info_outlineIn my latest episode, I discuss turning off the noise that we allow into our minds daily to improve our mental bandwidth.
Allowing persistent distractions to consume your daily focus will hinder your progress in life, so as high performers, we need to take control of it.
The “system” doesn't want you to be extraordinary, and as warriors and leaders, it is our job first to lead ourselves and then to set an example for those around us.
If this resonates with you or someone you know, remember: While you may not be to blame for being shaped this way, the choice to remain unchanged lies with you.
