BFW: Creating Your Chief Definiteness of Purpose Like Bruce Lee
|
Dear Reader, Welcome to another edition of Brain Food Wednesday, issue 248. It’s that time of year to plan for a new one. If you and I were sitting here 12 months from now, what would have had to happen for you to feel successful? Or feel you were crushing it in 2025? In The Gap and the Gain by Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan, you learn not to measure yourself against some ideal. Instead, look at how far you’ve traveled from a certain point. I’m reading The Miracle of a Chief Definite Aim by Mitch Horowitz. Months ago, I attended the Think and Grow Rich 3-Day Challenge. I created my Chief Definiteness of Purpose. However, I wasn’t satisfied with it. Reading this book has allowed me to tweak my purpose statement and create better strategies to achieve it. What I’ve found helpful is the before and after examples in the book. If this is something you’d like to do, here’s an example of Bruce Lee’s Chief Definiteness of Purpose Statement. If you found this newsletter informative, please: If you liked this article, join my membership site, the Art of Learning Leadership Academy, to access my Bookish Notes. They’re book summaries on steroids. Stay tuned for more Brain Food next Wednesday!

Reader, Think for a second before you respond to the question. It’s not because you don’t have time. Anyone can find 15 to 20 minutes each day for the things that matter to them. This week, in Brain Food Wednesdays, issue 247, let’s explore why so many of those books remain untouched and how you can start reading smarter, not harder. The reason you have so many unread books on your bookshelf is that no one ever taught you how to read nonfiction books when you became an adult. As a child, you...
