How do you build a wall made of bricks? It’s quite simple. You lay one brick at a time until it’s complete. Easy enough, right? Now you read that, most people are immediately overwhelmed thinking about how long it would actually take to build the damn wall. But what if we didn’t think about the big picture, what if we just focused on laying that one brick at a time, does that seem more manageable? Does that make doing it feel & seem all that much easier? What if instead of thinking about all the work that needs to get done within all these different areas of our life we instead just focus on that one brick, that one action we can take today. How many more days would we be willing to show up? How much more progress would we make in our week, month or year? My guess is a lot. Today we’re going to discuss The One Brick Rule - let’s fire it UP!

Thanks to Will Smith for the inspiration of today's episode!

5 Steps to Following The One Brick Rule

(1) Prepare Yourself For the Day : take the time to prepare yourself for the day ahead. Your habits & routines will look different than everyone else but find the ones that help you show up to the world as the best version of yourself and stick to them.
(2) Adjust Due To Weather : Make necessary adjustments along the way but never toss in the towel because of the incoming weather. Rain or shine, we must show up to do the work.
(3) Lay The Brick : Maybe it’s one area of your life or a few, do what you need to do today. Lay that brick or focus on whatever aspect of your life is necessary and do what you need to do.
(4) Patch Up Any Cracks : Take time to patch up any cracks along the way because if not, our wall will crash before we finish. That 5 mins of reflection and analyzing our past can and will make all the difference in the long haul.
(5) Finish The Job : Get the job done. Block out that pessimistic inner voice, cancel out any and all distractions and continue to show up until the job is done.

Challenge for the listeners

Spend 10 minutes within the next 24hrs and consider what daily bricks you can lay in your life that will make a difference. Don’t think about the bigger picture, purely focus on the small steps you can take today because they will make a difference in time.
