Present, Presence, & Purposeful Daily Deposits.

Intentional & purposeful, I’m 99% sure they are both superpowers. What do you think? No?

You think of Ironman, Batman, Superman, and all the other superheroes with their amazing superpowers. Intentional & purposeful wouldn’t sell in movie theaters or old-school comic books. But they both can change your (real) life more than Cyclops laser vision.

Daily Deposits is the practice of consistency but that isn’t the most important part. There is a chance you consistently do the wrong thing or be consistently bad. You can even be consistently unintentional. This is where you can discover the magic. The magic is the intentionality within your Daily Deposits.

Consistency is Dwayne Wade

Being Intentional is Lebron James.

Without intention what level of importance does your daily deposit even have?

Zach Pogrob, Obsession Year, says to pick one medium, post every day, and make it better every day. He said most people forget the most vital part, to iterate, improve, and make it better. To improve it takes a level of intentionality behind each action. Consistently sharing your obsession, your fire, the thing you can’t stop thinking about, the thing that consumes you, and it feels like it got tattooed on your brain, actively deciding to share that is step 1. Step 2 and where the real magic is IMPROVING each repetition.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing (intentionally). It isn’t ONLY about doing the thing every day. It is about IMPROVING & DOING the thing with PURPOSE, every day.

It isn’t easy but you and I can practice these together. It is something I am working on daily with this newsletter, in coaching, podcasting, friendships, and life. Cheers to doing it together. Below is my concise reminder and attempt to create a maxim (shoutout to Noah Cracknell).

Be where your feet are. (Present)

Be engaged. (Presence)

Be intentional. (Purposeful)

Keep stacking those daily deposits. I aspire to make every day the best day of the year, until tomorrow. I am not saying I am the best and not saying I have perfected it. I am seeking the opportunity to do so with bold curiosity, optimism, and a big smile on my face.

Keep Killin’ It!
