You Don't Have a Motivation Problem — You Have a Meaning Problem

from The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle

Every January millions of people take out gym memberships. Most are gone by February. Not because they lack discipline. Because they lack meaning.If something matters enough to you — truly matters — you will find a way. A parent who needs a million dollars to save their child's life doesn't sit around waiting for motivation. They move. Because the meaning attached to the outcome is so powerful that obstacles become irrelevant.In this episode Jonathan Doyle makes a confronting diagnosis: if you're not reaching your goals, the problem isn't motivation. It's that the goal doesn't mean enough. Until you build sufficient meaning around what you want, it simply isn't going to happen.Drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche, two decades of personal experience in business and personal development, and a breakthrough moment where his own goals finally shifted from what he wanted to what he could give — Jonathan shows you how to find the meaning that makes motivation irrelevant.He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.Enquire about booking Jonathan to speak:https://jonathandoyle.co/Connect with Jonathan on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jdoylespeaks/Jonathan is on Youtube here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpCYnW4yVdd93N1OTbsxgyw
