| 0:00.0 | Welcome back. Today's episode is going to be pretty short, but I hope that it's going to make |
| 0:06.0 | you think about the things you focus on and the goals that you have in your life and if they're |
| 0:11.9 | really a fit for where you are. This episode was born out of the fact that I had a couple emails |
| 0:17.3 | this week from clients and they had explained what their goal was. And as I looked at their goals, |
| 0:24.4 | it made me curious if their goals were actually going to make them happy long term. |
| 0:32.2 | It made me curious if they had set this thought in their mind that this is what they needed, |
| 0:38.2 | this goal is what they needed and had lost track of everything along the way to get there and |
| 0:44.3 | the beauty and the journey. And as I was thinking about this, I thought about some things in my |
| 0:48.8 | own life. It really made me think what things do I work towards or focus on that may not be worth |
| 0:56.2 | the side effects or the cons that trying to reach those things are causing. I spend a lot of time |

| 1:14.4 | So today, I'm not going to be necessarily teaching you anything. I'm not going to be educating you |
| 1:18.6 | on something. I want you to think. I want you to think about yourself. I want you to think about |
| 1:24.2 | your goals. I want you to think about the things you focus on. And if they're really making you happy |
| 1:31.3 | and if they're really lining up with your priorities, I'm also going to suggest that you grab a |
| 1:36.9 | piece of paper and a pencil during this episode or if you want to just open up your phone and go to |
| 1:42.4 | your notes. I want you to write down some of the feelings that your goal creates and some of the |
| 1:48.6 | action that your goal creates and see where your focus is as well. Because I know for me, |
| 1:54.3 | some of the most life changing and important events in my life aren't necessarily a goal that |
| 1:58.8 | reaching a goal that I wanted. But thinking about the process and trying to align that with what |
| 2:05.6 | really mattered to make my life congruent and honestly to make my life happy with my priorities |
