Most of us have been playing the performance game our entire lives - you identify people or metrics to match up against, set goals based on the matchups, and work your hardest to hit those goals. You’re already familiar with the rules of the game, because they are literally everywhere we turn: run faster, work longer, push harder, repeat until you win. Most high performers have mastered the rules of the performance game - a/k/a The Grind, The Hustle, The Rat Race, etc. - and excel at it.

The truly elite individuals in every field aren’t playing the performance game. They are simply doing what they are meant to do, and being who they are meant to be. Success and joy are inevitable. The process of growth matters more than the outcomes (spoiler alert: the outcomes still happen, and are way more exciting), and success doesn’t feel empty or like “okay…is this really it? Is this all there is?”

You have the potential to open the doorway to opportunities for living life at a level that you never knew was possible.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not.
