Whoa, hey guys, and good day everyone, it
0:28
is John C.
0:28
Morley here, Serial Entrepreneur.
0:31
Today's Friday, that's right, it's the end of
0:34
our week and we start a brand new
0:36
master topic tomorrow, which ladies and gentlemen, is
0:40
Saturday and that is the 21st.
0:43
Today's Saturday the 20th, hope you guys had
0:46
a great St. Joseph's Day just the other
0:49
day, so hope that went well for you
0:51
guys, had some sweet pastries and whatnot and
0:55
had some fun with family and friends and
0:58
got to understand where St. Joseph came from
1:03
and the humbleness of the orange on the
1:04
table.
1:05
All right, guys, if this is your very
1:07
first time joining me, I want to say
1:08
thank you from the bottom of my heart.
1:10
If you've been here many times before, well,
1:12

1:13

1:16

1:18

1:23
So if you're thirsty or you're hungry, I
1:25

1:31
good, really delicious, nice and hot too.
1:36
Feel free to go get yourself one or
1:38
maybe some RO water, maybe a snack or
1:40
another beverage or something sweet, hot, tart, healthy
1:44
or not, that's totally up to you.
1:47
If you've been here before or not, don't
1:48

1:50
If you're watching, you can see my hat,
1:52
otherwise, I'll tell you what my hat says.
1:53
After the show, go to believemeachieved.com, you
1:56
can find my short form content, my long
1:57
form content and all kinds of great stuff
2:00
that will help you become a better version
2:03
of yourself.
2:05
All right, let's kick the show off, you're
2:08
ready?
2:08
I know I am, all right.
2:10
So I'm John C.
2:12
Morley, serial entrepreneur, I'm an engineer, marketing specialist,
2:15
video producer, podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, passionate
2:20
lifelong learner, a graduate student and pretty soon,
2:24
yes, guys, I will be a published author.
2:26
My first motivational book is coming out in
2:30
just a short period of time.
2:33
It will be announced after the dedication to
2:36
my parents, which will actually be on April,
2:39
I think it's the 16th or the 17th
2:41
and then once that's done, it will be
2:45
made public what the title is because I'm
2:46
not telling anyone and the book will officially
2:49
start shipping on May 1st.
2:54
My book tour will be officially kicking off
2:57
in June, but we have a few local
2:59
libraries we'll be doing some tours with in
3:01
May, so really excited about that as well.
3:04
So today's episode, ladies and gentlemen, is about
3:07
living intentionally.
3:10
How clarity, purpose and deliberate action fuel our
3:15
momentum, our resilience and meaningful progress in our
3:20
life.
3:20
So I'm going to explore 30 actual points
3:23
that you can choose to use immediately and
3:27
they'll help start to sharpen your focus, strengthen
3:32
your discipline and align your daily actions with
3:35
your highest goals.
3:38
Live intentionally, that's what it's about, guys, 30
3:41
points that'll change your life.
3:43
Purpose drives motivation.
3:46
When you connect daily, guys, actions to a
3:49
larger purpose arise.
3:53
Every effort gains meaning.
3:55
Number two, guys, intentional living builds fulfillment.
4:02
Deliberate choices lead to satisfaction and pride in
4:07
progress.
4:09
Clear priorities, strength and focus, knowing what matters
4:14
most prevents wasted time and energy.
4:17
Purpose fuels persistence.
4:20
Stronger motivation carries you through challenges and setbacks.
4:24
Intentional action builds progress and every thoughtful step
4:28
moves you closer to your vision.
4:32
Meaning strengthens resilience, guys.
4:34
A sense of purpose helps you endure pressure
4:37
without breaking, and that's important, guys.
4:41
Next point three, clear goals guide effort.
4:45
Yes, clear goals guide effort.
4:48
I think that's one a lot of people
4:51
don't realize, is that clear goals guide effort.
4:57
Goals act as a compass for where to
5:01
direct energy each day.
5:04
Purpose strengthens commitment, and when the why is
5:07
clear, the how becomes easier.
5:09
I often say to people, if you're not
5:11
getting what you want, it's because your why
5:13
is not loud enough.
5:14
That doesn't mean you're not shouting it or
5:16
yelling it out.
5:17
Has nothing to do with that.
5:18
It has to do with your intentional ability,
5:21
your energy toward it, and how much does
5:24
it make you want to do that, your
5:28
drive?
5:29
Because when the why is clear, the how
5:32
just naturally becomes easier.
5:35
Focus, guys, drives results.
5:38
Concentrated attention produces measurable outcomes faster.
5:42
Intentional living creates impact, and conscious decisions ripple
5:47
outward, affecting work, relationships, and your entire life.
5:52
Purpose, ladies and gentlemen, strengthens discipline.
5:55
Motivation from meaning helps maintain habits, even when
6:00
willpower kind of wanes away.
6:03
Clear vision drives action.
6:05
A defined direction reduces hesitation and confusion.
6:12
Intentional effort, guys, builds momentum.
6:16
Consistency compounds, turning small actions into large wins.
6:23
People say to me, John, you know, I
6:25
can't get anywhere with this small thing, but
6:29
it's the small thing, the small idea that
6:31
actually compounds into something bigger.
6:34
Meaningful things are key.
6:37
Meaning comes from fuel of dedication.
6:41
When your actions matter, commitment deepens naturally, almost
6:47
like the air we breathe.
6:48
Purpose, guys, strengthens leadership, and leaders who act
6:52
with intentionality, inspire trust, and follow through every
6:56
single time.
6:57
Focus improves productivity, eliminating distractions, and this allows
7:01
deep work and creative problem solving.
7:05
Intentional choices build progress.
7:07
Every decision aligned with your goals accelerates your
7:10
growth.
7:12
A lot of people have trouble with that
7:14
one.
7:15
They don't realize that your growth happens because
7:18
of steps you take.
7:21
Purpose, guys, fuels determination.
7:25
A strong why helps you persist when circumstances
7:29
get tough, and they're going to get tough.
7:33
But that's not why you want to stop
7:35
or ever quit.
7:38
In my book, I'm going to give you
7:40
a little bit of a preamble here.
7:43
There's something that happened to me many years
7:45
ago, and what happened to me, most people
7:50
would be like, oh, I'm going to pack
7:52
it in.
7:53
But I didn't.
7:54
I'm not going to tell you what that
7:54
was, but I'm going to tell you how
7:56
that one thing that happened to me started
7:59
to change my entire trajectory.
8:00
Now, I didn't know it was doing this
8:02
at the time.
8:04
But I gradually understood this several years ago,
8:07
and I said, wait a minute.
8:08
I should write a book about this.
8:10
Clear priorities guide success.
8:13
Knowing what comes first ensures the most important
8:16
work is done first.
8:20
Intentional effort, guys, strengthens growth.
8:25
Repeated focused action leads to skill, mastery, and
8:31
confidence.
8:33
It's like we get this shot of dopamine,
8:35
which is a natural high for us.
8:37
And we like the way it feels, so
8:39
we want to do more and more of
8:41
it.
8:41
I think that's the important thing.
8:42
So meaning inspires persistence.
8:44
Passion for results keeps momentum alive over time,
8:49
because sometimes things will wane.
8:54
So we have to make sure the pump
8:56
stays primed.
8:57
That is key, guys.
9:00
Purpose strengthens resilience.
9:03
Obstacles feel smaller when they are aligned with
9:07
your mission.
9:09
Your mission, your core values, not someone else's.
9:14
Focus, ladies and gentlemen, drives achievement.
9:19
Your focus, where are you?
9:21
You focused right now?
9:23
Uninterrupted attention yields results.
9:27
Far beyond multitasking.
9:29
So many CEOs I know want people to
9:31
do 5 million things.
9:33
Not 5 million, but you know what I'm
9:34
saying.
9:34
They want you to chat here, chat here,
9:36
chat there, chat everywhere, answer phone calls, talk
9:39
to people in the office, accept packages.
9:42
That's unrealistic.
9:43
Can you do it?
9:43
Yes, but something is going to suffer.
9:48
Maybe you're going to get the wrong package
9:51
or send the wrong thing out or put
9:53
the wrong thing in the wrong envelope.
9:55
Right?
9:57
Or perhaps you're going to give the wrong
10:00
thing to the wrong person that shows up
10:02
for customer service if you're in that area.
10:05
Intentional action builds success.
10:10
Intentional.
10:11
Intentional comes from our core values.
10:15
Deliberate planning plus follow-through creates predictable outcomes.
10:21
Hmm.
10:26
That's one I think sometimes that we don't
10:28
pay attention to, but I think it's key
10:30
to know.
10:31
Purpose fuels momentum, and motivation translates into continuous
10:36
forward motion.
10:42
Continuous forward motion.
10:43
Not backward, not stagnant, not staying still.
10:47
Clear direction improves effort.
10:49
Knowing exactly where you're headed allows smarter work,
10:53
not just harder work.
10:56
Intentional living builds strength.
10:59
Mindful choices strengthen willpower.
11:01
Confidence and emotional balance, well, that's key, guys.
11:04
Meaning strengthens purpose.
11:08
Understanding your why reinforces the reason for your
11:12
daily actions.
11:14
Your why, ladies and gentlemen, comes from your
11:17
core values.
11:18
Now, your core values could come from your
11:20
upbringing, could come from your own experiences, and
11:24
you could change your core values.
11:26
It's perfectly fine.
11:27
Sometimes people do.
11:29
And when your core values change, mine changed,
11:31
as you'll learn in the book, my life
11:35
changed.
11:37
Because I didn't let some program that was
11:40
stuck in there by people I knew, cared
11:43
about, people that loved me, or even people
11:46
that were trying to teach me.
11:49
I realized I had to change some of
11:51
those programs.
11:52
That's important, guys.
11:56
Focus builds results.
11:59
Yeah, focus builds results.
12:01
When you're not focused, you go off track.
12:09
Eliminating distractions maximizes the effort of each effort.
12:14
I had a French teacher one time, and
12:16
she used to always say in the class,
12:18
because we would have class and we'd ask
12:20
her a question, lots of times we'd ask
12:21
these questions, and we would get her talking
12:25
about something, like when she went to France,
12:28
or some other interesting thing, and it would,
12:31
let's say, circumvent the whole lesson for that
12:34
day.
12:34
I remember one day, she told us about
12:37
some food that she had tried in France.
12:40
We were like, oh, really?
12:41
Where was that?
12:41
And she was talking about a pastry chef.
12:43
Oh, wow.
12:44
And she went on for 45 minutes, and
12:47
we were so into the lesson.
12:49
And then the bell rang.
12:51
It's like, oh, well, I guess we'll have
12:53
to pick that up tomorrow.
12:55
So we picked it up tomorrow, and then
12:57
another week, we did it again.
13:00
Well, she started to get wise.
13:01
She's like, stop trying to take me off
13:03
on tangents.
13:03
We're not talking about France.
13:05
We're not talking about food.
13:06
We're not talking about pastries.
13:07
We're going to talk about conjugations.
13:12
Somebody else asked the question.
13:14
So, madame such and such, so where did
13:17
you first learn conjugations?
13:20
Because you were from France.
13:21
How was it like learning?
13:23
What was it like when you grew up?
13:24
And guess what?
13:26
We got her on another tangent again.
13:30
And we could get her on a tangent
13:32
at least once a month.
13:34
So we were good for not having class,
13:36
which was about an hour, hour and 40
13:38
minutes.
13:38
So a good 20 minutes into the class,
13:40
we would try to figure out something.
13:42
And then the rest of that 45 minutes
13:44
of the class went off on a tangent.
13:46
We were just listening all about France and
13:48
all these things.
13:49
And there's also no homework because we couldn't
13:51
get to anything.
13:52
Live, guys, with intention.
13:55
Every day is an opportunity to act consciously.
13:59
Aligning effort with your vision and your values
14:02
is key, guys.
14:04
It is key.
14:05
It's not something you should just do today
14:07
or do tomorrow because, well, you feel like
14:10
it.
14:11
Intention is something you should do every day.
14:15
You know, when you have a habit, and
14:17
you make a good habit, and it keeps
14:19
working, it keeps working, and it keeps working,
14:24
you've got to realize one thing.
14:27
And that one thing is this, that your
14:31
mind loves to solve challenges.
14:36
Another thing I learned a few years ago
14:38
is that if you put a problem in
14:39
your head or a challenge in your head
14:40
before you go to sleep, when you wake
14:43
up in the morning, there's a good 95
14:46
% or more that that problem is going
14:48
to be solved.
14:51
That's cool.
14:52
So your brain is always thinking, even when
14:56
you're sleeping.
14:58
In fact, the last thought that you have
15:02
on your mind before you drift off, we
15:04
call this something.
15:07
This is a technique.
15:10
It's been around for a while.
15:12
Different people have given it names and whatnot,
15:14
but this technique is something that, when you
15:18
mention something, you're like, well, what does this
15:20
do or how does this work?
15:22
And I'm going to explain it to you
15:24
real briefly without getting too deep into it.
15:27
And so you think about the idea, and
15:31
then you basically fall asleep.
15:36
You fall asleep.
15:39
And so that's pretty cool, guys.
15:43
You fall asleep, but you fall asleep with
15:45
that idea in your head.
15:49
That idea in your head.
15:53
And it's called Satz technique.
15:56
I'm not sure if any of you remember
15:57
the Satz technique.
15:59
So stay akin to sleep is where it
16:02
comes to.
16:03
So basically how it works is this.
16:12
You remove the noise that would stop you
16:15
from acting.
16:16
You get grounded.
16:18
That's how it works.
16:20
So how does the state akin to sleep
16:23
really work?
16:24
Because obviously, John, I don't get this.
16:26
It sounds like something in the sky, but
16:28
it's really not something in the sky.
16:33
You can disengage by being calm.
16:36
A lot of you hear state akin to
16:37
sleep.
16:38
They're like, well, how does that work?
16:39
What's the right way to do it?
16:41
And so Neville Goddard was a very big
16:43
proponent of teaching this technique.
16:49
When it feels like it's not working, it's
16:50
working.
16:51
So Neville was very clear about this, even
16:53
though people skip it.
16:55
Satz fails when the mind is straining instead
16:58
of yielding.
17:01
Maybe you're trying to monitor results.
17:03
Don't.
17:05
Visualize to get something.
17:07
Neville didn't teach that.
17:10
He taught enter the feeling of the wish
17:12
fulfilled and let sleep take you.
17:16
That means no convincing, no repetition marathon, no
17:19
hype, no effort.
17:20
Just think about it and just let it
17:23
take you in.
17:25
Now, this may sting a bit.
17:28
Stop manifesting billions, but think in this way.
17:32
Think of it like this.
17:33
Think of it that a loving truth.
17:37
Your subconscious does not respond well to abstract
17:40
magnitudes.
17:41
Billions is conceptual.
17:44
Your subconscious lives in sensory normalcy.
17:47
That's where it basically lives.
17:51
And so Neville always used these mundane confirmation
17:54
scenes like I am wealthy, I have billions.
17:58
That's a very bad Satz scene.
18:01
An effective one would be checking an account
18:03
casually and noticing the balance racing.
18:07
Signing something routine.
18:09
Someone close saying one normal sentence.
18:13
Feeling relief.
18:16
So the way Satz works is Satz is
18:18
about you feeling drowsy.
18:22
Images can be faint, not vivid.
18:25
You almost don't care about them.
18:28
Your body feels heavy.
18:29
You could fall asleep at any moment.
18:32
If you're alert, focused or working, you're too
18:36
awake.
18:38
Neville's correct hypnosis structure is this.
18:41
Instead of a long recording, try to three
18:44
to five minute max and do not start
18:46
with money.
18:46
Start with safety and identity.
18:49
Everything is handed now.
18:51
I don't need to fix anything.
18:53
Life is moving in my favor.
18:55
An ordinary scene.
18:57
Pick one tiny implication of abundance.
18:59
A calm smile.
19:00
A relief in your chest.
19:02
An ease in your breathing.
19:03
A quiet thought.
19:04
It is done.
19:06
That's my favorite one.
19:09
Do not loop it.
19:10
Don't do repeat affirmations.
19:13
Let it blur and just fall asleep mid
19:15
feeling.
19:17
Health and money together can jam sats.
19:22
So another truth Neville taught us quietly is
19:24
too many desires dilute the state.
19:27
For now, one recording for health, one for
19:29
financial, never bundle them.
19:32
Or if you're doing it at night, never
19:34
combine the thoughts.
19:35
The most important Neville Goddard line for you
19:37
is the feeling which comes in response to
19:40
the acceptance of the wish fulfilled is the
19:43
seed.
19:44
And so the thing that's very interesting about
19:46
this is it goes down to talking about
19:50
something that we already have within us.
19:52
And I think that's a very cool thing
19:56
to note that this is already a thought
19:58
within our mind.
20:00
And because the thought within our mind, it
20:02
just happens.
20:04
So tonight's reset, you can do this one
20:06
time.
20:06
Before bed, just say internally, I release the
20:09
need to make this work.
20:11
Then don't try to manifest.
20:12
Just rest in being okay.
20:15
And this is when sats starts working.
20:18
If you want, you can rewrite things down.
20:22
You can take some notions, but don't put
20:25
a lot of effort into it.
20:27
Don't start with a script.
20:29
Okay?
20:30
So the thing you do is you prepare
20:31
the body two minutes before you go to
20:33
sleep.
20:34
If you're not already sleeping, bring attention to
20:37
your jaw, tongue, shoulders, breath, and parts of
20:39
your body.
20:40
And you can say something like, I'm safe,
20:43
nothing needs fixing right now.
20:45
If your body softens, you're in the doorway
20:47
of it.
20:49
Enter the not trying zone.
20:51
This is crucial.
20:51
Do not visualize anything yet.
20:54
Instead, let your mind just drift the way
20:55
it does right before sleep.
20:57
Random thoughts are fine.
20:58
Images can come and they can go.
21:00
You're not directing anything right now.
21:03
You're not trying to make anything happen.
21:06
When your feet feel heavy, slightly floaty, indifferent,
21:10
well, you're starting to enter that state akin
21:12
to sleep.
21:14
Use one sensory anchor.
21:16
Not a movie.
21:17
Never warned against long scenes.
21:19
Choose one tiny implication.
21:22
The weight of a phone in your hand.
21:24
The subtle exhale of relief.
21:26
The quiet inner thought, that worked out.
21:29
The feeling of bills being irrelevant.
21:32
Don't add details.
21:34
Let it just happen to you.
21:36
You're not imagining.
21:38
You are remembering.
21:40
That's the key.
21:42
You're remembering that this already happened in your
21:44
life and that's how you feel the feeling
21:46
of the wish fulfilled.
21:48
And it's wild.
21:49
So your subconscious understands ease, security, freedom, authority,
21:54
and normalcy.
21:54
It does not understand big figures, pressure, and
21:58
urgency.
21:59
Again, let me explain that to you.
22:00
It understands things like ease, security, freedom, authority,
22:05
normalcy, but not big figures, not pressure, not
22:08
urgency.
22:09
The one question to ask before sleep is
22:12
how would I be breathing right now if
22:14
this were settled?
22:18
Keep you mentally active, trigger performance, and invite
22:21
doubt.
22:22
That's some of the scripts that people would
22:24
use.
22:25
This method is different.
22:27
Bypass the effort.
22:28
Engage the subconscious.
22:29
Mirror the moment right before natural sleep.
22:33
Okay?
22:35
And you can say something as simple as
22:39
this is a really good one.
22:42
Before you go to sleep, just read something
22:44
like I remember when I used to worry
22:47
about money.
22:49
That was a long time ago.
22:52
I'm grateful.
22:54
And just float off to sleep.
22:58
I know that sounds weird, but it works.
23:02
And Neville taught his one technique to a
23:06
group of churchgoers in the back of a
23:08
church.
23:08
And he said about climbing a ladder, and
23:10
he told people not to climb a ladder.
23:12
Don't climb a ladder.
23:13
And what he said to do is when
23:15
you go home, you can write anywhere, I
23:17
will not climb a ladder, I will not
23:19
climb a ladder, I will not climb a
23:20
ladder.
23:20
Fine.
23:22
When you go to sleep, just before you're
23:24
going to sleep, picture yourself climbing a ladder,
23:29
feeling the climbing of a ladder.
23:30
But all day long, you're not going to
23:32
climb a ladder, you're not going to climb
23:33
a ladder, not going to climb a ladder,
23:34
not going to climb a ladder.
23:36
And something's going to trip where you're just
23:42
subconsciously going to start climbing a ladder, and
23:45
it's going to break that pattern.
23:48
And what Neville Goddard said is that don't
23:51
come back for the next lesson until you've
23:53
climbed a ladder.
23:54
People were confused.
23:58
So the next few days later, several people
24:02
showed up.
24:03
A few people didn't.
24:04
Later that week, the rest of the people
24:06
showed up.
24:06
So it really works.
24:09
I like this idea that we don't put
24:12
effort into it, it just happens.
24:15
I guess when we live intentionally and we
24:20
don't put a lot of effort into it,
24:22
it feels very meaningful, like it's our calling.
24:28
I like that.
24:29
I like that feeling.
24:30
I like that thought.
24:32
I think the more that we can just
24:34
let go with an idea and fall asleep,
24:40
our brain solves problems and challenges while we're
24:44
sleeping.
24:46
A lot of people that try to stay
24:48
akin to sleep fail because, oh my gosh,
24:51
I've got to think about this, I've got
24:52
to think about this, I've got to think
24:53
about this.
24:53
And then they get their brain all wired
24:56
a million different ways and they're going to
24:58
sleep and they're stressed and they check their
25:01
bank account and it didn't work.
25:03
Of course it's not going to work.
25:05
Because you're expecting results, guys.
25:08
That's the whole thing.
25:09
You're expecting results.
25:11
And when you expect results, well, that's a
25:14
problem so soon.
25:16
That's a problem.
25:20
So it's all about living the feeling of
25:22
the wish fulfilled.
25:27
You might say, John, I never had that
25:28
feeling.
25:30
Well, imagine what it was like when you
25:34
had it.
25:35
You might say it never happened.
25:37
Imagine what it was like when you were
25:38
driving.
25:39
And by you doing that, you're tricking your
25:42
subconscious, but your mind's like, oh, wait a
25:45
minute, I guess we did do that.
25:47
And then your body's going to just kind
25:50
of go into that right mode.
25:52
And that's thoughts, actions, body movements.
25:58
You will naturally come into alignment for which
26:02
you're trying to move into.
26:05
But I found that when you try to
26:07
push yourself into that place, you don't go
26:11
there.
26:13
No matter how hard you try, you don't
26:14
go there.
26:15
If you just let it fall, you go
26:19
there.
26:21
That's wild, right?
26:23
So when we are at ease, and this
26:26
was taught by another great person a while
26:28
back, when a body is in disease, it
26:32
is not at ease.
26:35
So when our body is at ease, our
26:37
body works very well from everything from digestion
26:43
to brain power to anything you could think
26:48
of.
26:50
I think that's the wild thing.
26:52
And so as we end this week, we
26:55
talked about seeing clearly.
26:58
And I think when we talk about seeing
27:00
clearly, a lot of times we miss seeing
27:04
clearly because we think it's just what we
27:06
see at our eyes, but it's actually our
27:08
perceptions in our mind, and it's how we
27:10
relate to our inner world and our outer
27:12
world.
27:13
And the more that we can learn to
27:16
let go of the inner and outer world,
27:19
the more that we can connect them together
27:21
almost like magic.
27:24
