Keep working…

Every day I invest my time and energy in trying to simplify the complexity around the process of becoming BTL. I am trying to follow Einstein’s advice of making things as simple as possible without ignoring his exhortation to “Never moreso.” Toward that aim, I offer a nuance that might help you. This rant is written exclusively to BTL clients that have built their CORE, authored their OPUS and have commited to the productive action (PA) that makes their dreams a reality.

Remember, your PA is aimed at two targets – strengthening your CORE and living out your OPUS. When you discover PA you want to routinize, list it at the top of your PoP and title it PD. Great work requires productive disciplines of your own making. Discovering your PD and displaying it prominently for your eyes to see will be illuminating and energizing. Allow yourself this luxury. You’ve earned it. Make sense?

Great lives are lived, I believe, by humans with clarity who act consistently because they’ve aligned PD with their CORE and OPUS while continuing to experiment with new PA that might be the berries they’ve just not yet tasted. The magic comes when you discover your bolt on disciplines, your PD, and don’t STOP. Only the few keep experimenting when they find a working recipe. Only the few develop the humility to remain open and curious when they think they’ve figured it out. Only the few share openly their struggle and accept help from a friend. Only the few tell themselves “keep working.”

Each of you are challenged with authoring and owning all this for you. At BTL, we hope it makes sense and are happy to help in any way we can. As of this writing no easy button has been discovered. My advice to myself, family, friends, and clients is to embrace the mantra “keep working.” Keep working and keep building. As I told a tiring durp early this morning when his little twigs were starting to talk back at about mile 48 – keep working, friend. Keep working. Good…
