The Growth Equation’s In Defense of Performance: A Manifesto.
I am a huge fan of The Growth Equation, a service-based company dedicated to the education of performance. Here is a great write up for these: In Defense of Performance. https://thegrowtheq.com/in-defense-of-performance-a-manifesto-2/
Here is a sneak peak..
Principles
Consistency over Intensity: Anyone can crush themselves a few times a year and post it to social media. But the road to meaningful progress is paved with small steps that are aligned with your values. When taken regularly over time, these small steps compound for big gains.
Real Toughness over Fake Toughness: Out with the machismo acts of strength and power; in with knowing how to make the right decision in the moment when under distress. This is what real toughness is all about.
Rugged Flexibility over Rigidity: Rigidity works well for short periods of time but ultimately leads to anxiety and burnout. Staying on the path of performance requires the ability to adapt and holding onto multiple ideas at the same time: grit and quit, self-discipline and self-compassion, tragedy and optimism, solitude and community, ruggedness and flexibility.
Confidence over Arrogance: Confidence is based on evidence. Arrogance is based on insecurity. Confidence is quiet. Arrogance is loud.
Depth over Shallowness: Depth means dedication and joy in truly coming to know something. Shallow means optimizing for quantity, growth, and checking things off a list for the sake of checking things off a list.
