Today was a landmark day for me and believe it or not it was for you too! Its no mistake you are here reading this and it is no mistake what I am writing about will speak to you. We are at a pivotal point in our country and NOW is the time for those who have an idea, or a 'next level' or something they know they should do, TO DO IT.
There are world-changers out there with a fire to do great things and I believe if you are reading this you are one of them. And to do your great thing, you have to be a GREAT YOU.
The only way for you to be as sharp as you need to be and give what you need to give is to get your personal house in order. There is no other way! And the real kicker is NOBODY can do what you were put here to do. And you know it.
So in the parable about the goose who laid the golden egg, the moral of the story is usually greed. I believe there is another moral and its that you are reading this because your have a golden egg to produce. Whether that is a business to start or grow, or a family to start or grow or an education to start or grow, you have something to produce and that is YOUR golden egg.
In the story, the farmer's wife kills the goose to get ALL the golden eggs at once. Most high performers do a version of this with the schedule they keep, and the way they treat the goose, THEMSELVES. If you had a goose that laid golden eggs, would you not feed it the best food in town and make sure it had ALL the nutrients? Would you not monitor its sleep and make sure it wasn't over stressed and it had the right exercise to be its most healthy to live a long time? OF COURSE YOU WOULD!
A tired malnourished stressed out goose is what we accept for ourselves, and my purpose today is to inspire you to take at least 1 step in the direction of taking better care of YOU, so that you can begin to feel like doing what you need to do.
