Your life already has a rhythm.

Every day, week, month, and year, your patterns repeat. And those patterns are continuously creating you.

Rhythm creates consistency. Consistency becomes discipline. Discipline compounded over time becomes mastery.

Create your rhythm intentionally.

At 17 years old, I competed in my first pro contest in Munster, Germany.

I landed an ollie impossible lip slide down a handrail, becoming the first person to ever do it, and finished fifth.

Up to that point, it was the greatest experience of my life.

Now I can look back at that year through my Existence Grid.

Doubt begins when friction starts slowing your momentum.

That friction is information. It shows you where change is required and where your priorities need to be adjusted.

Find it. Remove the resistance. Protect your momentum before doubt takes hold.

One of the highest-energy Time Blocks I’ve ever had: 9.3.

For the first time, we opened Existence to a cohort of paid users. Seeing people finally using it was truly such a thrilling experience.

I also finished the outline for my philosophy that will eventually become a book and rounded out the week with family and fun in Mexico.

The Real Me was closely aligned with the Ideal Me.

On April 23, 2015, I hired the entire cast of Aladdin and 300 extras to propose to my wife.

She said yes.

They fired off the confetti and played “A Whole New World.”

It was truly the beginning of the rest of my life.

I spent eight more hours with my family than I intended this week.

That sounds like a good thing, and it was. But it wasn’t my intention.

My Time Alignment Score revealed the gap between the Real Me I created and the Ideal Me I intended to create.

The first time I skated a half pipe, someone told me I had incredible potential.

I kept skating. I kept improving. And as the progression continued, the passion developed with it.

The activity itself doesn’t create passion.

Moving closer to your potential does.

[Rob Dyrdek @robdyrdek]

The Existence Time Creation Cycle is simple:

Design. Account. Optimize.

Design the person you want to become.

Account for who you actually are.

Optimize what your time reveals.

Repeat every week.

I’m a recovering delusional optimist.

I used to believe every idea I had was going to work. When someone told me otherwise, I assumed they were just being negative.

But being unrealistically positive creates the same disappointment as being unrealistically negative because neither is calibrated to reality.

The goal isn’t to become more positive or more negative.

It’s to continuously calibrate your expectations to reality.

I raced ostriches with my cousins and got stomped in the ribs.

More than a decade later, the whole memory lives inside Existence for me to reflect on and remember forever.

Still think I got cheated.

An investor once gave me a piece of advice that I completely ignored.

"Capital loves clarity."

I thought he didn't get it.

Years later, I realized I was the one who didn't.

The advice never changed.

My level of knowledge did.

[Rob Dyrdek @robdyrdek]

My goal last week was to write 20 hours of my book, Time Creationism.

I ended up pushing all of that writing to the second half of the week and still accomplished the goal.

My Time Alignment Score showed me exactly how my week unfolded.

Sometimes motivation isn't enough.

When you don't integrate a goal into your natural rhythm, you rely on motivation.

Motivation rises and falls.

Momentum is what helps you actualize your goals.

[Rob Dyrdek @robdyrdek]

This week my Time Alignment Score reached 98.

The Real Me I created closely reflected the Ideal Me I intended to create.

That's what Time Alignment is all about.

Your life is already operating as a system, whether you intentionally designed it or not.

Every habit, decision, environment, and relationship is continuously shaping the person you are.

Improve the system, and you improve you.

[Rob Dyrdek @robdyrdek]

I’ll never forget game 7 of the 2016 NBA finals.

Being from Ohio, it meant so much to witness @KingJames win the championship after being down 3-1 to arguably the best team ever. The chase-down block was one of the greatest moments I've ever witnessed, and today it's forever captured inside Existence.

I can’t wait to see him win another championship in Philly.

[Rob Dyrdek @robdyrdek]

February 7, 2015 will always be one of the greatest days of my life.

Now it's forever captured and memorialized in Existence.

Your energy is information.

High energy shows you when your life is aligned with the person you're trying to become.

Low energy shows you where something needs to change.

Use your energy as the compass to create a better you.

[Rob Dyrdek @robdyrdek]

You are the visionary of you.

The future version of yourself is being created by the vision you hold today.

The question is: do you have a vision for all of you, or only parts of you?

[Rob Dyrdek @robdyrdek]

I worked 13 hours and 45 minutes more than I intended.

My Time Alignment Score showed me exactly where my week changed.

The Real Me I created didn't match the Ideal Me I intended to create.

Now I know why.
