Hope Unfiltered: Just the Basics

Seventy One Percent


Listen Later

Last week I was struck by a post on social media that a friend shared with me. It was a simple statement. 5/7 = 71%. 
When you show up 5 out of 7 days, don't expect A level results, you didn't earn them. 
Damn. How many of us does this resonate with in more than one way. 
Too often I catch myself in the same conversation and goals list on Monday. 
However, come Friday night, these goals are somehow thrown out with the weekend and next thing I know, I fall into the 5 of 7 category of people. 
And yet, I continually wonder why I am not hitting my A level goals. 
Well, some simple mathematics (which aren't my strong suite) solved that problem for me. 
71% is a number I will no longer accept in my life. 
You see, back when 75 Hard was introduced by Andy Frisella, the idea was straight forward. 
Win every single day for 75 days straight. 
75/75. 
If you did 74/75 you had to start over. 
Failure. 
So, why not implement the same concept into our own life. 
If we truly want to achieve A level results in our health and well being then stop living a 5/7 lifestyle. 
Start embracing the 7/7 lifestyle. 
Maybe the occasional 6.5/7 when your kids want a Sunday Ice Cream date. 
But you get the point. 
Stop questioning why you aren't getting 7/7 results when you are living a 5/7 life.
