#46 Why Do Your Goals Not Inspire You?
Manage episode 311034122 series 3081085
What is up everyone!? Hope everyone is enjoying their hump day! Today we are going to chat about how I got to the goals I set out for my road to 40 plan.
The goals are easy, the issue is finding out what is the most important to you, what is your core wants and desires. Is it money, impact, happiness, contentment, power or a million other things with a billion different combinations of stuff.
For instance, my core motivations are family, freedom and impact. Which outlines what drives me at my core. Take away the money, the travel, the stuff...what do I really want. Family. Freedom and Impact.
It sounds simple, but it took me 5 years to really understand my motivations. I am not saying it will take you 5 years, I fought the process more than I should have, to keep my “goals” the way they were before.
How do you get to those, start with what you want. Something physical, emotional or in between. From there start outlining what about that makes you want it. Once you have 10-15 reasons, look for patterns...what sticks out? What theme is repetitive. Now take a few days (or months) and think through those reasons, calling BS on yourself anytime you are showboating (thinking it because it’s the “proper” thing to think). This is about what you really want, be honest with yourself, be selfish and just get to the core of what you want and why.
I can’t stress this enough, do not take anyone else’s opinion into account when you are evaluating your motivations. This is about you and what you think, not your spouse, your friends, your coworkers or your mom. This is about what you want.
None of this is easy and this is only the first step. You will lose focus. You will get frustrated. You will think you are there and then not actually be there. That is ok. Keep reflecting and keep questioning yourself and your motivations.
You will get there, just take the time to evaluate. It can take A GREAT DEAL OF TIME. That is ok, your life, your future is worth it.
