+1: How to Be a Success | Wisdom from Two World-Class Coaches Named Phil (#1280)

You're listening to Optimize with Bryan Johnson. More wisdom in less time.

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Optimize plus one. In our last plus one, we drew some VIN circles with my Yota and had fun high fiving God by giving all we've got. Today I want to chat about what we talked about at the very end of our time together on August 10, 2020. After recapping the importance of showing up moment to moment to moment, to keep my soul force powered by divine energy, Phil said almost in a mantra kind of way, apply this. Apply this. Apply this. I remember writing it down. It was one of those goose bumpy kind of moments. Apply this. Apply this. I wrote it down in huge letters on the third page of that day's notes and then I said yes. Then I said, it's funny because tomorrow morning I'm hitting the studio to film the very last session for our mastery series for our coach program. It's called Module seven, but we also call it module infinity, as in repeat this forever. It's called Optimist practicing your philosophy and the whole point of that class. We need to apply this wisdom to our lives today. So I told Phil I'm definitely going to share our chat as I make that point. Then he said, I love you son. I'm proud of you. To which I replied, I love you father. I appreciate you. You will miss even just saying that. As we've discussed, Phil is my spiritual godfather. I'm his spiritual son. We end nearly every one of our chats with that little exchange, which is pure eudaimonic joy for me. And as I reflected on his mantra, apply this, I felt an even deeper commitment to making him proud and serving you and my family as profoundly as I can. Now, that was at 5:50pm Central Time and I had 10 minutes to go before I transitioned to deep love time and gave Alexandra some time for herself while I enjoyed my PM session of 1 on 2 time with the kids. Now, I don't do non essential technology inputs these days as I've minus 1 to 1 ed it for the plus 3 win, which is one of the reasons I'm crushing it. Check out the plus one on that. So I hopped on our PEMF machine and plugged in the nanov thing to recover while meditating. At six o' clock I headed out of the office and the house was quiet, which if you have kids, you know, is a very unusual thing. Hmm. The car wasn't there. Alexandra must have taken the kids out, so I might have Dashed back to the office, hopped back on the pemf, replugged in the nanov, and had a little dessert. Watching some more of Netflix's great documentary on Michael Jordan and his Bulls called the Last Dance. Highly recommend it. It's awesome. Now, at this point, I'm on episode five. The Bulls have just won their first championship. They're going for their second. I wait for the show to load and it takes a second or three as I'm on satellite Internet here in the country, which always gives me a moment to reflect on the fact that this whole thing we call the Internet and everything else in modern life is an absolute miracle. Internal dialogue. Thank you, God for blessing me with the gift of so many awesome things. Then the show loads. I'm literally 10 seconds in, Phil Jackson, one of the greatest coaches in history who won six titles with the Bulls, then another five with the Lakers comes on and you know what he says? He says, and I quote, you're only a success in the moment. You perform a successful act, you have to do it again. I was like, what? Did he just say what I think he said? I hit the little rewind 10 seconds thing to watch it again. Yep, you're only a success in the moment you perform a successful act, then you have to do it again. I rewind it again and go get my pad of paper to write that down because I knew I'd be kicking off my final Mastery series session with wisdom from two world class coaches named Phil. Phil Jackson has his 11 championships. Phil Stutts and his clients, who tend to be Hollywood actors and writers and directors and executives, have way more than 11 Oscars. So when two coaches named Phil say the same thing back to back like that, I take it as a divine wink from the universe and, well, that's today's plus one. One more time. You're only a success in the moment. You perform a successful act, you have to do it again. All the stuff we chat about that really resonates. Apply this, apply this, apply this. When you know the drill. As always, let's do it today.
