Aaron McManus: Why don't we take the next 12 episodes of mind shift of our podcast, and break down a chapter every single episode leading up to the release of the book. And then for everyone who pre-orders the book, we will give them a link to these 12 episodes that they could access them as they're reading the book. We are inviting you to join us on this journey as we believe that we can all think like geniuses,. Even if you want to watch that we're going to destroy some internal limitations.
Time is perceived differently by people who have urgency. When you lack urgency, time just flies. It just moves faster than you can keep up with. One of the things that people say to me all the time is, you seem so calm. You seem to have an incredible sense of peace or calm, even when there's a crisis. That is because I live my life with urgency. Time is never moving to me faster than I'm moving. When you have urgency, you're moving faster than time.
A lot of times crisis become urgent because it's a cris. But there are other things that are in life that are super important and you have to bring the urgency to it because it's not a crisis. And let's say, for instance, it's not a crisis that I don't work out today, but it might be urgent because if I don't work out, it will become a crisis with my health.
And so the challenge sometimes is that it seems that crisis is the only way many people are motivated. But if you have urgency, you do not need a crisis to live your life doing the important things.
Urgency has to be an internal driver.
