In his empowering book, "Flip the Switch," Coach Micheal Burt explores an invigorating concept he calls Prey Drive. It's a refreshing way to think about life force, composed of three essential parts: Activation (finding and utilizing your daily motivation), Persistence (developing emotional stamina for consistent effort), and Intensity (being fully committed). After dabbling for years, I'm thrilled to finally be fully committed to my life purpose —living with relentless drive!
Coach Burt goes on to talk about activating your whole self. What I call being the best version of you. This must be done purposefully every day and sometimes several times a day. The key is to uncover and tap into your god given gifts and talents. What talent do you possess that brings alive that life force in you? When you are in this space, You lose all track of time. You achieve a flow state quickly and feel like you are at play rather than work. This talent lies at the intersection of your experience-based knowledge, your particular skill set, and a burning desire.
Unlocking our potential and reaching new heights of success comes when we home in on what motivates us, leverage the talent that puts us into a productive state of mind, then back it up with critical fundamentals. To ensure all these pieces come together seamlessly - consistency is vital! Eating well, getting restful sleep each night to energize ourselves for tomorrow's pursuits, and staying mobile and hydrated are fundamental necessities to keep going and to form healthy habits that will serve you long term. Journal writing can be incredibly empowering. Meditation allows one to tap into their inner depths, creating beautiful clarity through contemplation.
We all possess unique gifts buried deep within us, waiting to be unearthed and shared with the world. But unfortunately, many of us are content living beneath our full potential; instead, settling for mediocrity can lead to a life of sadness and worry. Yet if we take even small actions that reveal these precious talents, dopamine will flood our veins as we enter an energized flow state!
This prey drive was activated for me, not as I always thought (under stress), but actually when I uncovered my talent of helping people get unstuck and achieve high levels of success. It was the results I got when coaching people, helping them achieve their goals, and activating their life force and purpose. This made me come alive and into my drive.
So first figure out what motivates you, then get moving!
I promise you if you live one week taking the actions I have described here, it will be life-altering. So figure out what motivates you, and get going today! If there is something I can support you with, reach out.
