  burnout.

  If you're thirsty, if you're hungry or what
• 1:08
  have you, feel free to go get yourself
• 1:10
  an RO water.
• 1:12
  Mine is pretty good because it has water,
• 1:14
  RO water, fresh, and it has lemon, which
• 1:16
  is really, really delicious.
• 1:18
  All right, guys, without any further ado, let's
• 1:20
  get into the show.
• 1:22
  All right.
• 1:22
  This is Inspirations for Your Life.
• 1:25
  How people lock in a new direction, series
• 1:27
  five, show 17, and it is episode number
• 1:32
  seven, guys.
• 1:33
  Yes.
• 1:34
  This ends the master topic of the week.
• 1:36
  We start a brand new one tomorrow.
• 1:38
  This episode of Inspirations for Your Life with
• 1:40
  myself, John C.
• 1:42
  Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
• 1:46
  podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, passionate
• 1:50
  lifelong learner, and now a published author exploring
• 1:54
  how people stop drifting and lock in a
• 1:57
  real lasting direction in life.
• 1:59
  This is not about motivation, guys.
• 2:02
  This is about transformation that actually sticks.
• 2:06
  And I know those are things that a
• 2:08
  lot of people don't really equate with the
• 2:10
  two, but they do connect with each other.
• 2:12
  Because you see, real world change is not
• 2:14
  created in a single moment or a second.
• 2:17
  It's built through structure, repetition, and identity over
• 2:20
  time.
• 2:21
  And most people, well, they miss the boat
• 2:24
  on that.
• 2:25
  They think change is only emotional, but change
• 2:27
  is more than emotion.
• 2:29
  It's a structure.
• 2:30
  Let's break it down together, okay?
• 2:32
  Let's start with the core shift.
• 2:34
  Most people drift through life because, well, they
• 2:37
  rely on impulses instead of a design or
• 2:40
  a plan.
• 2:41
  They react instead of decide.
• 2:43
  And we've talked about the importance this week
• 2:45
  about being proactive rather than reactive.
• 2:48
  They repeat instead of evolving, oh, that's what
• 2:52
  they do.
• 2:52
  But when someone begins to understand how direction
• 2:55
  is actually built and orchestrated, everything magically changes.
• 3:00
  Because you see, direction is not found, guys.
• 3:03
  Direction is created.
• 3:05
  And I think when you understand that, you'll
• 3:09
  appreciate this.
• 3:12
  That once it's created, it must be reinforced.
• 3:15
  And I think that's something, again, that a
• 3:17
  lot of people in life, they tend to
• 3:20
  miss that whole concept.
• 3:23
  And again, that's something that a lot of
• 3:26
  people wish they knew the truth to.
• 3:29
  But then again, they actually don't.
• 3:33
  So that's a big, big, that's a really
• 3:37
  big problem, guys.
• 3:38
  A really, really big problem that I hope
• 3:41
  a lot of people will actually choose to
• 3:44
  understand.
• 3:45
  But it is important to know why this
• 3:49
  works this way.
• 3:50
  Because change does not happen, as I said,
• 3:53
  overnight, guys.
• 3:54
  It does not happen overnight.
• 3:55
  So how change actually locks in.
• 3:58
  Let's talk about that.
• 3:59
  How change locks in.
• 4:01
  So decisions create direction.
• 4:05
  Every ship begins with a conscious choice.
• 4:08
  That's right.
• 4:09
  A conscious choice.
• 4:12
  A conscious choice to either be doing something
• 4:15
  or to not be doing something.
• 4:18
  That is really the awareness and understanding that
• 4:20
  I want you guys to realize today.
• 4:23
  Is that that understanding, that little bit of
• 4:26
  a moment where you're like, wait a minute.
• 4:28
  Maybe I should be doing this differently.
• 4:29
  Maybe I should be saying something differently.
• 4:31
  Maybe I should be feeling different.
• 4:33
  Maybe I should be thinking different.
• 4:35
  That's what actually moves the needle.
• 4:37
  And we talked about the needle before.
• 4:38
  So on old meters, the needle basically would
• 4:41
  move with any type of volts or electricity.
• 4:44
  So when we say moves the needle, we
• 4:45
  mean what's going to cause it to move
• 4:48
  forward.
• 4:48
  And so moving the needle is just an
• 4:51
  old terminology to show that something is changing,
• 4:55
  even though it might be very slight.
• 4:57
  So ladies and gentlemen, commitments change.
• 5:02
  You see, without commitment, change collapses.
• 5:08
  Change collapses.
• 5:10
  I think that's another one that a lot
• 5:11
  of people wish they knew, but they don't
• 5:14
  always know.
• 5:15
  And they're like, I wish I knew that.
• 5:17
  And, you know, don't beat yourself in the
• 5:19
  head because you don't know that.
• 5:21
  I think the fact that you're here now
• 5:23
  and you want to make this change is
• 5:24
  really one of the biggest and greatest things
• 5:27
  that you can actually do in your life.
• 5:29
  So give yourself a pat on the back
• 5:31
  for coming today and watching the show.
• 5:36
  So consistency, guys, locks progress.
• 5:42
  Repetition will build the stability.
• 5:47
  Repetition will build the stability.
• 5:49
  And again, I know these are just crazy
• 5:52
  things, but they're truth.
• 5:53
  Consistency locks you in, it hones you in,
• 5:55
  and the repetition makes you stable, makes you
• 5:58
  reliable.
• 6:00
  I think that's an important thing to note.
• 6:04
  You know, what does that mean for people?
• 6:06
  I think for a lot of people, it
• 6:08
  means, well, it means different things.
• 6:11
  So habits, ladies and gentlemen, they reinforce identity.
• 6:16
  What you repeat defines who you become.
• 6:20
  Let me say that again, what you repeat
• 6:23
  defines who you become.
• 6:31
  What you repeat defines who you become.
• 6:35
  So identity drives behavior.
• 6:38
  We probably know that.
• 6:39
  But self-perception shapes action.
• 6:42
  Our self-perception, which you might say, well,
• 6:45
  gee, John, that doesn't mean much.
• 6:47
  But yeah, your perceptions actually cause you to
• 6:53
  take or not take specific actions in life.
• 6:57
  I think that's a very important thing, okay?
• 7:01
  And ladies and gentlemen, behavior creates results.
• 7:07
  Behavior creates the results, but actions determine the
• 7:11
  outcomes.
• 7:12
  So behavior creates the results, but action determines
• 7:15
  the outcomes.
• 7:20
  That's another very interesting one that I think
• 7:22
  a lot of us don't think about is,
• 7:24
  you know, everybody wants to rush and do
• 7:25
  something because, you know, the Joneses are doing
• 7:27
  it.
• 7:28
  But is this in alignment with who I
• 7:31
  am right now?
• 7:32
  Or am I just trying to do something
• 7:34
  for another crazy reason?
• 7:36
  I mean, that's really what it comes down
• 7:38
  to, okay?
• 7:40
  I know some of you are saying to
• 7:44
  me, John, you know, this doesn't make a
• 7:46
  lot of sense.
• 7:47
  But really, it does make sense.
• 7:50
  It makes a lot of sense.
• 7:52
  So much sense that you could understand one
• 7:55
  thing.
• 7:58
  And what you can understand is that this
• 8:02
  can make a very big change in your
• 8:05
  life, okay?
• 8:08
  It can make a very, very big change
• 8:11
  in your life.
• 8:12
  And if this makes a very, very big
• 8:14
  change in your life, then, and only then,
• 8:17
  guys, can you actually move this forward?
• 8:24
  And you might say to me, John, I
• 8:26
  don't really know how to move anything forward
• 8:29
  because nothing seems to, like, click with me.
• 8:35
  All right, I get that.
• 8:36
  But I think the best way to understand
• 8:46
  this is to think about where you are
• 8:50
  right now in your life, not where you
• 8:53
  were yesterday, not where you're going to be
• 8:55
  tomorrow or next week, but think about where
• 8:57
  you are in your life right now at
• 9:00
  this very moment.
• 9:02
  Because ladies and gentlemen, results build the proof,
• 9:06
  okay?
• 9:06
  Results build the proof, but proof strengthens confidence.
• 9:13
  Result builds the proof, but proof strengthens the
• 9:18
  confidence.
• 9:19
  And that's another one of those ones where
• 9:21
  people are like, oh, gee, I wish I
• 9:22
  knew what was going on, right?
• 9:24
  I wish I knew about that.
• 9:27
  And I think for whatever reason, sometimes things
• 9:31
  don't click for us because maybe we're expecting
• 9:35
  things at the wrong time or on our
• 9:38
  timeline, but not on other people's timelines.
• 9:47
  So that's a thing to definitely, you know,
• 9:55
  understand.
• 9:56
  Let's move forward with this.
• 10:00
  Our belief, ladies and gentlemen, sustains momentum.
• 10:05
  Our belief sustains momentum.
• 10:10
  And so when we say our belief sustains
• 10:14
  momentum, we have to understand that our mindset
• 10:16
  will always fuel the persistence.
• 10:19
  So our belief gets us going, right?
• 10:22
  It gets the engine started.
• 10:24
  But it's actually our mindset that fuels.
• 10:28
  It's kind of like, you know, when we
• 10:29
  turn on the car, the spark plug, the
• 10:34
  alternator, that gets the car going, that gets
• 10:38
  the momentum of the engine started.
• 10:40
  But the mindset, the juice that keeps the
• 10:43
  car going is our fuel, right?
• 10:47
  And I think if we know what our
• 10:49
  fuel is, then we can actually make positive
• 10:54
  change in our lives.
• 10:56
  I'm not saying that that's going to be
• 10:58
  easy.
• 10:58
  And sometimes getting the fuel might be harder
• 11:00
  than figuring out what fuel you need.
• 11:02
  But once you know what fuel you need,
• 11:04
  then you need to go get it.
• 11:06
  You need to go get it.
• 11:09
  That's an important thing, guys.
• 11:13
  You have to go get it.
• 11:17
  And so momentum compounds, guys, the growth.
• 11:26
  Small wins multiply over time.
• 11:31
  Small wins, guys, they multiply over time.
• 11:35
  So momentum compounds the growth.
• 11:40
  But the small wins keep us excited to
• 11:44
  keep going.
• 11:44
  Because when we see the results are multiplied,
• 11:47
  when we see that it's amped up, that,
• 11:49
  hey, wow, this is like amazing, we want
• 11:52
  to just become all involved.
• 11:57
  And so a part of it is emotional,
• 11:59
  guys.
• 12:00
  Another part is not emotional.
• 12:02
  I think that's a very important thing for
• 12:06
  us to understand is that when we're making
• 12:10
  decisions in life, right, we can't make them
• 12:13
  on emotion.
• 12:14
  We have to make them on the truth.
• 12:18
  We have to make them on facts.
• 12:21
  We have to make them on facts.
• 12:24
  That's important.
• 12:27
  Discipline, guys, stabilizes the outcomes.
• 12:33
  This one stabilizes the outcomes.
• 12:35
  And it also prevents the collapse of systems.
• 12:43
  It prevents the collapse of systems.
• 12:47
  And again, this is something that you're hearing,
• 12:49
  but words don't mean anything directly.
• 12:54
  It stabilizes outcomes, right?
• 12:56
  We stay disciplined.
• 12:57
  And the structure that we have prevents the
• 13:00
  collapse.
• 13:00
  Let's see if I can give that to
• 13:01
  you a little better way.
• 13:02
  So you're playing football, you're playing baseball.
• 13:05
  The discipline in practicing every day will stabilize
• 13:09
  our outcome so we can become a better
• 13:12
  player.
• 13:12
  But it is the structure of those days,
• 13:19
  those times that make it work.
• 13:22
  There was somebody that had this very interesting
• 13:24
  shirt on a few days ago at school.
• 13:26
  And it said something I've never seen before,
• 13:28
  but it's a very interesting phrase.
• 13:29
  And it says, don't let the fear of
• 13:34
  striking out keep you from playing the game.
• 13:40
  Think about that again for a moment.
• 13:42
  Don't let the fear of striking out prevent
• 13:44
  you from playing the game.
• 13:45
  So let's say that another way.
• 13:47
  Don't let the fear of being unsuccessful prevent
• 13:56
  you from trying to be successful.
• 13:57
  Don't let the fear of taking a risk
• 14:00
  prevent you from taking some risks.
• 14:04
  Does that make sense?
• 14:07
  And so these are things we don't just
• 14:09
  see as words.
• 14:11
  But these are important parts of our life
• 14:14
  that we can reflect on.
• 14:17
  Parts of our life we can reflect on.
• 14:21
  So we know about progress and we know
• 14:24
  about discipline.
• 14:24
  And when we know these things are viable,
• 14:26
  we know that we can have a very
• 14:28
  interesting life.
• 14:32
  We know that.
• 14:34
  We know that.
• 14:38
  So keep execution alive and structure prevents the
• 14:43
  relapse.
• 14:52
  So our structure prevents the relapse.
• 14:55
  And then we can order in that way
• 14:58
  to protect the noise.
• 15:00
  Because I think sometimes we don't do what
• 15:02
  we want to do.
• 15:03
  You know why?
• 15:06
  Because we're too stuck on the noise around
• 15:09
  us.
• 15:09
  So structure will prevent any relapse.
• 15:11
  And order will protect the direction.
• 15:14
  So we have some structure, right, to practice,
• 15:18
  to do something.
• 15:20
  And we keep following that structure.
• 15:22
  We are going to get better, whether we
• 15:24
  know it or not.
• 15:28
  Focus, ladies and gentlemen, removes distraction.
• 15:31
  That shouldn't be new.
• 15:33
  But focus removes distraction.
• 15:34
  And clarity, what does clarity do?
• 15:38
  Clarity does something pretty unique.
• 15:40
  Clarity eliminates the noise.
• 15:42
  And we just talked about how important it
• 15:43
  is to get rid of the noise.
• 15:47
  So clarity is important.
• 15:51
  Focus removes the distraction that we might currently
• 15:53
  have.
• 15:54
  Maybe we're studying.
• 15:55
  And maybe it's our phone.
• 15:56
  So we need to silence it or turn
• 15:57
  it off, right?
• 16:01
  Maybe it's our, let's say, compulsion that we
• 16:06
  want to go check email.
• 16:07
  That's not related to what we're doing.
• 16:10
  And those are all distractions.
• 16:14
  You know, some people might decide they have
• 16:15
  their pen.
• 16:16
  So they're going to keep clicking it.
• 16:18
  Because they just like to play.
• 16:20
  But that's a distraction, right?
• 16:24
  That's a distraction.
• 16:27
  Focus will always remove the distraction.
• 16:29
  So if we stay focused, clarity will eliminate
• 16:33
  the noise that we're trying to get rid
• 16:38
  of.
• 16:39
  Repetition, ladies and gentlemen, will build mastery.
• 16:44
  Consistency will develop the skill.
• 16:46
  Let me say that again.
• 16:50
  Repetition will always build mastery.
• 16:54
  Consistency will truly hone you in to develop
• 16:57
  the skill.
• 17:00
  Oh, I don't want to do that again.
• 17:00
  I've done it so many times.
• 17:03
  Repetition is a teacher.
• 17:06
  Repetition gets us to see things differently than
• 17:09
  the way we first saw them.
• 17:15
  So repetition builds mastery.
• 17:17
  And consistency will develop the skill.
• 17:21
  It will develop the skill and the depth
• 17:26
  behind it.
• 17:27
  Now, mastery, guys, will build confidence.
• 17:31
  Sure it will.
• 17:32
  But it is the competence that reinforces the
• 17:36
  execution.
• 17:39
  Wow.
• 17:39
  So mastery will always build confidence, right?
• 17:44
  But competence reinforces the execution.
• 17:48
  And guess what?
• 17:48
  We're in this endless positive loop where we
• 17:51
  keep doing more, more, more, more, more.
• 17:53
  And we keep getting better.
• 17:57
  The more I believe in myself, I can
• 18:02
  do.
• 18:02
  The more I can do, the more I
• 18:04
  believe in myself.
• 18:04
  Let's take that from a wealth foundation, okay?
• 18:08
  The more I have gratitude in myself, the
• 18:11
  more I expect money to come.
• 18:13
  The more I expect money to come, the
• 18:15
  more gratitude I have in myself.
• 18:16
  And that could be a whole loop, guys.
• 18:19
  It just goes back and forth and back
• 18:20
  and forth.
• 18:21
  And I think that's a very, very important
• 18:24
  thing.
• 18:25
  Very important thing.
• 18:31
  I think when we start to notice these,
• 18:35
  okay, life changes for us.
• 18:44
  Confidence, ladies and gentlemen, strengthens the action as
• 18:47
  well.
• 18:48
  Our confidence will strengthen the action, which is
• 18:50
  strengthening the task, which is strengthening the method,
• 18:53
  the procedure.
• 18:55
  But it's the belief that improves following through.
• 19:05
  The belief that improves following through.
• 19:10
  So confidence will always strengthen the action that
• 19:13
  we'll get better at something.
• 19:15
  We'll be more skilled, right?
• 19:18
  But the belief always improves the follow through,
• 19:26
  right?
• 19:27
  The sustainability.
• 19:28
  That brings it to my next point.
• 19:31
  Action will always sustain a direction.
• 19:34
  Action always sustains a direction.
• 19:36
  Movement, on the other hand, keeps the alignment
• 19:41
  intact.
• 19:42
  So action sustains the direction.
• 19:45
  Movement keeps alignment intact.
• 19:47
  So action, I'm gonna practice every day to
• 19:49
  become a better golfer, okay?
• 19:53
  The movement of me practicing to become a
• 19:56
  better golfer will keep my alignment intact and
• 19:59
  therefore I will become a better golfer.
• 20:07
  Direction becomes identity.
• 20:09
  And behavior defines the self-concept.
• 20:13
  So our direction becomes who we are.
• 20:18
  Which, by the way, are linked to our
• 20:19
  core values, how we're wired, okay?
• 20:26
  The direction becomes identity.
• 20:27
  Behavior defines the self-concept.
• 20:33
  It defines the self-concept, which again is
• 20:36
  made up by our perceptions and how we
• 20:38
  are wired.
• 20:42
  Identity drives success.
• 20:46
  The identity drives success.
• 20:47
  Who you believe you are shapes the outcomes.
• 20:53
  So your identity will always drive success, but
• 20:56
  who you believe you are will shape the
• 20:58
  outcomes of that.
• 21:03
  Repetition locks transformation.
• 21:07
  Permanent repetition locks transformation.
• 21:11
  You get in that loop, you keep doing
• 21:12
  this over and over and over and over
• 21:13
  and over again, right?
• 21:16
  Question for you.
• 21:17
  Why most people fail to change is probably
• 21:20
  what you want to know.
• 21:22
  Here's the reason.
• 21:23
  Most people do not change is not because
• 21:26
  they lack the knowledge.
• 21:28
  Most people are incredibly smart.
• 21:30
  It's because they lack the structure necessary.
• 21:33
  The people that don't become good athletes are
• 21:37
  not because they don't have the athletic skill
• 21:38
  or the smarts to do it.
• 21:40
  It's because they lack the structure of the
• 21:42
  program, which is why they go to a
• 21:43
  trainer.
• 21:46
  They start strong, right?
• 21:49
  They start very strong.
• 21:51
  You feel they're never going to be, let's
• 21:54
  say, messed with.
• 21:56
  But then how the blue they stop.
• 21:58
  It's like the people on New Year's Eve,
• 22:01
  they say, oh, I'm going to go to
• 22:02
  the gym every single day.
• 22:05
  Great, but I'm going to wait until the
• 22:10
  second.
• 22:10
  Fine, but I'm going to go every single
• 22:12
  day.
• 22:12
  And they go every single day for one
• 22:14
  week, for two weeks, for three weeks, or
• 22:15
  maybe by the end of the month, they're
• 22:16
  like, you know what?
• 22:17
  I'm kind of busy today.
• 22:18
  I'm not going to go today.
• 22:20
  And then once they break that pattern, they
• 22:25
  stop going to the gym.
• 22:27
  Then they slowly drift.
• 22:31
  And it just seems like this isn't working
• 22:33
  for them anymore.
• 22:34
  That's what it seems like.
• 22:35
  They try again.
• 22:37
  And then guess what happens?
• 22:40
  They reset.
• 22:41
  And the cycle repeats.
• 22:43
  Oh, I'm not meant to go to the
• 22:44
  gym.
• 22:45
  I never do.
• 22:46
  Because you don't stay structured.
• 22:51
  But repetition, ladies and gentlemen, without structure does
• 22:55
  not create progress.
• 22:56
  Let me say that again.
• 22:57
  Repetition without a structure does not create a
• 23:00
  progress.
• 23:08
  So if you have a structure, but you
• 23:10
  don't have repetition, you don't get progress.
• 23:13
  If you don't have structure, no repetition, you
• 23:19
  don't get progress.
• 23:19
  If you have repetition and no structure, you
• 23:22
  don't get a progress.
• 23:22
  So no repetition with structure, no progress.
• 23:27
  No structure with repetition, also no progress.
• 23:32
  You know, it's a lot of work.
• 23:34
  It's not something you do in five minutes.
• 23:36
  So a lot of people don't want to
• 23:38
  put the extra effort in.
• 23:40
  What does it do?
• 23:41
  It creates a sense of frustration in their
• 23:43
  mind.
• 23:44
  And they start to feel a little bit
• 23:46
  uncomfortable.
• 23:48
  So they don't want to be uncomfortable.
• 23:49
  So they stop.
• 23:52
  And I said to you guys that success
• 23:54
  doesn't lie where it's comfortable.
• 23:56
  It starts where it's uncomfortable.
• 23:58
  Not painful, but just uncomfortable.
• 23:59
  The break point moment, old habits will fade.
• 24:05
  When new repetition is strong enough, new standards
• 24:09
  will rise to the top.
• 24:12
  And the expectations will begin to shift expectations.
• 24:16
  And they will increase performance.
• 24:20
  Baseline resets.
• 24:22
  And the results now become predictable.
• 24:28
  They become predictable.
• 24:31
  But all the times there has to be
• 24:32
  a slight falling for this to take place.
• 24:35
  So systems replace randomness.
• 24:39
  Stability replaces chaos.
• 24:41
  So systems replace randomness.
• 24:43
  Stability replaces chaos.
• 24:45
  Another way of saying that is we need
• 24:47
  structure.
• 24:47
  We need repetition.
• 24:48
  That's all we're doing, guys.
• 24:49
  We're saying that in a different way.
• 24:53
  We're saying that in a completely different way.
• 24:57
  That's important, guys.
• 24:59
  Really important.
• 25:03
  So uncertainty control replaces the drift.
• 25:08
  Intention replaces reaction.
• 25:12
  Clarity replaces confusion.
• 25:14
  And focus replaces that noise.
• 25:17
  Growth becomes normal.
• 25:19
  Progress becomes, well, default behavior.
• 25:21
  And direction stays intentional.
• 25:23
  Nothing is accidental anymore.
• 25:25
  You become what you build.
• 25:27
  You see, ladies and gentlemen, your identity is
• 25:30
  formed through the execution of what you do
• 25:32
  and don't do.
• 25:33
  Now, here's the kicker.
• 25:35
  The real truth most people will always miss.
• 25:40
  You do not rise to your goals.
• 25:44
  Nope.
• 25:45
  You fall to your systems.
• 25:49
  What does that mean?
• 25:51
  Your life is not shaped by what you
• 25:53
  want.
• 25:54
  It is shaped by what you repeat.
• 25:57
  And you see, repetition is stronger than intention.
• 26:02
  This can be physically.
• 26:03
  This can be mentally.
• 26:05
  What you repeat, you get.
• 26:10
  What you want, you don't.
• 26:14
  That's interesting.
• 26:16
  So every time, ladies and gentlemen, this is
• 26:19
  true.
• 26:19
  How people actually lock into a life, a
• 26:23
  new life, when people finally change permanently, it
• 26:26
  is not because they become more motivated.
• 26:28
  Nope.
• 26:29
  It's because they became more structured.
• 26:32
  They stopped negotiating with themselves.
• 26:34
  They stopped restarting.
• 26:37
  They stopped waiting for perfect timing, because there
• 26:40
  never will be a perfect time.
• 26:41
  Instead, they built rhythm.
• 26:44
  They built consistency.
• 26:46
  They built identity through repetition.
• 26:48
  Remember, we need repetition and we need structure.
• 26:51
  Can't have success without either.
• 26:53
  And that is when everything just will start
• 26:55
  to shift.
• 26:57
  The final transformation, guys, and point is this.
• 27:00
  Real change happens when action becomes consistent and
• 27:05
  consistency becomes your identity.
• 27:08
  Your identity becomes automatic, atomic, and the behavior
• 27:12
  becomes your direction, and you lock in.
• 27:15
  And this is when, ladies and gentlemen, life
• 27:16
  stops being random.
• 27:18
  It starts being intentional.
• 27:21
  Hope that makes sense to everyone.
• 27:23
  This week, we're covering things pretty amazing, and
• 27:27
  we're wrapping this up.
• 27:28
  But it's more about inspiration.
• 27:29
  It's about awareness.
• 27:31
  It's about turning into structure, and structure turning
• 27:34
  into identity.
• 27:35
  Because once your actions become consistent, your direction
• 27:39
  becomes permanent.
• 27:42
  And once your direction becomes permanent, your life
• 27:45
  becomes intentional.
• 27:50
  Live an intentional life, and you'll feel like
• 27:53
  you're a new person.
• 27:55
  Ladies and gentlemen, you can catch the full
• 27:56
  episodes of my shows and all my great
• 27:58
  content at BelieveMeAchieved.com.
• 28:00
  Because clarity is not enough.
• 28:02
  Execution is what locks everything in.
• 28:05
  What are you waiting for?
• 28:06
  Start being consistent and have structure, and your
• 28:10
  goals will become a reality.
• 28:12
  Have a great one, everyone.
