Summary
You may have heard from this show that motivation is not correlated with goal achievement–in fact it can be inversely correlated with it. What then are the factors that have the biggest impact on accomplishing goals? Dr. Henry Cloud shows us that what matters most is first the belief that your goal can be achieved. The second factor is prioritization. In this short talk, Dr. Cloud will help you get clear about what really works for making things happen in your life. Remember, if everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.
Write-in Question:
I haven't spoken to my son in several years and it's the most painful loss I've ever experienced. His father was very hard on him. Too hard, and I didn't step in when I should have. He was a very stern man. Never physically abusive, but highly judgmental and not an ounce of love to give. I'm now divorced and I want to reconnect with my son but he isn't returning my calls. What can I do?
Jaret got divorced 2 year ago and wants to reconcile the marriage. His big question is whether his desire to reconcile is coming from a good place or a place of fear.
Kathy lives with a friend that’s a hoarder. When Kathy throws things away they find their way back into the house. How can she confront the friend in a peaceful way about starting the cleanup process?
Laura feels stuck in a pattern of self-betrayal. She’s a journalist and doesn’t feel comfortable talking about her faith at work.
Being estranged from someone you once were close to can be a painful reality to live in. Should you reconcile? When? How? How can we fix the pain of estrangement? Does it get easier? What is my role in this process? What is mine to own? What should I do?

| 0:09.7 | If you're a regular listener or viewer, and for those of you who are new to the program, |
| 0:15.7 | this is the Dr. Cloud show where we talk about your life and all that stuff that goes into our lives. |
| 0:23.5 | I always kind of look at it. I'm a psychologist, if you don't know that, you know, one of those |
| 0:29.1 | head shrinker types. And your life really is like a big pie, I think. It's got three big |
| 0:36.4 | slices to it. And the big slices, one big chunk is |
| 0:40.3 | how you're feeling? You know, that's the technical term. We call it the clinical life. And that's like |
| 0:45.4 | stress and anxiety and fears and addictions and depression and goofy thoughts we can't get rid of and |
| 0:52.8 | all that stuff. And that's kind of the thriving piece. |
| 0:57.9 | Now, the goal on this program is to take all of that negative sound and stuff and flip it and get |
| 1:04.0 | it to what I like to talk about the thriving side of life. In other words, we don't want to be |
| 1:10.7 | emotionally surviving. We want to be |
| 1:13.4 | emotionally thriving and there are ways to get there. We talk about that. Second big piece is all those |

| 1:26.5 | some in marriage or family or extended family |
| 1:29.3 | or friends or in-laws or cousins or your kids or your dog or anything relational. |
| 1:36.3 | Work, your teams. We talk about all that here and the ways to make that better. And you know what? |
| 1:44.4 | There are ways to make relationships better. |
| 1:46.5 | A lot of people feel powerless in their relationships. |
| 1:49.6 | And certain kinds of steps that we can take can change everything. |
| 1:53.6 | So that's what we do. |
| 1:55.3 | And then the third big piece is I like to call it performance, but here's the deal. |
