Summary

Since the beginning of time, successful people have given this sage advice; you must set goals. In the human mind, setting goals are the heartbeat of your life. Setting a goal will harness your focus, give you meaning and purpose, and drive you forward. It gets even better if you place a deadline. If your goal is essential, timely, urgent, you will likely do anything possible to get it. Yes, likely. You may have also heard that understanding WHY you want to achieve your goal is critical to your success. "Knowing your WHY will allow you to deal with every challenge along the way,” is what they said. But sometimes, you fall short. Losing weight is a good example. Every year, millions of people set the goal of losing a few pounds. Most end up failing. But if you think about it, that makes sense. Nobody ever wants to lose anything. That's against every survival instinct you have in your body. When you set a goal that takes something away, your mind will fight you every step of the way. So what's the fix? If your goal is to lose 10 pounds, focus on the real reason and the benefits you will receive when you reach your goal. That will become your mission beyond your why. It's not losing weight. It's feeling better inside and out. It's not losing weight. It's building your self-confidence. It's not losing weight. It's having unlimited energy and stamina. Any goal that focuses on loss alone lacks the positive motivation you need to succeed. No matter how bad you want it. When you think about your daily process as steps on a mission beyond your why, everything changes. More success and happiness are in your future, and your possibilities are endless.

2:03.7	It should be a super happy, fun, fantabulous Friday. Why not? It's the weekend, right? Yeah. All right. So today, I want to go beyond your why. Everybody always says, hey, do you know your why? And you need to know your why. You really do because life gets difficult sometimes. We've got to know what that is. But there's something beyond that. There's something will drive you. It's bigger. It's your life. It's the story of your life. And we'll talk about that today and why you should focus on that. It is a daily boost from Motivation to Move.com. Every single day, it's a simple mission. I want you to face your passion. I want you to decide what in your life turns you on that you know you're here to do and somehow some way realize it is time to get off the ledge and jump in. I just do it, all right? I want to get you there. And I know there's complications.
2:34.8	I get it. I'm not naive to that. That's why in my face your passion program, I talk about building a bridge and building a foundation and understanding. Basically what I'm doing is saying get ready for the complications and the consequences so we can go forward. But that's it. I want you to jump into what you want to do. That's my solid mission. That's what I do every single day. Oh, funny story, by the way. I was talking to a client yesterday and we called me and it happened twice yesterday, actually, two different clients. Call me up and he just goes off of me.
2:35.7	You know, it happens sometimes.
2:36.1	It's okay.
2:36.8	I get paid for that.
2:48.9	I don't carry the weight. If you're a coach, I don't carry the weight at all. Do you? I don't. When somebody comes to me with a problem, positive, negative doesn't really matter. It doesn't go one ear and out the other. I do think about it, but I don't carry the weight of that.
2:51.0	So when somebody's really upset, it doesn't bother me.
2:52.8	I just like, okay, let's get through this and figure it out.
3:25.7	At the end of the call, both of these people said, thanks for talking me off the ledge. This is my job. I'm happy to be able to help you with that. And I thought about it. I said, but you know what's really interesting is I probably put you on the ledge to begin with because sometimes my job is to push you off the ledge and we cracked up because that's really what I do. Sometimes I push you to the point that you're right on the edge and I want to push you and make you pull that parachute. I want you to do that. But sometimes it's so scary that you just want to get down. Okay, come on down for a bit we'll get you back up next week it's kind of interesting how that works anyway happy to have you
