Theodore Roosevelt is often remembered for his rambunctious

not come to fruition by pure accident, luck, or talent. No, Roosevelt
brought to life vigor and attitude that can only be described by the
phrase: The trenuous !ife.
It was this hard work and determination e"emplified in his trenuous
!ife that allowed him have these accomplishments:

amount of time7

Theodore Roosevelt was congruent and allowed the rapid, efficient,
and effective action to accomplish whatever he willed. Together, we

This unbelievable schedule not only seemed vigorous, but would drive
most modern men to drink; However, what do you notice particularly
about 9r. Roosevelt8s habits7 %ou got it, *.- hours of reading. That8s
right, this man found *.- hours in a presidential schedule devoted
solely to reading. Therefore, when given thoughtful consideration, it is
easy to reali5e we could devote small chunks of time like 9r.
Roosevelt to doing whatever we feel like: this includes learning a new
language, skill, or hobby. Here, you also notice there is almost no time
for leisure. 9r. Roosevelt never drew the line between work and play.
,ork was play, and vice+versa. Therefore, throughout this short guide
you are going to see first+hand strategies and methods for living life
vigorously and fearlessly like Teddy Roosevelt, and how you can chase
your dreams with full force and 5eal. Hopefully, during this :ourney
you will discover a new way to see things, how important preparation
is, and how with the right attitude and a great personality anything is
possible.
4n:oy the :ourney and have fun seeing life change at lightning speed.
!hapter '
The .ower of tates and )ttitude:
The word emotion can be broken down into e+motion, essentially
energy in motion. %our emotions are essentially the manifestation and
result of your physiology in any moment. <or e"ample, can you
describe to me the body language of a depressed person7 lumped
shoulders, shallow breathing, and a lack of eye contact are all classic
indicators of depression. )re these signals a by+product of depression,
or are they the cause7 9any will argue depression is a chemical
imbalance and sometimes out of our control, however as a sufferer
myself I reali5ed by :ust changing your physiology you can change
your state of mind. This is e"actly what Teddy Roosevelt did. He
bounded from room to room with speed and passion. He shook men8s
hands vigorously, looked you in the eye, and carried himself as if he
had the world in his hands. 'id Teddy Roosevelt wake up every day
feeling like this7 9ost likely not, but he made it his :ob to feel this way
no matter what and he did this by consciously changing his body
language.
Teddy Challenge #1: <or the ne"t seven days, set your alarm to five
).9, or any time that is at least an hour earlier than what you8re used
to. Immediately, when the alarm hits, no matter how tired you are,
immediately spring out of bed with energy as if you are rested and
energetic. I emphasi5e =as if> because you will fake it until you make
it. If you do this every morning and carry this action through
everything you do, you will feel renewed in every way. This simple
action of springing out of bed will convince you that you are in control
your emotions, and that you are in control your state in any moment.
The .ower of <ocus:
,hat is focus7 Is it the concentration of your complete mental and
physical capabilities, or is it simply the absence of distractions7 In
today8s world everyone does their work with a <acebook tab open or a
smart phone within arm8s reach. However, what if Teddy Roosevelt
became distracted by a cute dog8s singing abilities on <acebook7
,ould he have accomplished as much as he did7 Now, I8m not
implying that you should ?uit every social media outlet and become a
hermit in a cave, even though that works. <or e"ample, 'emosthenes,
@reece8s most famous orator shaved his head so he could resist going
into public, so he could focus on perfecting his oratory. He spent
months honing his skills until he accomplished his goals. Teddy did the
same thing, when it was time to read he would often retire into closets
or secluded areas so he could avoid distractions. <ocus is not
concentration, it is elimination. %our mind wants to naturally focus on
one thing and it is only when we burden ourselves with too many
things that we see terrible results. In order, to accomplish great things
and get the most for your time, you need to not only focus but
eliminate everything that serves as a distraction.
Teddy 0hallenge A&: et a block of time to work on a pro:ect today.
However, set two blocks. <or the first one, think of the busiest and
most hectic environment you can find. This could be a mall, a
marketplace, or a sporting event. ,ork on your task for the allotted
time and record your productivity. Ne"t, I want you to pack up
everything you have and drive to a nearby cemetery. %es, I said it, a
cemetery. No one8s going to bother you there, and work on your task
for the allotted time. Bnce you overcame the stigmas that come with
cemeteries, which environment was more productive7 )lbeit, it seems
a cemetery may seem a little overboard, it really brings the idea home.
,hen you remove distraction and create a life of focus, you prioriti5e
what is important. Therefore, define your workplace whether it8s in
your home, office, or cemetery and remove every possible distraction.
'istractions include:
.hones
<acebook, Twitter, etc.
Cids, ,ifeD.
0lutter or anything that may grab your attention.
Try to avoid people unless your work involves dealing with
people.
)void pesty clothing and look for comfortable conditions. %ou
do not want your mind drifting to how uncomfortable the chair
is or how hot the room is.
Noise. Try to avoid it all costs. Enless you to work with music
of course.
<inally, let people know your schedule. 'o not compromise with this.
If you have to work from #+( ..9 on your finances that means it must
get done. .lan ahead, anticipate distractions, and create an
environment that is distraction free.
Chapter 3
The Law of Speed of Implementation:
'o you want to know Teddy Roosevelt8s number one secret to time
management7 'o you want to know what allowed him to read a whole
novel before breakfast, deliver five speeches a day, and write a book in
less than a day7 imply, speed. The man moved with absolute
lightning speed that bordered superhuman capabilities. However, he
never rushedF he simply tackled everything with force and power.
4verything he did was from a place of speed. He spoke ?uickly, he
moved ?uickly, and therefore thought ?uickly. This was not over the
top, his speed conveyed passion and enthusiasm. He spoke fast enough
to get you engaged, but in a way you could still comprehend. He
bounded into rooms with lightning speed, shaking hands vigorously.
Bften, he would devour - novels in a day, not because he was more
gifted than you or me, but because he deliberately worked on moving
through it ?uickly and swiftly. He did what had to be done, when it had
to be done, and as ?uickly as necessary. There was no pause, no
deliberationF action was always the immediate result. Therefore, there
is a word for this speed, its called hustle. Hustle literally means to
work in a ?uick and hurried way. Teddy Roosevelt literally HET!4'
in everything he did. ,hen you8re working on something, do not do it
half+heartedly. 'o it with as much energy and speed you could muster.
This speed is largely determined by your physiology, how you move
your body. 9ove your body ?uickly and forcefully and your work will
carry that same weight.
Teddy 0hallenge A(:
Run as much as you can today. If you have to go to bathroom, :og
there. %ou need to go to the store7 Run there. Need to complete an
assignment7 'o it as ?uickly and enthusiastically as you can.
$asically, for one day move as ?uickly as you can in every action you
do. $e unrelenting in your speed. Talk faster, walk faster, and move
faster. %ou will soon feel like your life is on fire. .assion will emanate
from you as you tackle life8s challenges with speed and force.
Remember, with every second, minute, and hour that passes by you are
getting closer to your death. Take nothing for granted, treat everything
as if death is chasing you from behind. Run, sprint, and always hustle
in everything you do.
Chapter !
/or& 5s Leisure:
<inally, the last ma:or distinction in the life of Teddy Roosevelt, was
his division between work and leisure. In fact,the division did not
e"ist. 4verything was an adventureF he hustled from activity to activity,
strenuously living life with effort and strife. He would often say,
=)void a life of ease,> as he believed ease led to complacency and
ultimately death. To him, it was better to have failed gloriously, then to
have done nothing. 'o not be a =poor timid soul that knows neither
victory nor defeat.> Galiantly, attack and hustle after what you want.
%ou will fail, you will be embarrassed, but you will become stronger.
<ear will dissipate from your body, and life will no longer get the best
of you. Through the battle you will gain insight into yourself and live a
remarkable life. trive to be your best, strive to cut the diamonds in
your life, and bear the difficulties that will turn you into the strongest
version of yourself. Through constant hustle and effort, you will see
the walls of obstacles crumble to your feet and live life with
confidence and enthusiasm.
Action Steps for the Strenuous Life:
The Strenuous Life is broken down into three stages:
1. The Deliberation Stage:
a. In this stage you are going to define the different areas of
your life that will garner your attention. A sample list of areas
may be:
i. Personal rowth
ii. !ealth and "itness
iii. #oman$e
i%. Career
%. &oney
%i. "un and Ad%enture
%ii. "riends and "amily
%iii. Spirituality
b. 'sing these areas $reate a result you want to a$hie%e and
$ome up with $ompelling reasons to why you want this result.
i. (): I intend to ma*e to lose +, pounds be$ause I *now it
will $ontribute to my health and lower my ris* for diabetes-
$an$er- and high blood pressure.
b. "inally $ome up with a plan to a$hie%e your result:
i. (): To lose +, pounds I will eat a diet $onsisting of whole
foods and wor*out + days a wee*.
b. .hen these steps are o%er ma*e sure you are ta*ing
intelligent a$tion steps. /ow blo$* time for ea$h result.
i. (): "rom 01+:2, e%ery day I will wor* out no matter what.
b. In the deliberation stage- ma*e sure you are eliminating
e%ery possible distra$tion you $an in your fo$us time blo$*s.
i. (): "rom +13:2,- when I ha%e blo$*ed time for Personal
De%elopment- I will dis$onne$t e%ery internet sour$e and power
down my phone.
4. The A$tion Stage:
a. 5n$e you ha%e blo$*ed your time for a$hie%ing your
defined results- the ne)t step is simple- !ustle. .or* with speed
and enthusiasm. Apply the $hapter on the speed of
implementation and ta$*le your tas*s with absolute speed and
fer%or.
b. "a*e it till you ma*e it. If it is diffi$ult for you to wor*
with speed at first- ma*e belie%e you are Teddy #oose%elt
himself bounding from room to room- %igorously atta$*ing your
a$tions.
$. Try to do e%erything at least 0,6 faster. (%ery day stret$h
your $apabilities. Test yourself7 you will be glad you did.
d. 8e absolutely non1negotiable in your time blo$*s. If you9re
going to do something from +13- you better be doing that thing
from +13 no matter what. Sti$* to it- and hustle until its
$ompletion.
4. The #ela)ation:#e$harge Phase.
a. (%en Teddy #oose%elt had to re$harge- therefore when you
ha%e wor*ed and put yourself in a position where you9re li%ing
your dream- do not be afraid to en;oy the important things in
your life- li*e family- spirituality- and e%en tra%el. <ife is most
en;oyed in the small moments and it is important to stri*e a
balan$e.
b. This is why it is important to $onstantly re1e%aluate e%ery
area of your life and ma*e sure it is getting its fair share of your
time. &eaning- s$hedule time to $all your mother- to ta*e your
$hild to s$hool- and to %isit a senior $iti=en home. It is important
to wor* tirelessly in the dire$tion of your dream- but life is a test
of enduran$e.
$. Teddy #oose%elt was a sprinter and you $an be too- but
e%en sprinters $an only go for a $ertain amount of time- so
manage a$$ordingly.
Chapter $: Conclusion
In summation, in this small book you have seen a glimpse of success
principles when implemented that can immediately change the way
you live your life to the same way Teddy Roosevelt did. Instantly he
changed his condition from a sickly young boy, to a strapping young
man. )s mentioned, this was done through effort and hustle. I could
have ended this book with a well+written and poetic call to action but it
is important that you see Teddy8s words yourself and what the
strenuous life truly means,
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the
doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor
and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes,
not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man
who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter
toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.
A mere life of ease is not in the end a very satisfactory life, and,
above all, it is a life which ultimately unfits those who follow it
for serious work in the world.
The man must be glad to do a mans work, to dare and endure
and to labor; to keep himself, and to keep those dependent
upon him.
In the last analysis a healthy state can exist only when the men
and women who make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy lives;
when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to
shirk difficulties, but to overcome them; not to seek ease, but to
know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk.
And finally,
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could
have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat
and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short
again and again, because there is no effort without error and
shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who
knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends
himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never
be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory
nor defeat
