The Surpisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results

was extremely compromised, and the challenge to overcome this was
daunting. My doctor gave me some options and asked me what I
wanted to do. The answer was to change my health habits. It was then
that I discovered one of the greatest lessons of extraordinary results:
Personal energy mismanagement is a silent thief of productivity.
When we keep borrowing against our future by poorly protecting
our energy, there is a predictable outcome of either slowly running
out of gas or prematurely crashing and burning. You see it all the
time. When people don’t understand the power of the ONE Thing,
they try to do too much—and because this never works over time,
they end up making a horrific deal with themselves. They go for
success by sacrificing their health. They stay up late, miss meals or
eat poorly, and completely ignore exercise. Personal energy becomes
an afterthought; allowing health and home life to suffer becomes
acceptable by default. Driven to hit goals, they think of cheating
themselves as a good bet, but this gamble can’t pay off. Not only does
this approach consistently short-circuit your best work, it’s dangerous
to assume that health and hearth will be just waiting for you to come
back and enjoy anytime in the future.
High achievement and extraordinary results require big energy.
The trick is learning how to get it and keep it.
So, what can you do? Think of yourself as the amazing biological
machine you are and consider this daily energy plan for high
productivity. Begin early with meditation and prayer for spiritual
energy; starting the day by connecting with your higher purpose
aligns your thoughts and actions with a larger story. Then move
straight to the kitchen for your most important meal of the day and
the cornerstone of physical energy: a nutritious breakfast designed to
fuel your day’s work. You can’t run long on empty calories, and you
can’t run at all on an empty tank. Figure out easy ways to eat right
and then plan all your daily meals a week at a time.
Fueled up, head to your exercise spot to relieve stress and
