In his book Own the Day, Own Your Life, Aubrey Marcus posits that to have true life change you must master a single individual unit of your life: one day. Marcus recommends optimizing practices for waking, working, learning, eating, training, playing, sleeping and sex.
In his book, Marcus, the CEO and Founder of Onnit and host of the Aubrey Marcus Podcast, pontificates on our life mission. He writes:
As humans, we desire to apply our force – our work – to the maximum effect possible. Our mission is what we want that force to accomplish. While the meaning of life might be complicated, your mission in life should not be complicated.
What are you, in this lifetime, on this planet, in this body, here to do? What do you want more than anything else?
I highly recommend purchasing Marcus’ book; it contains timely wisdom and nuggets to own your day and optimize your life.
