#174 Goal Setting Masterclass

"Pain pushes us until our vision pulls."- Dr. Michael Beckwith Let's do a reality check for a second here. We romanticize change. We do. We do. Remember those moments when you wake up one morning and decide to run or jog for the first time or when you decide that that's enough unhealthy snacks for today or when you decide that you want to resign and try a different career? The euphoric or painful moment of deciding is such a pivotal experience, but why do 9 out of 10 times, we revert back? The dissatisfaction with where we are in our lives is the leading reason why we decide to take action, to change, but is it enough? Is it sustainable? In this episode, let's talk about how you can take control of your life by deciding who you want to become. Highlights: -The purpose of life is growth. Growth needs to be a conscious process to not fall into drifting by. -What got you here, won't get you there. What pushed you to experience change before might not be the same push you need to level up. "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." - Aristotle You have to be curious about who you are and be more curious about who you are becoming. Timestamps to some important stories in the episode: (14:07) Who is your hero? Excerpt of Matthew McConaughey's speech during the 86th Oscars.
