Is there anything else that my audience should be aware of so that they can show
00:00:03
up better in their lives in the pursuit of their goals? Defining your goals is huge. Looking
00:00:07
yourself in the mirror and being honest and seeing what that voice really says to you. I just like everybody else have
00:00:13
had feelings of inadequacy, feelings of I'm not going to be able to pull this off. It's not as if there's a superhuman
00:00:19
thing of I'm, you know, I'm putting my head down. I'm going to get through it. Like Gogggins doesn't stop. If you ever
00:00:24
met him, he is a machine. He's amazing. But he goes out and he'll tell you he he's the first one who doesn't go want
00:00:29
to go out and run when it's raining and cold and freezing. But you know why he does it? Because he didn't want to do
00:00:34
it. That's where the real work is. When I'm doing a workout that's exceptionally
00:00:38
hard. When it gets to the hardest part, that's when I tell myself all of this was easy. This is where I'm actually
00:00:44
growing. So I challenge you right now to assign yourself a goal right now. Decide
00:00:50
one thing that you want to strive for. Define it. Define it. Don't do these pie in the sky things. Goals that are
00:00:56
achievable have to be quantifiable. Be it a number, be it something achievable. Decide what it is and make tomorrow the
00:01:02
first day you go after it. And create all of the things that will help you succeed, not fail. Where is that
00:01:08
inflection point from you trying to do something to you ingraining it in your muscle memory and now it becomes
00:01:16
self-fulfilling. You keep doing it because you like doing it. I didn't love running when I started. Now running is
00:01:21
my vacation. I enjoy running. It gives me a flow state. I make up new ideas. I get to kind of check in with myself. I
00:01:28
think physical activity is so important. So many of the chronic diseases and things we have are lifestyle choices and
00:01:34
inactivity. We could solve so many huge problems we have simply by eat healthier
00:01:39
and start working out a little more. And nobody wants to hear that. But you do a
00:01:43
little bit of hard work, you continue and you maintain. If you take action tomorrow and start making your goals
00:01:50
happen, get inside your own head.
