Build this discipline, first…

Feedback will become an epidemic in your system the moment you decide to embrace the discipline of asking for it. Build this discipline, my friend. This is why we build the CORE, first as a habit. You gotta know what to attach the feedback to and what to run it through and what to kick to the curb. Your CORE serves as such a matrix, but only if you’ve built it beforehand. Build your CORE and then your discipline of feedback to make yourself even better. Don’t mix ’em up. Today, during practice 61, we danced in the fourth essential – build your discipline.

Wanta build new and better disciplines? Here’s the best way to build bolt on kinda disciplines – disciplines you own. Go back to essential ONE and get busy owning your six pack. Build your worldview, identity, and principles. Author your passions, purposes, and process. Clarity within will come. Beliefs and behaviors will slowly align. Confidence and real resolve will be your result. Very cool.

We wrapped up practice by writing what we learned. Jimmy said we gotta get in the mindset of asking for it. Amen. Stivo said crawl before you walk. Look at how the baby gets feedback from adults. She laid out the baby step formula. Listen like babies, she continued. Frankee said rewire one thing at a time if you want to become closer to ONE. Andrew liked the pick something and focus. Liz reminded us to not rely on talent alone. And, focus on one thing at a time. 

I reminded you that when you get really strong within you will have the humility and the courage to ask for more. And, when you give some feedback, even some really tough stuff, your intended target will feel like you’ve made them “more” not less. The strongest don’t make the weak feel less. The strongest make us want to be stronger. Cam connected these dots and his eyes told me he believed in the connection.

Today, a team of fourteen got stronger by working together and recovering some ground they had already plowed. The greatest teams go back to build mastery. The same is true for individuals. The enemy is our addiction for the new. Go back and build within, my friend. Only the strong, remember, seek feedback like a banchee. Feedback is the breakfast of champions. Few are strong enough to eat it up.

Be ONE...
