Summary
Hey everyone, in this episode of the podcast, I shared some valuable insights on how majoring in minor things can become a major obstacle to our success. When we focus too much on minor time activities, we may miss out on the opportunities that can lead us to a brighter and more joyful future. That's why I emphasized the importance of prioritizing major time activities, such as setting goals and making plans, investing in personal development, and cultivating supportive relationships.
During the podcast, I also discussed some of the minor time activities that we should avoid, like procrastination, gossiping, and complaining. These activities can distract us from our goals and prevent us from achieving the success we desire. Instead, I recommended focusing on major time activities that challenge us to grow and expand our potential. This includes working on healing from past traumas, challenging our bodies through fitness activities, and planning for a beautiful future.
I hope that after listening to this episode, you'll be inspired to focus more on major time activities in your life and minimize minor time distractions. Remember, success is not just about what we do, but also what we don't do. So, let's make a conscious effort to prioritize our time and energy into activities that will help us achieve our goals and live a more fulfilling life.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Chris Terrell podcast. My name is Chris Terrell. And if you're new here, I have lost 125 pounds. |
| 0:18.5 | Took me two and a half years to do it and I've been keeping it off. And I am a weight loss coach. |
| 0:22.6 | I run a community called the Guild of Champions, which is a fellow people like yourself, |
| 0:26.6 | seeking to change their life and step into the body and life of their dreams. |
| 0:30.6 | And I am here every week, teaching you how to do that yourself. |
| 0:34.6 | My mission is to help free the world of a million pounds. Now, |
| 0:39.3 | obviously, I'm not going to lose a million pounds. I lost 125. What are you going to contribute to that |
| 0:45.1 | million? Now, I want to help you. I want to help you get to the end of your journey. |
| 0:55.0 | And it is not an easy journey. |
| 0:58.0 | I walked it many times and failed it and when I say failed it, is then I lost weight, but then I just, you know, gained every little pound back. |
| 1:06.0 | And if I gained every pound back, then it didn't work. |
| 1:09.0 | One of the problems I had in the past, though, that I |
| 1:12.1 | had to fix if I was going to lose the weight and keep it off, and you're going to have to fix |
| 1:15.4 | if you're doing this too. I had to stop majoring in the minors. It's a phrase from Jim Rohn. |
| 1:25.0 | He would say, don't major in minor things. |
| 1:28.6 | And this is really important because if you major in minor things, this can become a major obstacle to success. |
| 1:38.0 | Majoring in minor things can and will prevent you from stepping into a brighter and more joyful future. |
| 1:47.4 | And this week, I wanted to talk about some major things you could do, because you do need to major in the majors, |
| 1:53.5 | but I also wanted to talk about the minors. Because if you're doing these, if you're spending a ton of time in the miners, |
| 2:00.1 | you are going to be hindering |
| 2:02.0 | your ability to be successful. And I want you to do that because I want you to get to the end of |
| 2:06.4 | this journey. Now, there's something I talked about a few episodes ago that I want to, I want to state it |
