  • How to Think Like a High Performer

    Welcome back to the daily mastermind everyone. My name is George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. Today, we are going to talk about high performance, and I want to start you off with the quote of the day. The quote of the day is from Tony Robbins.

    And it is, there is no such thing as failure, only results. I love that quote because I know I talk a lot about the fact that results only come from failure, right? Fail five times faster, re look at, change your philosophy on failure. But the bottom line is this. There's really no such thing as failure because you are one of those individuals that never gives up.

    But there's only results. Results that are going to happen in your life. I think you need to adopt that as a very strong quote in your life. There's no such thing as failure, only results. So let's talk today about high performance. You know, I mentioned, um, and I do this often, I mentioned in our, um, episode on Monday where we were kind of talking about how to feed your energy.

    I mentioned Brendan Burchard and, you know, he's one of those, first, named by USA Today as one of the top performance coaches in the world. But he's one of those guys I go back to often because he has simple ways to really talk about things that get you thinking out of the box. And you know, I was thinking about this topic of high performance and Wednesday, it's kind of hump day.

    You know, the idea is what do we need to do to get you thinking, acting and being a higher performer in your life because you're already a high performance. If you listen to this podcast, if you're a high achiever, a CEO, small business owner, or just someone hustling, you're a high achiever. Are you thinking like a high achiever?

    Do you constantly remind yourself of what high achievers do? And there's a few thoughts that Brendon Burchard talks about in his book, um, you know, High Performance Habits. And I wanted to share them with you today because these are pretty, pretty significant if you are going to be a high achiever.

    And, you know, there's just several thoughts I'd kind of written down, but one of the, there's a couple of things that he talks about when it talks, when he talks about goals and habits, because all habits are not created equal. You might be thinking, all right, you know, I'm going to get my, my workouts, my nutrition, my, you know, my daily rituals, things like this, but just remember that all habits are not equal.

    Equal and there's a couple things you need to keep in mind as we talk about what a true high performer is and the first is that Achievement is not your problem The problem most of us have is we think achieving more will solve our problems that we have an achievement is not your problem Whether or not you're getting results is not your problem alignment is The question is, are you aligned with the things that are the most important in your life?

    Are you aligned with the things that you are purposefully passionate about? Achievement is not the problem. It's not about achieving more. It's about better alignment. Because... If you're not aligned with what's most important to you, you're not growing, you're not experiencing life, you're not fulfilled. So, think about the fact that maybe it's not about achieving more.

    It's maybe about aligning better in your life. Another thing is that he reminds, and I say this quite a bit, is that certainty is the enemy of growth and high performers. If you are a high performer, you don't care about certainty in your life because you're constantly outside your comfort zone.

    You're constantly reinventing. Redelivering and expanding your knowledge. So, remind yourself that certainty is not one of the things that you need or crave. It's growth. And so, think about that. And then the other thought I wanted to preface this, this episode with is that technology is not going to be what saves you.

    Brendon talks about this a bunch because so many of us are looking for that little hack. You know, AI, um, you know, automatic tools, technology, phones, social media, whatever it is. Tools will never replace wisdom. And at the end of the day, some of us are losing touch with what our true purpose and passion is.

    And among all the excitement of all this stuff like AI and, you know, you know, outsourcing and things like this, it turns out that what does a job better than anything else is simply... Human Behavior and Better Habits. That's why I really love, um, you know, that book High Performance Habits by Brennan Bouchard because at the end of the day, nothing is going to, uh, take the place of having an insanely good set of habits.

    So I want to talk to you today. I just want to give you a couple things to think about. What, what is common? You know, uh, Brennan in his book, I mean, I don't remember the number but he's... You know, he's dealt with thousands and thousands of people over decades, and they identified what the characteristics are of high performers.

    High performers, people that are getting it done, the people that you might want or are trying to aspire to be, the people that you and I think are really crushing it. What makes them high performers? What is it that gets them to that level? I'm going to give you a few of those bullets and I want you to think about if these are the ways you think.

    And if they're not. I want you to start thinking a little bit more about that because he says high performers are more successful than their peers and yet they're less stressed. So they're more successful, but less stressed. And that's partially due to the alignment that they have and what they, what they value in their life.

    High performers love challenges. And they're more confident that they're going to achieve their goals despite adversity. So, you've got to be one of those individuals that may not have all the answers, but you know that you're going to figure it out. Because high performers, they love challenges, despite the adversity.

    High performers are also healthier than their peers. Um, what are you doing on your health? Because if you're a high performer, we talked about energy on Monday. High performers value their health, and they're healthier than their peers. High performers are also happy. Isn't it nice to hear that? High performers are happier, because what you're going to do by becoming more focused on excellence, and purpose, and passion, and alignment, you’re going to be happier along the way.

    High performers don't get caught up in not having hit their goals. They don't get caught up in the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Because they're so busy measuring the gain and their progress that they have in their life. High performers are also admired. Are you one of those individuals that's admired and respected, or do you, do you feed your ego?

    Do you worry about what people think of you? See, it's better to be admired than it is, um, famous, than it is to be recognized. You know, strive to be admired because it takes a different type of person, a high performer, to be admired. High performers also get better grades and reach higher positions of success and that's because of their habits.

    It's because they prioritize growth and mastery and success. High performers work passionately regardless of the traditional rewards. I love this one because... High performers don't just base what they're doing on compensation. They do things based on growth. They do things based on impact. They do things based on things that are going to make them be fulfilled.

    And we all know that those other things are just short term. So, they might be more emotionally based. They might be more purpose based, impactful based. But high performers are also, um, you know, they see... They see and sort of serve beyond their strengths. And the idea here is that if you're just working on the things that you're good at and you're not trying to go past that, you're not trying to develop your talents, you're not trying to expand who you are to the best version of yourself.

    Then it's very, it's very doubtful you're going to be a high performer because high performers expand past what their current, you know, unique abilities are. They always look to master their natural talents and to expand the gifts that they've been given. And, you know, obviously it goes without saying, but I want to make sure I mention that high performers are adaptive servant leaders.

    They, you know, they, they don't think, live or practice in a vacuum. They, they try to expand their skills. And help other people. Think about that for a minute. Are you just developing your own skills? Your own strengths? Or are you doing things to try to develop the strengths of those around you? Because there's so much that you can even learn and grow and do.

    And the benefits I've had of working around some of the biggest thought leaders, experts, successful people. and share that knowledge with other people so they can learn. I don't get, you know, I mean, I'm not getting any benefit from doing these free podcasts that don't have sponsors that don't have, you know, people paying me to do it.

    Um, I'm doing it to make an impact and it helps bring fulfillment and happiness for me. It helps me expand my skills and hopefully it expands. So that's my, my message for today is you thinking like a high performer? Are you setting habits in place? But also, are you learning to think and adapt at being a high performer versus just results?

    Because getting more results versus Getting more aligned is, is the key, right? We're trying to create, I really believe this, I'm not, I'm never going to say this too much. I believe it's never too late for you to start living the life that you were meant to live. But you've got to learn to change the way you're focusing on things in your life.

    I mean, we all fall in the habits. Heck, I do the same thing. Um, you know, I put, try to put more time into things instead of expanding my energy. I try to, um, you know, get more done instead of trying to help other people expand and, and therefore get more results. It's important that you think about and you're conscious you get more aligned, and you start to think more like a high performer.

    Because when you do that, the results will follow you'll attract things into your life that will help you to get to that point. So that's my message for today I hope you have a great day. I hope you're having a great week. If not Guess what? Today's a new day. So, get on it. Share this episode. I don't ask much effect.

    Just do me a favor and share this episode with at least someone and tag me at the daily mastermind on Facebook, Instagram, Tik ToK, or YouTube. Check out the quote of the day. Go to the daily mastermind, daily mastermind. com website. And check out all the free resources. We've got an Academy membership.

And I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow. Once again, this is George Wright the third, and this has been the daily mastermind.

  • 4 Ways to Expand Your Energy Levels

    Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind. My name is George Wright III, here with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. And I want to get your week started out right. So, let's start you with The quote of the day. And if you're not getting these, make sure you check us out.

    You can go to Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok. You're going to see these quote of the days every single day during the week, seven days a week. And the quote today is, “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall”. These quotes are here to be able to inspire you and remind you that It's so important for you not to give up.

    It's so important for you to continue to grow and expand and create your best life What we want to do here with the daily mastermind is every week I want to get you refocused on what's important and if you're listening to this podcast, it's probably because You're trying to create your best version of yourself and live that life that you were meant to live your best life And so this week what I'd like to do is I'd like to talk to you a little bit about your energy And this is so important because as you know, I believe our thoughts create our life And as a conscious creator of your life, you've got to dig deep into what it is you can do to expand your knowledge, your skills, and your productivity.

    You know, everything you can do inside your life. And, um, this, this idea of energy is so important. In fact, it's one of those six performance habits that Brendan Burchard talks about in his book, High Performance Habits. And he always talks about energy. And in his book, he talks about being able to release tension, bring joy.

    And get in good shape and these things will help you to create more energy in your life but I came across a good article and I really liked some of the suggestions and feedback that this article gives and it's from a gentleman by the name of Tony Schwartz who's the president and founder of the energy project in New York because I think You know, there's a couple things we need to keep in mind as the world gets more and more fast paced as we try to get more and more results out of less and less time.

    I don't know if you, you feel like me, I have this conversation all the time with people, whether it's personal, family, friends, or even business, that time just seems to be going so fast. And even though logically we all have 24 hours in a day and logically. We know that the time is that equalizing factor that all of us have.

    We all have 24 hours. The question is how are you spending it? But I want to get you thinking about something just slightly different this week. And what I want to propose to you is that the core problem with continuing to work longer hours and more You know, especially if you're, you know, you're doing something on the side or you've got a side hustle or you've got passion or you're even For example trying to expand your businesses or your investments or whatever A lot of times we feel like the solution is to work longer hours but the problem with that is that Time is just a finite resource.

    You only have so much of it. And so, it's important for you to think about the idea and I want to plant this seed with you that energy is a totally different story. Energy is not a finite resource. Energy is something that you can create, and you know, it's something that comes from what Tony Schwartz likes to call four different well springs.

    Or areas that you can generate energy. And I think it's important for us this week to talk a little bit about how you can create more energy in your mind, your body, your emotions, and your spirit. Because I think sometimes, we just feel like, man, I need more energy. I'm going to get some sleep or man; I need some more energy.

    I'm going to get more focused, but it's very important for you to understand that. You can create energy in several different ways. But it is about focusing your energy. So let's talk about this because Um, you know, Schwartz and McCarthy, a couple gentlemen that created a pretty big study at, um, Boy, I think, I'm trying to think of, I think it was Wachovia Bank, as they were expanding branches all over the, all over the country, but they gave a list of some suggestions of things you could do to create more energy.

    In your physical, your emotional, your mental, and your spiritual areas of your life. And I thought emotional energy, that's a big one because that's also a big drain. So, I'm going to give you some just hot suggestions right off the bat here, Monday morning. I'm also going to dig a little deeper into this throughout the week.

    Um, in between some of these interviews with success experts and, you know, money and business experts we have coming in. So, let's talk a little bit about this. How can you create more energy with your physical? Well, some of the suggestions that we've got is enhance your sleep by setting an earlier bedtime and reducing the use of alcohol.

    You know, so many times we don't realize that a little change in our sleep pattern is going to make a big change in our energy. You can also reduce stress by engaging in cardiovascular. If you're not working out some way, somehow, or monitoring your food intake, you're robbing yourself of energy. You're literally robbing yourself of energy.

    They also suggest smaller meals, lighter snacks every three hours. And it's important for you to identify the signs of when you're tired physically, you know, you might be yawning or feel hungry or restless, or maybe you're a little irritated. You've got to monitor your physical energy because that is one of your greatest assets that's going to help you to be successful in every area of your life.

    So do little things. Create little rituals with your physical energy. Now let's talk for a second about some suggestions on emotional energy. Because your emotions can absolutely drain you. I think we all know this. But you can diffuse negative situations, whether you're impatient, anxious, insecure, by just being aware of those.

    Those negative emotions and it's important for you to quickly diffuse those negative emotions identify them and get them get them Through right get past them. You can also learn to fuel positive emotions you know in yourself or even in people around you, you know find ways to um, you know just Express appreciation, express gratitude, learn to write notes and have conversations with people you care about.

    That's ways to fuel your positive emotions. The other thing is look at upsetting situations that you have in your life through a new lens. So, your emotions can be determined by your philosophy. So, you know, when you have something happen to you, Step back for a second and say, hey, how can I look at this a different way?

    When you do that, when you diffuse negative situations, you give fuel to positive emotions and then you relook at these circumstances through a different lens. You're going to start to build a reserve of emotional energy Which will carry you through times when you when you when you may be in some of these other areas of energy don't have it So really be conscious of your emotions this week and find ways that you can create energy or eliminate the drain of energy From your emotions because that will definitely impact your day to day now.

    Let's talk for a second about your mental energy What can you do to increase your mental energy? We talked about physical we talked about emotional now Let's talk about mental because these are different areas. You can reduce interruptions Your mental energy is completely robbed by constantly being glued to your phone, or social media, or email.

    You know, respond to those types of things, or set times aside to do that. But you may not notice it, but if you're, you know, multitasking between multiple things, your mind is going to get worn out. So, learn to kind of time block and bulk tasks, but take those... Those mental draining activities and, and, and put them into a block of time and, and, and put them off to the side.

    Also, every night, it's very important that you just identify the most important challenge or the thing that's the most important for you, even if it's difficult, that you're going to do and jump right on it first thing in the morning and get it out of the way. Make sure that you do that because it'll give you mental energy to know that you're prioritizing your tasks and you're doing what's important.

    And then let's talk for a second just now about your spiritual energy. Now what I'm talking about here is just your, your being, your state of being, your passion, your purpose for life. It's very important that you learn that that's a different type of energy you can create. And one of the best ways to do this relates to the idea of identifying and working in your sweet spot.

    Or, you've heard me say before, your unique talent, those things that you're excellent at and passionate about. Identify your sweet spot activities. Those, those are the ones that give you feelings of, you know, losing time when you get it or you get energized when you're doing things you love, right?

    Because when you're doing things you hate, it drains your actual spiritual energy. Um, so when I'm talking about this, you, you realize we talked about. Physical, your emotions in your mind, spiritual energy is like your real you, right? So, if you're doing things that you hate doing, that's going to drain you.

    It's not going to, it's not going to feed your energy, but you can learn to allocate time and energy to what you consider to be important in life. Things that are going to give you purpose and passion. Purpose and passion are the things that are going to energize you everywhere in your life. And it's important.

    And I think I've found over time, it's very important for you to live. In your core values, if you've ever done things in business or work or personal or whatever that are not in your core values, the things that you truly find the most important in your life, it's going to drain you. It's going to drain you of your energy and realize that you're evolving throughout time and you're You know, your purpose, your passion, your mission, and even your priorities are going to change.

    So make sure that you're dealing with your priorities. I've had this happen many times in my life where I know the things I want to be working on, but because I'm so busy, you know, I get shifted into things I don't want to work on. And man, it just drains you. So my message here today is this. I want you to take this throughout the week and think about this.

    One of the best resources you could do is to create and focus on generating life. You only have a finite amount of time, but all of us can expand our energy. And if you can expand your energy in your areas of your mind, your body, your spirit, and your emotions, you've got multiple, you know, uh, arsenals here that you can use to.

    Fuel your impact and your results. So that's my message for today. I hope it's something that just kind of inspires you and gets you thinking. If you wouldn't mind, please share the, the, the episode today, share it on your social media, tag me if you could. I'd love to see who's, who's out there and what you're up to.

    That's the Daily Mastermind on TikTok, or YouTube. Um, share this episode so that other people can kind of get these, these thoughts as well. I know that, um, you know, you're the average of the people you surround yourself with. So, I appreciate you being here today. I appreciate you being part of our community.

    I look forward to helping you and, uh, you know, if there's anything I can do for you, certainly reach out. I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow. Once again, my name's George Wright III and this has been the Daily Mastermind. Talk soon.

  • Uncertainty is Overcome Through Clarity
    Chris Marshal... Embrace Uncertainty: These explorers didn’t have GPS or satellite imagery. Their maps were often incomplete, based on hearsay or ancient manuscripts. Yet, they embarked on their journeys with a strong resolve. In our endeavors, whether personal or professional, we will face uncertainties. But like these sailors, we must learn to use uncertainty as a compass, guiding us towards new opportunities and learning experiences.   It truly boils down to your philosophy on uncertainty   Brendan Bruchard Clarity is key: If you are struggling with direction, uncertainty, difficulty making decision...etc...then its highly possible you lack CLARITY in your life.  So lets talk about clarity today and strategies for helping you gain more.   Clarity isn't something you HAVE...Its something you GENERATE. You generate it by asking great questions...just like your thoughts... ...who are you, what do you want, how will you get there....get the point?   Harvard Business Review listed 4 key elements entrepreneurs can use to analyze and deal with fear in business...which will help you with uncertainty...   1-Emotional self-monitoring and control. Emotional intelligence involves both awareness of one’s feelings and being able to control their influence on thought and behavior. Some of our entrepreneurs could pull this off. “If I’m in a lower mood one week and I look at my projects, I see only negative things and reasons why it can’t happen. I started to learn that that’s actually not associated with the projects, but it’s associated with my emotions,” one said. Added another, “I’ve recently been learning to separate that anxiety out because I’ve learned that it’s just transient.”   Emotional self-awareness is a skill that can be learned, and it involves becoming aware of the signs of emotions intruding upon consciousness through feelings and moods, anticipating their impact on thoughts, and using this awareness to limit their effects on decision and action. Practicing self-awareness can help curb the potent influences of negative emotions on goal setting and decision making.   2-Problem solving.  Actively seeking out flaws and weaknesses and doing something about them is a powerful means of reducing the fear of failure.  Intuition is a potent source of information, and research has demonstrated that among experts, gut instinct lead to rapid and effective decision making. Such instincts are often associated with feelings rather than specific thoughts. Feelings of fear driven by concerns over the idea, for example, can offer important signals that work is needed. When treated as such a signal and acted on, rather than being repressed or ignored, these emotional flags can help entrepreneurs eliminate weaknesses and flaws in their venture idea.   A proactive, problem-solving response to feelings of fear can help reduce fear. But our research also shows that such action tends to be inhibited when the fear is caused by doubts about the validity of the business idea. This suggests that taking a deliberately action-oriented approach, overcoming the desire to repress or ignore the problem, will be especially important. Of course, weaknesses can never be eliminated altogether. For any entrepreneur, perfectionism is potentially dangerous.   3-Learning. Entrepreneurs told us one of the ways in which they overcome the feelings of fear was through learning and information seeking. This might be for core knowledge, such as computer coding skills on the part of the software entrepreneur seeking financing, or learning to cope with the high pace of activities that most entrepreneurs experience. Some of the entrepreneurs we interviewed learned through formal education and training, although it was more common to do research, reflect, and network with experts and mentors.   Learning is a powerful antidote to fear of failure, helping to mitigate one’s doubts by increasing one’s capabilities. But uncertainty is real and constant. Uncertainty and ambiguity are defining features of the challenge of entrepreneurship. There are always unknown unknowns out there, and so a recognition that one will never have all the information one wants — that one will always have to keep learning — is important.   4-Seeking support. Reaching out to mentors who are directly related to the business you are starting is really key and really helpful.  For entrepreneurs in a constant battle with fear of failure, mentors and networks can be a vital source of reassurance. Mentors and social supports are beneficial because they support the three strategies of learning, problem solving, and self-awareness.   I sincerely hope that these strategies and thoughts will help you overcome your fear's, and most importantly get more results in your life.   Thank you so much for joining me today on the podcast and have a great weekend.   George Wright

  • Your Identity is Holding You Back
    Today I wanna talk to you about your identity...   You see I believe that most of you were being held back by what you have identified as who you are...   I believe that you're being held back by an identity that doesn't really exist... A picture or a definition of you that was created what does not represent your best version of yourself.   I want to share with you an interview did Jim Carrey dead where he talked about how he got wrapped up in plain a character in a movie so much that he realized the identity it's just something that is made up...   Then I want to share with you some ideas I'm how you can shape your identity and you can allow yourself to create a self empowering identity that will help you to take action and create the life you wanna live.   Thanks for listening to the show. Please share this episode.   George Wright III   Here is a brief from the Interview:   Mr. Carrey, have you ever had a spiritual epiphany?   Well, I have gone through a lot changes in the last few years and a lot of realizations — and I guess you could say awakenings about things. Everything is touched by that, everything I am doing creatively right now seems to point to the awareness of a lack of self. What are we? Why are we here? And the answer to both of those questions is: nothing, no reason, as far as I am concerned. It’s just about playing with form.   What do you think prompted those awakenings?   I guess just getting to the place where you have everything everybody has ever desired and realizing you are still unhappy. And that you can still be unhappy is a shock when you have accomplished everything you ever dreamt of and more and then you realize, “My gosh, it’s not about this.” And I wish for everyone to be able to accomplish those things so they can see that.   “Understanding suffering is the way to salvation because once you understand it, you have compassion, and the next thing you know, you are free.”   Is that what happened to you?   Yeah, sure. It didn’t happen to me. There is no me. But it happened. And it pushed me towards the realization there is no individual here. There are only energies.   Energies?   Yes, they’re me. They’re me talking to me — whatever they are, no matter how bad they are. I have gone through some really tough times in the last few years and I would not wish them on anybody, but my God, my understanding of life and what is real and what is not real has expanded exponentially because of that. And my ability to understand suffering, which is a valuable thing. It’s the way to salvation because once you understand it, you have compassion, and the next thing you know, you are free. So what happened after that realization was essentially a very desperate and good energy of wanting to be loved and wanting to love and wanting to create and be admired.   Is it strange to look back on your films after having had these revelations? It must be like seeing someone else entirely.   I see someone who thought they were a person, who was trying to create characters but… How can I put it? Playing Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon in 1999, for example, I realized that I could lose myself in a character. I could live in a character. It was a choice. And when I finished with that, I took a month to remember who I was. “What do I believe? What are my politics? What do I like and dislike?” It took me a while and I was depressed going back into my concerns and my politics. But there was a shift that had already happened. And the shift was, “Wait a second. If I can put Jim Carrey aside for four months, who is Jim Carrey? Who the hell is that?”   And what did you find out?   I know now he does not really exist. He’s ideas.   What do you mean?   If you want to talk scientifically, break it down to a cluster of tetrahedrons that somehow believe they are athing. But they’re ideas — just ideas. Jim Carrey was an idea my parents gave me. Irish-Scottish-French was an idea I was given. Canadian was an idea that I was given. I had a hockey team and a religion and all of these things that cobble together into this kind of Frankenstein monster, this representation. It’s like an avatar. These are all the things I am. You are not an actor, or a lawyer. No one is a lawyer. There are lawyers, law is practiced, but no one is a lawyer. There is no one, in fact, there.   So nothing is real?   You know, I think you pretty much play your part as best as you can — but no, I don’t believe this is real.   You recently started painting. Has that helped ease these changes you’ve been experiencing?   Yeah. To me, it’s just another way of creating. It happened, it was inspired by broken hearts, and I’ve had a few. It was inspired by that, by the need to express something immediately and not wait for a green light committee or a script to be perfect or any of that stuff! “Here’s an idea, I don’t even know what it means yet. I’m going to paint it. I’m going to sculpt it. And then it will tell me what it means a year from now.” It’s just a fantastic feeling.     And I’m sure it doesn’t hurt to have that work exhibited as well.   And in Vegas of all places! (Laughs) I went to the absolute antithesis of art. I want to be in places that are accessible by real people. They might not be able to afford the painting, but they can see it. I’m sure I’ll do the gallery shows and stuff, hopefully sometime… But for now, I really want people to see what it is like for an artist to immerse themselves in creation. That’s actually how Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond happened. I was talking with Spike Jonze last year about what was opening up for me… We started talking about some behind-the-scenes footage of my experience filming Man on the Moon and becoming Andy Kaufman, which we then turned into the documentary. So… I am not finding roles. They’re finding me.   Do you think that the Andy Kaufman you became for the film found some sort of happiness in the end?   I think he was happy in the moment he was creating. No one can be happy with a career. The career is whatever it is. There are ups and downs, there are temporary things that happen, energies that happen. It’s hard semantically to talk about where I am coming from sometimes but I am extremely satisfied. Right now, the feeling is that there is great appreciation and there’s great gratitude and excitement and wonder about what this is turning into. This project happened organically: the footage was born out of playfulness and mischievousness and out of honoring an artist that was very pivotal and extraordinary. So in honoring that energy, rebellion, anarchy… There is definitely a satisfaction there, but it is not mine. It just is.

  • Daily Intention is Key to Living Your Best Life

    Are you living every day with intention? I don't have any control over what actually happens except for that I have full control over my will for myself, my intention, and why I'm there. That's all that matters.   But are you...?   Wayne Dyer has a Unique Perspective "Intention is a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to this invisible force."   Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with a drive toward excellence is the way to succeed.   However, intention is viewed very differently by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer....intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. His book explores intention-not as something you do-but as an energy you're a part of.   Here are some things to keep in mind in order to be more intentional with your day:  


      I hope you will go throughout the week with clear intentions for everything that you do.   My goal with The Daily Mastermind is to continue to remind you that it's not too late to start living your best life.   Thanks for listening, and I'll see you tomorrow. George Wright III
