Mixtape Rewind: Our Motivation Fuel from 2023!

from Super Awesome Mix · host Super Awesome Mix

In this week's mixtape rewind, we revisit our motivation mix from the start of 2023, still able to get you going for your 2025 goals.  The motivation mix takes listeners through different facets of achievement, starting with Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" and its message about releasing your inner fire. We explore self-confidence through DJ Khaled and Drake, persistence through complications with Curtis Mayfield, and Britney Spears' blunt reminder that success requires actual work. When progress feels slow, Matchbox 20 encourages us to look back and acknowledge how far we've already come.Our conversation weaves personal stories throughout – from Sam's marathon training mindset shift to his year-long weight loss journey, offering real-world examples of how these motivational principles apply in daily life. We discuss how proving doubters wrong can fuel ambition (thanks, Jay-Z), the power of staying connected to others during challenging pursuits (Pharrell Williams' "Freedom"), and why sometimes the most motivating thing is simply showing up for yourself day after day (Macklemore's "Fire Breather").The mix closes with Pearl Jam's "Present Tense," reminding us that while goals focus on the future, achievement happens in the present moment. By staying grounded in today's actions rather than yesterday's regrets, we create the future we envision.You can find the playlist on Spotify here:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/77nOZ2Ret4MBtPdiJtaHPP?si=hmBIhVx9R0qHkWL6Vb2k_gYou can also find the motivation mix on Apple Music here:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/season-3-motivational-mix/pl.u-9N9LX74F1GR9BYeCanned Heat by JamiroquaiTo the Max by DJ Khaled, DrakeMove on Up by Curtis MayfieldWork Bitch by Britney SpearsHow Far We’ve Come by Matchbox TwentyMy Shot by Lin-Manuel MirandaSo Ambitious by JAY-Z, Pharrel WilliamsFreedom by Pharrel WilliamsMoving On Up by M PeopleTake Back the Power by RauryFirebreather by MacklemorePresent Tense by Pearl JamGo to My.SuperAwesomeMix.com and start using our new app on any device - mobile or laptop.  Copy and paste a link to your playlist then turn it into an old school mixtape in minutes!  Support the showVisit us at https://www.superawesomemix.com to learn more about our app, our merchandise, our cards, and more!
