Five Attributes You Can Work On To Live The High Performance Life

No long stories... Here it is:

(1) Clarity: This remains the bedrock of living your best life. It's a simple and clear, if you know what you want, you'll have capacity to ask (and you will receive), to seek (and you'll find) and to knock on the right door (and it will be opened for you).

Without clarity, you'll compare yourself unnecessarily. Without clarity, everything outside of you looks better. Without clarity, you cannot focus and gain speed.

Go for clarity before the year runs out!

Say this: 2020, this is me, this is what I will execute. This and this I am doing.

Have clarity for 5 years, 10 years and your entire life time also.

I digress a bit...

I advice you plan WITHIN what you have power to accomplish that has the power to create a new reality which gives you infinite possibilities.

DON'T plan things you cannot execute. STAY on things you can do, as many of them as possible, that can lead to things you dream of.

DON'T get stuck in the "only if I had this or that"...

Executed plans birth new seasons

(2) Courage: Another word for it? GUTS!

To live your best life, you must have courage.

See, the sweet life you desire won't be given to you on a platter. You'll have to dare the devil! You'll have to decide to fight every iota of smallness, unworthiness, shyness, fear, timidity and every kind of psychological limitation.

Courage means "do it anyway, but with conviction and a hypothesis at hand".

There's no point engaging courage when the outcome is settled. You don't need courage to sit on a chair.

You need courage when all you have is faith (conviction) and a hypothesis (something unproven to you by experience, even if others say it works).

Going forward. You must creatively and actively work on your courage. You need courage to insist, and you need insistence to win!

(3) Power: Power is generic... it is the ability to do work.

In my short life, I have seen that beyond desire and good intention... without power, the very ability to get stuffs done, all is WASTE.

Knowledge (information) without an engagement of it is as powerless as the paper or device holding the information.

You need physical strength... hence you must take your health seriously. Study your body with the aim to improve.

You need mental power. You can be strong physically but be tired in the mind and not have the fortitude to work... I know you've been there at some points. So much to do, but having no psychological energy to push through...

All these are very highly hinged on spiritual power!

Point blank, you need spiritual power if you desire to do anything beyond normal; fortunately or unfortunately, the High Performance life is NOT a normal life... it is a heightened life... A dominating life... You need power!

It is this power that charges you up mentally and physically (alongside other things you do to yourself to be fit and sound, laws of life).

GO FOR POWER! Create a plan to have power and be full of energy always. You need to have a system for this. Often times, information systems help. Prayer is an effective power-up tool as well.

(4) Productivity: The very next attribute is your productivity.

To be productive is to be (or possess the capacity to create items which are) needed and useful to the society, especially those at the highest levels of productivity themselves.

You must also seek to be efficient (maximizing resources) and effective (meeting objective outcomes) in all you do.

Your productivity quotient is simply about managing resources to produce meaningful and useful outcomes.

Pursue independent productivity, even if you work for an employer. Know how what you do makes or saves the company or body some money, time, and other resources. Get even more efficient.

Today, 2020, and moving forward, you must develop your productivity capacity.

You must learn how to maximize yourself in a contextual way.

(5) Influence: Your best life will come with you becoming influential... whether you like it or not. To ignore influence is to COMPLETELY DENOUNCE high performance!

I'm sorry if you didn't plan to be popular, but if high performance and living your best life is your desire, then INFLUENCE is something you need understudy and build upon.

Think of it, if you're the highest performing staff in your office, what do you think that will come with? You really think nobody will know you?

Or have you been deceiving yourself?

The day you joined this community [The High Performers Network, where it was originally shared] was the day you decided that you want to be a superstar in this life!

And there's nothing wrong with being a superstar, so long as the pursuit doesn't topple anyone, but raises an inspires a people following.

As a rising High Performer, you are going to be influential!

PREPARE FOR INFLUENCE. Don't run from it. The more you run, the less you perform!

Accept the fact that you'll be the centre of discussion in many circles, critics and fans.

Today, 2020, and going forward: play the influence game! Be intentional. Improve your capacity to lead. Improve your communication skill. Improve your appearance and perception. Improve your positioning in the minds of people!

And there you have it. Five Attributes: Clarity, Courage, Power, Productivity and Influence.

From today, I want you to live your best life, playing a much bigger game than you've ever played before!

Cheers to good success!
