Brian Johnson says uncertainty and misaligned plans are normal parts of growth, not failure. Clarity about priorities matters, but so does accepting the mess. Use a protocol to protect your emotional stamina when things get hard.
Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Optimize plus one. In our last couple ones, we talked about the art and science of lining up our dominoes in one neat and shiny staircase to moon heaven. It all sounds so nice and easy when it's mapped out like that, huh? But alas, there are a few important asterisks to that little story. Now, as important as it is to have clarity on what's important and worthy of our life force, nothing is ever quite that straightforward in real heroic living. And of course, it's impossible to line up all the dominoes and see them perfectly arrayed before you actually start the journey. And that's today's plus one. Embrace the mess. It's a feature of the hero's journey, not a sign that something's wrong with you and your approach per se. And remember, the the greater the challenge, the greater the need for a protocol to keep our emotional stamina optimized. That is all. Here's to joyfully embracing the wonderfully messy process of optimizing and actualizing, Especially when you don't feel like it. High fives from me and my Daimon to you and yours. P.S. let's do this.
