Your Intensity

"Do whatever you do intensely."~Robert Henri

Are you living full out? Are you giving 100% to everything in your life?

Why not? Why are you coasting? What is stopping you from giving 100% percent?

We have this mistaken idea that if we coast today, we can make up for it by working harder tomorrow. The problem with that is like John Wooden says, "If you give 50% today, you cannot give 150% tomorrow, because we only have 100% to give each day."

We hear constantly about how someone is giving 110%, but that's just wrong! We can't give more than 100%. They might be giving 90% after they had coasted when they were only giving 70%. Or maybe they upped their effort from 50% to 70%.

Think about how many times you had more to give and didn't. Why? Stop coasting today!

"Do whatever you do intensely."
