Commitment to the ultimate quality of anything gives access to unique creativity and intelligence. From the smallest activity to the loftiest goal, an intentional focus on the maximum fulfillment of its purpose generates information and inspiration unavailable from any other perspective.

How to Be Invincible:

There's a simple way to become indestructible: Have the intention to do your best at whatever you're doing, right now. To gain the invulnerability I'm referring to, you must pass through the gate of the total vulnerability that putting yourself on that line demands. Not be the best - do your best. Attempting to be the best can easily have struggle, ego and self-recrimination as baggage, with win/lose as the format. But doing your best is a dynamic, ever-changing experience that is possible anytime, by anyone. It's engaging with your life and work in the present, with an attitude and an altitude that are constantly renewing and refreshing. And you can win, whenever.

The powerful freedom that comes with that experience is not free, however. You must move to a risky edge. You must ask yourself the "what's best" question, listen inwardly, and muster up the willingness to respond to the answer you get. That might mean sacrificing your momentary pleasure, your habits, your lethargy, and (God forbid!) your self-doubt.
