Choose Your Upgrade

The Obstacle
We will automatically get older
We will NOT automatically get better.
Days are full
Booked
Every minute accounted for.
When spare time arrives
We just want to relax
Take it easy.
We have obligations
Families
Children
Sports
Priorities
Chores.
Destiny feels chosen
Our path written
Without a vote
We are busy being and doing
Change is happening to us
Not because of us.
We do not get a choice.
The Gift and Opportunity
Most days are full
We do have many obligations
Finding time is difficult
Everything is a sacrifice
One thing for another
Time for time
Life for life.
We can choose our next upgrade
What we want to become..
Faster
Run more
Stronger
Lift more
More skilled
Practice more
Better relationships
Choose reactions
Better performance
Recalibrate time, attention, and energy
Be happier
Enjoy the process not the goal.
We can choose how to upgrade ourselves
Imagine who to become
Set intentions and actions
Do consistently.
It’s simple but not easy
There is not much time but there is enough.
Choose your upgrade.
The Practice of Self-Mastery
• Notice change is happening without your vote
• Choose your upgrades deliberately
• Sacrifice
• Act consistently to become
CHEAT CODE: NOTICE THE DEFAULT → CHOOSE THE UPGRADE → TRADE TIME FOR TIME → ACT CONSISTENTLY → BECOME
