Watch Dr. Howard Dennis walk through the complete clarity framework that's transforming lives.
Here's something that might surprise you: giving 100% isn't always the answer.
If you're giving 100% but you're burned out, irritable, frazzled, and depleted, that's not a healthy way to move forward. But if you're paced, poised, peace-centered, and giving 60% while maintaining your health and well-being - that's exactly what we want.
This is the foundation of true high performance: clarity with intentionality .
Recently, I was on a call with Lewis Howes and Brendon Burchard - two of the most respected voices in high performance. They were discussing clarity, and Brendon issued a powerful challenge that I want to pass on to you:
Write this down: "My depletion era is over."
Get out your journal right now. Write those words. Because what we're about to dive into will help you create immediate, behavior-driven clarity and intentionality in your life.
Before we get to the four transformational questions, I want you to think about these 10 areas of your life:
As we go through these four questions, consider each of these areas. This is about getting clear on what your best self looks like in every arena of your life.
This is your foundation. What are you absolutely sure about? What gives you confidence and direction? Write it down. These are your strengths to build upon.
Be honest here. Where do you feel lost or confused? These aren't weaknesses - they're opportunities for growth and clarity.
Your values are your compass. They guide every decision and determine your priorities. Get crystal clear on what matters most to you.
What is bigger than you that you want to accomplish? What's worth fighting for? What's worth loving for? This is your driving force, your reason for pushing through challenges.
Brendon shared something powerful about working with Olympic athletes. Many of them don't have full confidence, but they get clear about who they want to be, and then they get on the field and give it their all with full effort and conviction.
That's what I'm asking you to do today. Get on the field of life. Give it your all. Be better.
Here's my challenge for you: commit to dealing with irritability and pressure better. This is something I'm committed to as well. When we can handle the irritability and pressure in our lives better, we resonate at a higher level.
Remember: If you want more, become more.
It's about being a better spouse, parent, sibling, professional - whatever your mission is, do it better.
Here's what I want you to do: Double down on your high points. What do you know most in life? What are you really clear about? Focus there. Give it your all.
Then, drop the things that don't matter. The endless scrolling, the overeating, the not moving your body - cut that out. Commit to eliminating what's not serving you.
Ask yourself:
Don't make the mistake of just reading this and moving on. Get out your journal. Answer these four questions honestly. Write down what's important to you. Double down on your strengths and eliminate what's not serving you.
Your clarity creates your reality. The time for depletion is over. The time for intentional, purposeful living starts now.
