Summary

#973: The self-help and personal development world gives primary focus to increasing our performance so we can achieve greater successes in our lives. And it’s true we all are capable of more. Nobody is performing at their max capacity. But we won’t outperform the level of ability we believe about ourselves and all we have to go on is the proof of what we have and haven’t done thus far. It brings to mind Roger Banister breaking the four minute mile mark in running, which was deemed humanly impossible, but more importantly the four other runners who then did it within a year. All that changed is once they believed running a sub four minute mile was possible, they did it. Prior, they could not. Most of us are sitting where we are and desiring greater performance from ourselves but unable to see ourselves being at a higher level. If someone came along and ran a diagnostic test on us and said they had proof we could do it we would in short order. But that won’t likely happen, so how can we get ourselves to really see ourselves as a higher performer? To have a performance upgrade we need an upgrade to our identity. I have Anthony Trucks on with me in this episode to talk about it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	Coming up next in the Ziggler Show.
0:02.4	When I look at why some of them want an identity shift,
0:04.5	well, wouldn't it be nice to be the person who does the things that has the thing
0:09.0	so that it's just as easy and smooth as you're living your life now,
0:12.6	emotionally, right?
0:14.2	But you have more.
0:15.0	And that's just a simple aspect of who you are than identity, right?
0:18.7	So that's why I think people should want it.
0:20.8	But then what you're saying is, well, people want that,
0:22.6	but they probably don't want what it all entails, right?
0:25.0	Because it does like, well, I've got to be somebody different.
0:27.2	And I think that there's something in that that people are missing out on.
0:30.0	And I think one of the biggest things is the acceptance of humanity as a tribe, right?
0:35.2	The reason we're so fearful of this is I don't want to be cast out.
0:39.0	And so what happens in this journey is people look at the actions necessary
0:42.8	to have those things go, oh, but that's not who I am.
0:45.5	I'm not the person that says that thing, that creates that thing, that asks for that thing,
0:49.8	that does that work, you know, I got to keep my ego, keep my facade.
0:52.9	And so because of that, we never take the different actions
0:55.7	because they feel out of character.
0:58.4	And that's a huge thing.
0:59.4	As most people don't, they don't even think it's a good thing to take out of character actions.
