"There was nothing in that work that fed my soul and I can remember... I just felt like my soul was dying"
~Roz
Roz Savage holds a law degree from Oxford, is a Yale World Fellow, a Guinness World Record Holder, and the only woman to have rowed across three oceans: The Atlantic, Pacific and Indian (in that order).
Yet, Roz spills her guts in this candid interview about being a "recovering management consultant" terribly unhappy chasing a three-car garage and professional career, all while she sensed her "soul was dying."
Out of desperation and a great sense of urgency, "while there was still a soul left to shrivel," she dives into the world of self-help/personal development and comes across Covey's great work, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
She is struck by Habit #2, which is: "Begin with the end in mind," so she does exactly that by writing two versions of her obituary, one as if nothing were to change and the other as if she had led her ideal life.

"The mind is for having ideas not holding them." ~David Allen
How often do you write down your thoughts? Do you have a system for doing so?
Season IV is finally here and Martin breaks down Allen's profound insight in today's MBM (Mind Bullet Monday). His point; the best use of our minds is for creating new ideas but NOT for holding them.
Note: There is an added bonus when we write our ideas down... can you guess what it is?

"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing." ~Socrates
How much do you value the unknown? How much do you appreciate what you do not know?
Rumi - the great Sufi mystic put it this way. "Sell your cleverness and purchase bewilderment." And, Lao Tzu the great Chinese philosopher said, “To know that you do not know is true knowledge. To think you know when you do not is a disease. Recognizing this disease as a disease is to be free of it.”
So, Socrates put it one way, Lao Tzu and Rumi another!
On the cusp of Season IV, (BE SURE TO VOTE FOR THE NEW COVER ART HERE! It takes just two clicks!!) This "bridge" episode challenges the listener to embrace the unknown.
"Not knowing can be incredibly liberating and lead you to a place of trust and faith."
Rather than being totally self-defeating, learning to appreciate and accept what you don't know can take you to a place of powerful humility.
The smartest most logical people in the world ultimately, run up again the unknown. Logic is built upon and founded upon what was once unknown and seemingly illogical.

"Be like water..." ~Bruce Lee
[STEP #9, MASTERY, in this BREAKTHROUGH mini-series, "How to Make 2018 Your Best, Breakthrough New Year Ever!"]
Step #9 = The Mastery Mindset!
Step #1: Decide
Step #2: Assess
Step #3: Values, Mission and Vision
Step #4: Passion & Purpose
Step #5: Energy & Enthusiasm
Step #6: GOALS!
Step #7: HABIT! HABIT! HABIT!
Step #8: HabitStrength™
When you think about the concept of "mastery" what comes to mind?
Martin begins this show reviewing that invariably, after you go through each of the first 8 steps, you will come upon OBSTACLES.
It's the true Master who regards obstacles as simply opportunities in disguise.
Recall, that there are three great constants in life; change, choice and principles.
Therefore the idea of mastery as a destination— an arrival point— can only be an illusion.
If change is a constant, and it is, the idea of perpetual learning to become a "master" is essential.
In this episode Martin recaps the very traits essential to the Mastery Mindset and even takes his cue from an unlikely source, H2O.
The mastery mindset encapsulates a lot of ideas, including; the "beginner's mind" OR the idea that "every day is day one".
The real master never arrives and is therefore, always arriving.
"Every day is day one." ~Kelly Slater

"Discipline is a habit. GRIT is a habit. The more good behaviors you can habituate the less you will need to rely on willpower."
[STEP #8, (week #8) in the BREAKTHROUGH mini-series, "How to Make 2018 Your Best, Breakthrough New Year Ever!"]
Step #OCHO = HabitStrength!!
Step #1: Decide
Step #2: Assess
Step #3: Values, Mission and Vision
Step #4: Passion & Purpose
Step #5: Energy & Enthusiasm
Step #6: GOALS!
Step #7: HABIT! HABIT! HABIT!
And, now we delve into... part deux of Habit; HabitStrength!
Think about habit development just like muscle development. It isn't about a set number of days, it's about a process and the P.A.R.R. process/method we covered in the last episode.
People don't go to the gym and ask, "How long will it take to develop my biceps?"
No. They start with 15lbs and curl that weight until within a few weeks it feels light (they get stronger) so they up the weight to 20lbs then 25, 30, 35lbs, etc.
Each successive week of planning, acting, recording and reassessing helps to develop the muscle and coincidentally the related HABIT.
This is how one creates automaticity (a stronger habit) so you do not have to rely on willpower from one day to the next.
Repeat after me: DISCIPLINE is a HABIT. GRIT is a Habit.
"Habit is second nature, or rather, ten times nature." William James
