If you find yourself saying ONE thing, but doing another…this is for YOU. Have you ever felt like a loser because you didn’t stay motivated? Or you feel like you “should” be motivated? If you’re looking for a NEW way of GOAL-ACHIEVING, this WORKS! I’ll teach you 4+ words that can change everything.
In today’s episode, I definitely get my PREACH ON, but it’s been so life changing for me.
In this episode, you’ll also find out why I LOVE the number “11”
Ultimately, it reminds me that I’m not alone. And neither are YOU, dear soul!
Now that I’ve told you the story, perhaps you’ll also be reminded of an incredible TRUTH every day!
No matter where you are, or what you’re going through, you are NOT alone.
I’m not a “motivational” speaker…although I’ve always been inspired by motivational speakers, especially Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbins.
After running all over the world and spending thousands of dollars chasing motivation, it only left me feeling defeated, with a HUGE To-Do List…and thinking I could change my life over night.
Have you ever felt like a loser because you didn’t stay motivated?
Or you feel like you “should” be motivated?
First, GET THE SHOULD OUT OF HERE!
Let SHOULD and MOTIVATION go.
Motivation was never meant to be long-term.
It was meant to spark something. However, it’s INSPIRATION that ignites the spark to a huge, passionate fire that burns eternally.
Inspiration is eternal. For example, take a deep breath (inspiration.) Without it you can’t live.
Inspiration is everything…life to your days.
Start to make the shift from motivation to inspiration, and take STEPS and ACTION based on this inspiration.
Motivation is only the spark. It won’t keep the fire going.
I was done with the huge To-Do list that completely burned me out. I even quit making a list of goals!
If you’re looking for a NEW way of GOAL-ACHIEVING, this WORKS!
These 3 Words Can Change Everything:
- Conscious.
- Grateful.
- Fearless.
This inspiration was my FOCUS!
I allowed inspiration to lead and guide me. And accomplished WAY MORE than I had with motivation.
The next year my word was:
- LOVE.
Let GO of motivation, and the belief that you are NOT motivated or you need to make yourself motivated!
If it’s not inspiring to you, it’ll be short-term.
Changing your behavior without the inspiration of a belief change will be temporary, at best.
Motivation modifies behavior only for a time.
Inspiration will transform your beliefs, and inspire massive action.
Willpower and tough won’t cut it.
Take your WILL, and turn it into an “I AM.”
This is YOUR inheritance.
It’s your life, purpose, and plan for your life.
Step into the “I AM” of WHO YOU ARE. Stop WILLING yourself to do anything…anymore.
And when you DO say I WILL, you’ll actually follow-though with what you say you’ll do.
It’s called INTEGRITY. CONSISTENT INTEGRITY. IT’S CALLED TRUTH.
Grab hold of who you are (IN TRUTH) and live from this inspired place. The rest is only temporary.
If you find yourself saying ONE thing, but doing another…this is for YOU.
There’s nothing greater than the desires in your heart lining up with your beliefs. This is INSPIRING. Step into the truth of this, and your “I AM” will become your reality.
Yes, I get my PREACH ON, but it’s been so life changing for me.
I’m so done with everyone promising all these big results by getting you fired up and motivated. Only for you to come home and find yourself missing your big “WHY TO.”
When the WHAT TO DO isn’t working because the WHY TO isn’t big enough, it’s time to take a serious look at not only your “WHY TO”, but also your “WHY NOT TO”.
Years ago I learned that my “WHY NOT TO” was bigger than my “WHY TO.” Thanks to one of my mentors, Dr. Noah St-John for helping me uncover my “WHY NOT TO” at that time.
It allowed me to see the TRUTH and discover my INSPIRATION.
You can too!
YOUR INSPIRATION is your WHY TO.
What’s the reason behind why you do what you do, and why you desire what you desire?
INSPIRATION will take the brakes off, and get you UNSTUCK. It’ll open the floodgates called, “Your Life.”
Watch what happens as you FLOW and GROW.
TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:
- Grab your S.O.L. D.A.T.E. Journal and sit down.
- Ask yourself what motivates you.
- Ask yourself what inspires you.
- Circle your inspiration.
- Then write, “I AM __________________.” (Fill in the blank with your desire based on your inspiration.)
- Circle it and begin to take action from your heart and soul today.
I’m beyond grateful that you’re here.
Please invite others to sip on life with us, and join the community.
