I’ve talked extensively about how I think the true definition of toughness is being able to keep a level head when chaos strikes. But something that I think is lost on a lot of people is the way to get there.
I read a quote once that a lot of people act like there’s 23 hours in the day, space they rush and rush and do things as if they’re running out of time.
When in fact the best leaders act like there’s 25 hours in the day.
This means that they are able to move with relaxation able to move with calmness and when things get challenging they have that extra hour on top of everybody else.
Just think if you had an extra hour in your day how would you act. Would you still rushed to the store? would you still get stressed out when you’re late would you still worry about making it home on time? No probably not.
So for me, even when things get challenging or things get worrisome or even when I’m not sure what to do. I try and think that there’s 25 hours in the day, I try and think that I have plenty of time to figure it out.
more often than not, stress does nothing but make situations worse. Stress makes us make poor decisions, stress makes us lash out, stress can even make us forget about the priority. When we’re stressed out we aren’t our best selves. For me personally a major reason I get stressed out is because I feel like I’m running out of time. Which is kind of dumb if I’m being honest, I’m 22 I have a lot of time in front of me I have my whole life in front of me I’m being honest.
But the tricky thing about all this is that when it really comes down to it I feel pressured into this certain way because of life or this or that.
I know this is been more of a mosh bit of thoughts today but if you been falling along I’m trying to write one of these and publish it every day, I thought on toughness or leadership. I like to end them with a question of the day, something that I’ll get you thinking a little bit more than usual hopefully. So today’s question goes like this
what’s something you can do tomorrow morning that set your day up for success? It could be stretching, it could be journaling, it could be anything.
