Step One: Get Crystal Clear About How You Want to Feel
Have you ever achieved something you worked incredibly hard for… only to realize it didn't bring the fulfillment you expected?
I still remember sitting in the audience at Tony Robbins' Business Mastery event in San Diego in 2010 when he shared a story that has stayed with me ever since.
Tony shared how he took his company public and generated millions of dollars. Yet, he was not thrilled! On the contrary, he said it threw him into despair because he now had to face the lack of fulfillment in his marriage. That was what he truly wanted… a loving, harmonious marriage.
He later met Sage, who was working at one of his events, and he said he was immediately drawn to her. He eventually found what his heart had been longing for.
Not what society encourages us to want.
Most people focus on the details of WHAT they want:
* A bigger house.
* A better job.
* More money.
* A successful business.
But here's the question that changed everything for me:
How do you want to feel while you're living your life?
Peaceful?
Confident?
Free?
Energized?
Joyful?
Purposeful?
The truth is, many people like Tony spend years chasing goals they've never stopped to question. Some were inherited from their family. Others came from society's expectations. And some were created by an earlier version of themselves that no longer reflects who they are today.
Your unconscious mind can't move you toward a life that's vague or someone else's version of success.
Clarity isn't just knowing what you want to accomplish.
It's knowing who you're becoming and how you want to experience your life along the way.
This week, ask yourself:
If no one else's expectations mattered, what kind of life would I choose to create?
Not someday.
Starting now.
