I am often told that I need to slow down in my life, but the frank fact of the matter is that the reality is, if you want to play in my game, you better speed up so you can keep up. Not being willing to slow down is how expansion occurs within my life, and something that I expect from any hot hose that choose to roll with me in the way I live my life. I'm not going to slow down so that others feel comfortable being around me. I will not apologize for the commitment that I have to bring about the financial prosperity that I have created in my life. I am well aware that in many areas of my life, I am still a small goldfish looking to keep up with Great White Sharks, but I would never ask those sharks to slow down so that I can keep up with them. Instead, I ask myself, "Who do I have to become in order to keep up with the big fish in the sea?" I have to learn how to keep up with them, and expect no less from those that operate around me.

A little known fact by many is that my wife has extremely strong toes. She accompanied me on today's podcast and admitted that the reason for this is most likely due to laziness on her part. She'd be asked to pick something up, and she found that by lifting it up with her toes (which are slightly webbed, by the way....also a little known fact) she didn't have to expel as much energy to get shit done. I also share something about my own toes in today's Daily Fuel by learning a new technique while surfing (come on, you have to admit that you're not one bit surprised that surfing is behind my insight today), and that by pushing off the ledge of my board while working on my duck dive I was able to have a significant improvement diving into the waves. Through laziness, some of our greatest skills are exposed. Putting into practice that which is theory creates a whole new experience that also takes away the fear factor in order to gain a new outcome due to new perspectives. For my wife, her laziness in picking shit up led to incredible strength in her toes. For me, learning a new technique in how I surf continues to enhance my experience and joy for the sport.

I enjoyed Cabo over the weekend with my wife, learning all about reform waves that I hit with an Australian buddy of mine that we met up with during our trip. I learned that when it comes to reform waves, I have to do the opposite in order to catch a wave on my board, going straight down the wave doing reps. Regardless of what new area it is within our lives, new environments require new knowledge. If you're not in a new environment that requires new knowledge, I'm going to have you consider that you're dying, because you're not allowing yourself to grow. For me, that equals death. I would rather go into a new environment and suck at it because I'm starting out as a rookie (we are all rookies when we first start out). There are new problems and lessons to be learned, regardless of how much knowledge we had beforehand, and the only way we can accomplish growth is in taking the time to learn. Every day, if we suck less than we did the day before, we know we're truly living.

While out surfing with Coach Mo, he told me that it's better to be on the next big wave and have it all to myself than to be on the best wave and fight 20-25 others guys for it. As with everything in my life, surfing has taught me a great life lesson about learning how to calm down when shit doesn't go my way. I was missing one wave after another, getting angrier and angrier at the waves, which then made my technique completely fall apart and I got worse and worse. So, I sat on my board and for 5 minutes, focused on calming down my breath, out there in the ocean. The more calm I got, the more power I had on the waves when I went back to finish out my surf session. Sometimes the greatest strength we can show is by learning how to calm the fuck down.

I could feel a bit of a head cold coming on, but that doesn't mean that I slow down in what I expect to produce each day. I don't slow down, regardless of whether or not obstacles such as sickness are thrown at me, like the snot in the back of my throat. This is an example of the resistance that gets in our way that prevents us from getting what we need to get done. I'm going to have you consider that the individuals that succeed in life despite setbacks are those that are willing to keep going. You don't have to go fast....just don't go slow.
