When You Fully Step Into Your New Direction FRIDAY (S5) S18:E7 · Inspirations for Your Life

0:24
Well, hello, everyone.
0:26
It is great to be with you on
0:28
Inspirations for Your Life.
0:30
Today, it is May 1st.
0:32
Happy May to everyone.
0:34
Looks like summer is just about here, well,
0:38
almost here.
0:39
All right, guys, so it's great to be
0:40
with you.
0:40
First of all, I want to let you
0:41
know that if this is your very first
0:44
time here, I want to say thank you
0:45
and I want to say welcome.
0:46
If you have been here one time or
0:48
many times, I want to say thank you
0:50
and of course, I want to say welcome
0:52
back.
0:53
If you're thirsty, if you're hungry, I just
0:54
finished having a little bit of lunch.
0:57
I had some RO water here with some,
0:59
well, a hint of cranberry and some ice.
1:03
I do that.
1:04
Sometimes I put, sometimes I do seltzer.
1:07
But anyway, if you're thirsty, if you're hungry,
1:09
feel free to go grab that and come
1:11
on back to the show so we can
1:13
kick this off.
1:14
All right, everyone, it is so great to
1:16
be with everyone.
1:17
And this is the day we are wrapping
1:19
up the master topic.
1:20
What is that?
1:21
Well, we'll get to that in just a
1:23
moment, okay?
1:24
Don't forget to check out, excuse me, BelieveMeAchieved

1:28
inspiring creations.
1:30
So this is, yes, Inspirations for Your Life.
1:34
And I'm John C.
1:36
Morley.
1:36
I'm a serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video
1:39
producer, podcast host, coach, and graduate student, passionate
1:46
lifelong learner.
1:47
And now I'm a published author, and I'm
1:48
very grateful for that.
1:50
And this week, we were talking all about
1:53
diving into what happens when truth gets revealed
1:56
and everything changes.
1:57
Because once you see clearly, you can't go
2:00
back.
2:00
You can't unlearn.
2:02
You can't unknow what you didn't know.
2:04
Direction shifts identity.
2:06
It evolves.
2:07
And the life you're meant to live starts
2:09
demanding your attention.
2:11
Today, as we finalize out the show here,
2:17
today is about what happens when you fully
2:21
step into your direction.
2:23
Now, direction becomes your identity.
2:25
The moment you choose your path, it starts
2:29
defining who you are.
2:34
Identity becomes who you believe you are determines
2:39
what you actually do.
2:40
And so action becomes habit.
2:44
Repeat effort turns intention into automatic behavior.
2:48
Now, habit becomes a lifestyle.
2:50
What you do daily becomes how you live
2:53
completely.
2:54
And I think that's an important thing for
2:55
us to understand.
2:57
Lifestyle becomes character, and your patterns shape the
3:00
person you're known to be.
3:04
Yeah, that's a very, very important thing, guys.
3:11
I think a lot of people, you know,
3:14
they miss that whole concept.
3:15
They miss, like, you know, what this means
3:17
or why this is going on.
3:19
I think that's a very important thing.
3:21
But what I want to tell you is
3:23
that these are really important things that you
3:27
have the power to change.
3:29
You have the power to basically change your
3:35
whole outcome.
3:36
Now, this does not happen overnight, okay?
3:44
And so sometimes people get frustrated because they
3:49
haven't gotten to the promised land yet.
3:51
They haven't gotten their victory, right?
3:54
I had somebody the other day I was
3:55
talking to, and I said, look, I said,
3:56
you know, I'm going to be honest with
3:58
you.
3:58
The reason why this isn't moving forward, the
4:01
reason why you're not getting the job or
4:03
whatever, it's because you are sabotaging yourself.
4:09
You know, you're putting on a false front.
4:14
You're not happy, and you can't fake being
4:17
happy.
4:17
If you fake being happy, people are going
4:18
to know it.
4:19
Nobody wants to hire somebody who's not happy.
4:21
So your character becomes your destiny, guys.
4:24
Who you are consistently decides where you end
4:30
up.
4:31
So your attitude, if you will, determines your
4:36
altitude.
4:38
Yeah.
4:39
Your attitude determines your altitude, okay?
4:47
And I think that's an important thing for
4:48
all of us to understand.
4:51
And I will say understanding is something that
4:55
a lot of people, they just don't, they
4:57
don't get what that is or why that
5:04
is a certain way.
5:05
But it's something we need to become aware
5:08
of, and the more aware that we become
5:10
of these things, well, the more that we
5:12
can actually do stuff, okay?
5:14
The more that we can get to where
5:16
we want to be.
5:18
I think that's probably one of the most
5:20
important things that I can say to you,
5:22
all right?
5:23
So commitment.
5:25
Commitment locks the change.
5:27
Real transformation begins when quitting is no longer
5:31
an option anymore.
5:32
Like, you're not going to say, well, you
5:33
know, if this doesn't work, I'm going to
5:35
fall back and quit.
5:36
You see, you have to stop thinking like
5:38
that.
5:39
When you think like that, that is the
5:41
problem.
5:42
And it's like you're waiting for yourself to
5:46
fail.
5:47
And what if you waited for yourself to
5:49
succeed?
5:52
Your energy will go that way.
5:54
Wherever our thoughts go, right, that's where the
5:58
energy is going to flow.
5:59
So consistently know this, and consistently seals growth.
6:04
Small actions repeated daily create unstoppable results.
6:09
Unstoppable, okay?
6:11
Not results that are going to be one
6:13
time, not results that are going to be
6:15
just for the day or just the hour.
6:18
They are going to change quite a bit.
6:27
That's an important thing to note, guys, okay?
6:32
Very important to know that.
6:37
And I will tell you that it's important
6:40
to understand, okay?
6:45
It's important to understand what this is and
6:51
why this is.
6:53
And I say that to you because this
6:55
can make a huge, huge difference, right?
7:01
A difference in what you want, a difference
7:04
what you're looking for.
7:07
I think those are important things to know,
7:10
right?
7:13
You know, it's about understanding.
7:18
It's about knowing where you come from, okay?
7:25
I think that's an important thing for us
7:27
to realize for a moment, to know that
7:31
this is something that we can do, to
7:34
know that there is so much potential out
7:36
there, okay?
7:39
I think that's an important thing to understand.
7:44
And once we understand that, then we can
7:46
change who we are and what we're about
7:50
and what we're going toward.
7:52
I think that's a very, very important thing.
7:55
So discipline, folks, stabilizes progress.
7:59
And structure will keep you moving when the
8:02
emotions fluctuate.
8:03
Because, you know, our emotions are going to
8:05
go up, they're going to go down.
8:06
But when we have a structure, we keep
8:08
going back to old reliable, all right?
8:11
Focus eliminates drift.
8:13
That's why I always tell you to focus.
8:15
Clarity cuts the distractions and locks in the
8:18
direction we want to head in.
8:22
When we do that enough times, it becomes
8:26
automatic that it just happens.
8:28
Now, systems maintain success.
8:30
What you build sustains you longer than motivation
8:33
ever will.
8:36
That's why it's important to build slow and
8:38
build solid.
8:40
Structure prevents relapse.
8:43
A solid framework keeps you from slipping into
8:45
old habits.
8:47
Execution builds results.
8:49
Ideas only matter, guys, when they're put in
8:52
motion.
8:54
So I think that's a very, very important
8:58
thing for us to know.
9:03
And maybe you can understand, like, you know,
9:07
what this means.
9:09
But I can tell you something, guys.
9:11
This means that you have the potential, okay?
9:16
You have the potential, but maybe you're just
9:19
scared, right?
9:20
Maybe you're just scared because you don't necessarily
9:23
know, like, why things are going a certain
9:27
way.
9:27
And what I want to tell you is
9:29
that you can do this.
9:39
You can do this.
9:40
You absolutely can do this.
9:45
And it makes sense if you can believe
9:51
into it.
9:59
That's important to know, very, very important to
10:04
know.
10:07
And when you understand that, it's important to
10:11
realize where you can go, all right?
10:21
And that could change your life.
10:28
That little thing can change your life so
10:31
much, okay?
10:33
Not because it has the power to do
10:38
it.
10:38
I'll tell you why.
10:40
It's because of the belief you have in
10:42
it that it will have a difference, okay?
10:55
And that can make a very, very big
10:59
difference.
11:08
And that can shift where you're going or
11:10
where you're not going.
11:18
I think that's important to know.
11:21
And I think a lot of people that
11:22
realize that will really appreciate it.
11:32
And I think if you can think about
11:33
things, life can change.
11:36
But again, it doesn't happen overnight.
11:38
So, ladies and gentlemen, results reinforce belief and
11:41
proof strengthens your confidence in what is possible,
11:45
what is possible, what is possible.
11:56
And I know you're probably saying, you know,
11:58
this is crazy.
12:02
But it's important.
12:09
You can do this.
12:16
And it can make a difference to who
12:18
you are and maybe what you're doing.
12:22
Maybe.
12:23
But it's something I believe that will help
12:28
a lot of people, okay?
12:31
It's something I believe that will change who
12:36
you are.
12:38
It will change who you are literally overnight.
12:43
Now, the new world may not show up
12:46
yet.
12:47
So, don't get disillusioned because it hasn't shown
12:51
up.
12:51
Don't get disillusioned over that.
12:52
Because, you see, where you got to didn't
12:57
happen overnight.
12:58
So, to change that, it's like if somebody
12:59
wants to lose weight.
13:00
They don't lose weight overnight, right?
13:02
They have to go through the process, a
13:06
process.
13:06
Now, belief strengthens your identity.
13:09
And what you trust internally reshapes who you
13:13
become.
13:13
Who you become starts to radiate out to
13:17
other people.
13:18
And that lets them want to be with
13:20
you.
13:20
Now, identity drives the future, your future.
13:24
Your self-image determines the life you allow
13:27
yourself to create.
13:28
This is the key, guys.
13:30
You create your self-image.
13:33
It determines where you're going.
13:36
But you have to allow yourself to create
13:39
it.
13:39
Most people say, oh, you know what?
13:42
I'm never going to go anywhere.
13:44
I'm never going to get a job.
13:46
I'm just going to be here.
13:47
I'm just going to do here and just
13:48
leave.
13:48
They get all upset.
13:50
And they don't really believe that this is
13:53
possible.
13:54
So, growth becomes permanent.
13:56
Transformation sticks when it becomes part of you.
14:00
Now, old self fades.
14:03
The past version of you loses power when
14:05
it no longer is being fed.
14:09
I think that's an important one that a
14:11
lot of people will miss, that's being fed,
14:16
right?
14:17
And so, when you think about that, I
14:21
think you can understand a lot of things,
14:25
all right?
14:26
But again, I want to tell you that
14:27
this stuff does not happen overnight.
14:30
But so many people I know, I talk
14:31
to like, oh, John, I want it to
14:32
happen tomorrow.
14:33
Well, and then it doesn't happen.
14:35
And they're like all annoyed because basically it
14:38
didn't happen.
14:39
And that could be a problem for people.
14:41
That can literally sabotage them.
14:43
So, the new self leads, the stronger version
14:47
of you will take control through, not just
14:52
one choice, but daily choices you make every
14:55
single day.
14:56
And so, those choices can actually move you
14:59
forward or they can move you backward, right?
15:04
They can also put you in place.
15:06
They can keep you stagnant, which is definitely
15:08
not a good thing.
15:10
So, I know a lot of you're saying
15:12
to me, hey, John, I've been trying this,
15:15
but it's not working for me.
15:17
And the reason it's not working for you
15:18
is because you aren't giving up before you
15:21
even tried, okay?
15:26
Standards rise.
15:28
What you accept improves as you evolve through
15:31
life.
15:33
Expectations shift, and you begin to demand more
15:36
from yourself and your life when those expectations
15:39
shift.
15:39
Now, behavior stabilizes.
15:42
Discipline patterns create reliable performance.
15:45
Discipline creates performance.
15:48
Structure.
15:49
Results become predictable.
15:52
Success follows when your actions are aligned and
15:55
consistent.
15:55
Let me say that again.
15:56
Success only follows when your actions are aligned
16:00
and they are consistent.
16:03
That means you don't just do them for
16:04
one day.
16:05
You do them every single day in your
16:08
life.
16:09
And I think that's something that a lot
16:11
of people, like they wrestle with that concept,
16:15
right?
16:15
They wrestle with the concept because they don't
16:17
really know what's possible.
16:27
And I think that's something that a lot
16:28
of people will keep trying to figure out.
16:30
Now, chaos.
16:31
It disappears.
16:34
Clarity replaces confusion when the direction is firm.
16:38
But a lot of people can't figure out
16:41
whether they wanna sit down or stand up,
16:43
right?
16:44
They can't figure it out.
16:48
They can't figure it out.
16:53
And so that's important to understand.
16:59
It's very, very important to understand.
17:03
And with that being that way, I think
17:06
a lot of people will say, I don't
17:08
quite get it.
17:11
I don't quite get it because suddenly where
17:14
I wanna be and where I am are
17:16
two different places.
17:18
You can still get there, right?
17:21
But it's gonna take some work.
17:22
It's gonna take some time.
17:24
Now, does it have to take a lot
17:26
of time?
17:26
No.
17:28
Time is predestined based on the action you
17:32
put in, the amount of action, right?
17:36
If you need a lot of time to
17:38
do that action, then it's gonna take a
17:39
lot of time.
17:40
If you decide it's not gonna take a
17:42
lot of time and you do it right
17:42
now, it's gonna happen quickly.
17:44
So control increases.
17:46
Intentional living gives you command over your outcomes.
17:49
That's it.
17:53
Command gives you the authority over them, but
17:55
you still have to act.
17:57
Direction locks it in, guys.
17:58
Once it's aligned, your path stops wavering.
18:02
You can decide to lock it in today
18:04
and you can start being on that success
18:06
trajectory.
18:07
But if you don't lock it in, you'll
18:09
be like, oh, I don't know.
18:10
Maybe I'll start tomorrow.
18:11
Maybe I'll start next week, maybe next year.
18:14
And then the day keeps moving and moving
18:17
and moving and you never really start.
18:20
Purpose becomes clear, folks.
18:22
Meaning reveals itself through committed action.
18:25
When you're committed, things start to slowly turn
18:29
up.
18:30
Momentum stabilizes and progress compounds when you stop
18:33
starting over.
18:35
So people say, oh, you know what?
18:36
It's not right, I gotta do it over.
18:38
No, you might just have to change them.
18:39
You don't have to start completely over.
18:43
You do not need to start completely over.
18:45
There's no need to start completely over.
18:46
But a lot of people think, oh, I
18:48
gotta start completely over.
18:49
No, life becomes intentional.
18:52
Every move is guided by purpose, not an
18:54
impulse.
18:55
Most people in life, less than 5%
18:58
of people in life live an intentional life.
19:00
That doesn't mean they don't live a good
19:01
life, but if they live an intentional life,
19:03
then guess what?
19:04
They can do almost anything they want to
19:07
do.
19:08
Now, you become what you build, okay?
19:12
What you have built for yourself.
19:13
Your daily efforts shape the person you ultimately
19:16
are.
19:17
And this week is about more.
19:21
It's not just an inspiration.
19:24
It's about a truth.
19:26
It's about an understanding.
19:29
It's about a purpose, an intention, a movement,
19:33
a clarity, oh yes, and a renewal.
19:36
So read your life closely and choose the
19:39
version of yourself that rises.
19:42
I think a lot of people get scared
19:44
about rising.
19:45
You know why?
19:45
Because they don't necessarily know what's gonna happen
19:48
or why it's gonna be that way.
19:51
And I think that happens to a lot
19:53
of people because again, they are stuck in
19:56
the middle.
19:57
They don't know why something's gonna go a
20:00
certain way.
20:02
They just don't know.
20:04
And I'm here to tell you that you
20:05
can make these changes in your life if
20:08
you really are intentional with your life.
20:11
A lot of people will not become intentional.
20:14
Not because they can't.
20:18
It's because, well, they're lazy, right?
20:21
It's because, no, it's because they're comfortable where
20:24
they are right now in their life.
20:27
And they're afraid that if we, well, go
20:31
a different way, we might get uncomfortable.
20:35
And that scares some people.
20:39
That scares some people, right?
20:42
And if that scares you, then you never
20:46
can move forward.
20:47
You never can move up the ladder.
20:52
So moving up the ladder is not hard,
20:56
but it is lonely.
20:58
It's lonely.
21:00
So you have to understand that you've gotta
21:03
be your best cheerleader.
21:06
When you know that you're your best cheerleader,
21:09
that's when miracles start to happen.
21:13
You know, a lot of them say to
21:14
me, John, you know, I'm waiting for my
21:15
friend to support me.
21:17
Don't wait for your friend to support you.
21:19
Support yourself.
21:21
I'm not being nasty.
21:23
I'm being a realist, right?
21:26
If I would have waited for people to
21:29
support me to write the book, the book
21:30
would have never gotten written.
21:34
You need to be your own cheerleader, okay?
21:39
You need to be your own supporter.
21:41
But I get that a lot of people
21:43
are not that because of one thing.
21:46
You know what it is?
21:47
They're scared.
21:49
They're worried about being uncomfortable, or should I
21:53
say, not just being uncomfortable, but they're worrying
21:55
about feeling uncomfortable.
21:58
And I think that's hard for a lot
21:59
of people to understand that it's not just
22:04
something that happens once, being uncomfortable is gonna
22:09
happen over and over again.
22:13
And if you can understand that you've got
22:15
to learn how to adapt to your surroundings,
22:19
right?
22:19
Learn how to adapt.
22:20
And when you can learn how to adapt,
22:23
the world, ladies and gentlemen, becomes your oyster.
22:28
Your world becomes your oyster.
22:37
Does that make sense?
22:43
And if you know that, then maybe there's
22:47
things you can do in your life, right?
22:50
Maybe there's things you can do in your
22:51
life, and maybe you'll understand this one thing.
22:55
What is that one thing?
22:57
That one thing is that you can make
23:01
a difference.
23:08
You can make a difference.
23:13
You can make that difference.
23:17
You can make the difference.
23:25
But people are scared to make the difference.
23:29
Not because they can't, but because they're scared.
23:35
Because they're scared.
23:40
They're scared.
23:47
And that one thing that you do will
23:51
maybe change your trajectory for your entire life,
23:55
not just for one day, not
24:05
just for one day, but for your entire
24:09
life.
24:13
And I know a lot of you are
24:14
saying to me, John, you don't know what
24:16
I've gone through.
24:17
No, I don't.
24:18
But we've all been through some stuff, okay?
24:20
We've all been through it.
24:22
And if we've all been through it, then
24:23
we know what's going on.
24:27
We know what's happening in our life, right?
24:30
We know about it.
24:32
Why?
24:34
Because we're in life.
24:36
And life is not always easy.
24:39
But I find that when we have learned
24:42
to overcome or to, let's say, compensate for
24:48
the challenges in our life, life gets better.
24:52
Life gets better.
24:55
And then, as I said, it doesn't happen
24:57
overnight, but it happens over time.
25:00
And as this happens over time, people are
25:02
like, wow, why didn't I do that before?
25:04
That was not as hard as I thought
25:07
it was going to be.
25:09
It's not as hard as I thought it
25:12
was gonna be.
25:13
So this is important, guys.
25:15
Very important.
25:19
Turn every empty space into growth.
25:23
And build a life that reflects intentioner, intention,
25:28
strength, and purpose.
25:31
The question I wanna ask you right now,
25:33
are you living a life of intention?
25:36
Or are you just going through the motions
25:39
of it?
25:41
Do you find that your days are just
25:43
kind of sifting by?
25:45
Do you think the reason for that is
25:47
because you just are tired?
25:52
No, it's because you're not living a life
25:53
on purpose.
25:56
And living a life on purpose is not
25:58
hard, but it does take a little bit
26:02
of work if you've never done it before.
26:06
A little work.
26:07
Not a lot of work, but a little
26:10
work.
26:10
And that little work can really make a
26:13
big difference for you and for so many
26:16
people out there.
26:19
But I wanna tell you something.
26:22
If you're still gonna be on the fence
26:24
saying, oh, you know, I don't know if
26:25
I'm gonna try that, or this isn't gonna
26:27
be comfortable, then it's not gonna be comfortable,
26:32
okay?
26:33
You've gotta embrace it.
26:34
Okay, it's not gonna be comfortable.
26:35
It might not be the most pleasant thing
26:37
for me, but I'm gonna get through it
26:39
and I'm gonna do it.
26:42
Why?
26:44
Because I wanna live a great life.
26:47
I wanna live an amazing life where I
26:51
can be my ultimate creator.
26:57
Again, you can do it.
26:59
Don't let others sidetrack you.
27:05
Ladies and gentlemen, you can catch the full
27:07
week of these episodes here at BelieveMeAchieved.com,
27:11
as well as check out my book.
27:13
Where clarity meets action and momentum becomes your
27:16
new normal.
27:17
If you're looking at what the Joneses are
27:19
doing, what everybody else is doing, it's like,
27:20
oh, well, they're not doing it.
27:21
Just because they're uncomfortable doing something doesn't mean
27:25
that you can't do it.
27:27
So yes, it's gonna be uncomfortable.
27:29
Yes, it's not gonna be pleasant.
27:30
It's gonna be painful.
27:30
No, it's gonna be uncomfortable.
27:32
Like I said, writing with the wrong foot,
27:35
that can be a big, big problem, right?
27:38
If you write with the wrong foot, how
27:40
do you deal with that?
27:43
I think that's a very important thing to
27:46
note, okay?
27:49
A very, very important thing to note.
27:54
So I want to really understand that.
28:01
Do you know what I mean?
28:03
I think the reason it's hard is because
28:05
some people just, they get scared.
28:07
Have yourself a great one, everyone.
28:08
I'll catch you real soon.
28:09
Be well, everyone.
