There's a moment when a "Pop!" occurs inside one's awareness. No not a blood vessel or shoulder dislocation, but the suddenness of it and the pain to get your attention is much the same. The "Bullshit Story" I am referring to needs no introduction. It is the one you know, and I don't even have to pin point it. You know it through and through. I've got one too! In fact, I've got a couple running in the background as an unconscious part of my central operating system. It is like a HVAC system, it's always on, but we don't have a minute by minute awareness of it. However, as time goes on. I am no longer comfortable as to where I set the meter. It now bugs me. It pisses me off! Scratch that! I'm fucking mad as hell as to what I have accepted as my comfort zone! The rub is, you get what you tolerate! Is this landing for you? Do get where I am coming from? Can you pin point the exact level you've set your own thermostat at? Here's why it should piss you off like it does me. It's your higher self, your big vision, goals, dreams and potential calling you forward. God is calling you to fulfil your purpose and BE the Remarkable Man (as you define him) that you know you are suppose to be. This has very little to do with how successful you are or aren't. It has everything to do with who you are BEING. Are you using your natural gifts and talents? Are you moving and fuelling your body like it was built for? Are you the example, mentor, or role model that others can learn from? Are you creating a legacy that you and your children would be proud of? There's a lot to unpack here, but if you are being triggered by the discomfort or enormity of your role or just how small you've chosen to play...Good! This post was meant to trigger you because your higher self needed you to read this. It is literally telling you, "See! This is what I have been trying to get you to understand! But you are so F'n stubborn, lazy and too busy playing the victim to hear me. So I am possessing Coach Dwayne right now so he'll write this post!"

I'm not talking about someone's perception of you and how much they wold pay you. I'm referring to how much you value your own time? I was recently listening to one of my favourite mentors, Ed Mylett, and was talking about how everything changed for him once he started to value his time. It was an interesting listen because I got a revelation that was surprising to me. You see, I thought I valued my time a lot. However, recent habits, distractions, and lack of discipline in using my systems told me a different story. I realized there are still deep holes in my productivity and and how I structure my day. Yes, I have a schedule and Yes I have put systems in place to keep me on track, but I have to tell you, my inner saboteur, can get me off my game quickly. Social media being the biggest distraction. It knows what gets me pissed off and "passionate" about world events. It's like it likes to poke the bear and test me to see how detached and focused I can be. Ai is another rabbit hole too! That's why I am writing this "analog style", meaning I'm writing old school with my own fingers typing directly what's on my mind. Brother, we all have the same ticks on the clock. Whether it is Elon Musk, Alex Hormozi or Ed Mylett. They all have the same 24 hours in a day. And as the Remarkable Man that you are, you've got to get more intentional with your day. And yes, the excuses have to go! Remember this is a letter to me as much as it is for you. So I want to challenge you to chunk down your days. Rise one hour earlier, get your work out in or your meditation time in. When are you most productive? Then double down during that time. I'm writing this at 2 PM. This is my second long form article of the day because this is my creative time and I am in the zone! I cannot stop creating until 3PM. Then I will switch gears and record a video. You know yourself better than anyone. What does your day have to look like for you to have a victory 3 times a day? Then set yourself up so that you prioritize those victories. After I post this article...That's a victory!
