Micro Class - Intention + Diligence + 1,300 3 Pointers

You're listening to Optimize with Brian Johnson. More wisdom in less time. Hi, this is Brian. Another micro class. This one's on intention plus diligence plus 1303 pointers. It's inspired by the Mindful Athlete. Secrets to Pure Performance. George Mumford, philosopher's note, Bunch of big ideas. We'll have a link to that below. George Mumford tells us that intention is extraordinarily important. Elite athletes have a very, very clear sense of what they want. And they have a very high self efficacy, self confidence belief that they can create what they want. And they're also willing to put in the effort. So the questions for you are, what do you want? What do you want in your life? Get clear on that. Do you believe you can have it again? Elite performers believe they can have pretty much anything they want. If he says this is a very big if, if they're willing to pay the price. What price do you need to pay for that thing you want? It's not a particularly complicated equation, but we need to spend the time getting clear on the intention, then getting clear on what we need to do. I often draw this in my journal that represents intention for me. And then I draw this little symbol which represents impeccability. I happen to have that tattooed on my right wrist that represents self mastery, impeccability, the willingness to do what needs to get done whether you feel like it or not. You put those two things together, you have a pretty strong philosophy. Clear intention, clear impeccability, willing to do what it takes, however long it takes, you can do some pretty exciting things. So back to intelligent intention, diligence and 1303 pointers. So George Mumford coached Kobe Bryant. Here's Kobe Bryant. He also coached Michael Jordan. Number of other great people. Kobe. Hi. Kobe decided he wanted to be an extraordinary three point shooter, Right. So he's clear on what he wants. What does he want? Kobe wants to be an extraordinary three point shooter. Is he willing to pay the price for it? Well, yeah, of course. He just decided, what's the price? And he decided the price was he was going to make 1300 three pointers. That's a hoop, as you can tell, I'm sure. Here's his ball. He is going to put that ball in that hoop for 1300 times. Not in the off season. Every day of the off season. 1300 Three Pointers is the price he decided he would pay. And he in fact did pay as he optimized that part of his life. So back to you. What do you want? What price you need to pay. Let's go out and have fun paying it. Hope you enjoyed. Look forward to sharing more soon. Hi, this is Brian. I hope you enjoyed that micro class.
