When an idea becomes your obsession and purpose, and it is highly personal to you, then you can take that idea and quickly turn it into a reality.
Ideas can only truly catch hold if they are embedded within a deeply emotional experience that reshapes how you view your identity and purpose in life.

Turning ideas into reality

“To discern what is truly essential we need space to think, time to look and listen, permission to play, wisdom to sleep, and the discipline to apply highly selective criteria to the choices we make.”

Comparing yourself to others (those at the top of the industry), being inspired by someone and learning from their mastery is essential to learning and growth. Mimicry, however, is a very bad thing.Study the best examples and understand what worked out for them so you can quickly innovate and evolve beyond that. Don’t be an imitator. Be an innovator.

Comparisons and mimicry 

You begin making changes to your environment and relationships that reflect the old you and old vision.Your environment, language, behavior, and life begin to quickly reshape themselves to match the new reality you’ve spiritually and emotionally created.

Forcing yourself forward

These are the keys to discovering what is possible and what is out there. You don’t know what you don’t know. You must be exposed to new universes to realize it’s possible to expand far beyond the current sphere in which you are.

Exploration and searching

Whether you’re currently winning or losing in life — you will quickly adapt to your circumstances. The brain needs novelty to thrive, otherwise, it quickly becomes stale.The worst thing you can do is to focus most of your energy and thought on maintaining your current position or protecting your current status.

Adapting to our circumstances

As you begin to map out the possibilities (in the form of various role-models from multiple domains), you begin to crystallize and clarify your personal 'Why'.You’ll be able to have concrete concepts to point to in explaining what matters to you, where you’re going, and how you’re going to do it.

Conceptualizing your new ‘why’

“You never change things by fighting against the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”

“There are only three requirements for success. First, decide exactly what it is you want in life. Second, determine the price that you are going to have to pay to get the things you want. And third, and this is most important, resolve to pay that price."

“Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.”

<ul><li>You must believe the reward (the ‘WHY’) of a particular goal is important, meaningful, and compelling.</li><li>You must believe that you know how (clear strategies/plans/people) to achieve your goal.</li><li>You must believe that you can execute the plans, strategies, and pivoting involved in achieving the goal.</li></ul>

3 steps for extreme levels of motivation

Every time you step into growth, you’ll experience an increase in complexity and chaos. Growth is the process of taking something complex and making it simple. This is how you grow. You step into chaos and create simplicity and knowingness.

Stepping into growth

The only way to get to the next level is by letting go of who you’ve been. The longer you hold on, the smaller your thinking will be.Don’t get stuck where you were. Be willing to banish the past, no matter how great, for a better future.

Detaching from prior success

"Nothing can resist a human will that will stake its existence on a purpose." - Benjamin Disraeli There's a shift that must happen within. Something clicks-in and your brain and biology can never go back. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions."
