fondness for helping people work at what drives them. Notice I didn’t say, get you driven to work. That’s where we get it backwards. I want you working, at what drives you. If invite you to email me. Let’s talk. I promise a personal response. kmiller@kevinmiller.co.
