Playing the Long Game

Full commitment and dedication to your current chapter and pursuit is critical, a non-negotiable for peak performance, but it is also not enough. Despite how all encompassing and intense the present journey may feel, it is only a small portion of the tapestry and narrative that will make up your life. Ultimately, the most impactful humans are those who are able to connect the dots between what the present experience teaches them at the deepest levels and how these learnings can drive more effectively entice and aligned decision making.

This process drives the flywheel of intrinsic motivation and fulfilment while simultaneously creating an exponentially growing level of impact as the mastery over our long game craft increases disproportionately to our peers. When it is all said and done I fundamentally believe it is the level of intrinsic fulfilment and positive impact left on others, be it family, friends, colleagues or communities that is what leaves us feeling proud and satisfied when lying on our deathbed, reflecting on the lives we lived.
