Michael here. 👋

Happy Sunday.

Couple of exciting updates before we get to the rest of the goodness.

First, THANK YOU (again!) for your support in helping Areté cross the 50,000+ copies sold mark… and for all of the celebratory messages you’ve sent our way over the last week! 🙏

Plus…

GREAT WORK on having hit 20,000,000+ Virtuous Targets as a community!

That’s 20,000,000+ instances of us showing up as the best, most Heroic versions of ourselves.

Closing the gap between who we’re capable of being and who we’re actually being.

Living with more Wisdom + Discipline + Courage + Love + Gratitude + Hope + Curiosity + Zest in our own lives.

1. Planting Seeds of Possibility by Dan Whitfield

This week’s new Philosopher’s Note is on Planting Seeds of Possibility by Dan Whitfield.

“The best beliefs and businesses are often formed and forged in times of flood, famine, failure, and even ferocious flu viruses.

It would take Michelangelo over two years of tedious and tiring sculpting to shape his magnificent masterpiece. He chipped away anything that didn’t look like David.

I believe your masterpiece is in the making! Throughout this book, I’m going to challenge you to chip away anything that doesn’t look like your dreams.

This book is divided into two sections. It will blend personal and professional challenges by design. Relative to the Coronavirus pandemic, it became especially apparent, the new or next normal, would not be about living separate work and home lives. It would be about life and how we live it in a blended and balanced way. I desire this book to plant seeds of possibility in you so that you can have the best of both worlds in your personal and professional pursuits.

In doing so, my hope is that you’ll discover new dreams and recover old ones.”

~ Dan Whitfield from Planting Seeds of Possibility

And all the inspiring, uplifting, and energizing posts on Heroic social!

3. "I can feel myself leveling up!”

“When things get tough my antifragile confidence really kicks in, where as before, I would revert to old/bad tendencies, and the gap would widen instead of close.”

👆 That’s what happens when you have a Heroic Performance Coach in your corner.

Ready to level up in your life?!

Here’s what another Heroic Performance Coaching client had to say:

“My coach has been a catalyst for accountability in truly creating habits that will help me become the best version of myself from moment to moment to moment! He has been a sounding board for my thoughts regarding my areas to improve and focus on, and he makes great suggestions in challenging me to move from thoughts to actions.

I can’t emphasize enough how helpful and supportive it has been to my personal growth.

It aligns perfectly with being PROACTIVE and ensures devoted time to go deep with Heroic, the App, and your deep work as you move from theory to practice to MASTERY!”

It’s time to catalyze your becoming the best version of yourself!
