When it comes to goal achievement and success there is always a price to pay.
Did you become a better reader or student? Did you learn a new skill or vocation? Did you become more fit?
The price of success is one that is always paid in advance!
The price you must be willing to pay is the development of new habits. The price you must be willing to pay is your personal transformation. If the person you are today was sufficient you would already have achieved the goal you seek.
Once you have clarity on what you want. Now it's time to identify the habits you must develop that support and align with the goals and ideals you want to achieve and begin developing them.
That is the price you will pay. And, yes, the payment is due every day. It often means sacrificing personal time, entertainment time for "investment" time.
Everything has its price, including the attainment of your goals and ideals.
Enjoy the episode!

Last week's episode was, "What do you want?" This week, the question is "How hungry are you?"
Hunger is an interesting concept because taken in its most literal sense, there are few driving forces quite as primal.
Hunger gets people to take action and immediately. Hunger is very binary. You either eat or you die. Thus, non-action isn't an option. You take action toward your goal of getting food.
Goal achievement at is most elementary level is binary as well. Are you really hungry enough to achieve your goal? You either truly want the goal or you don't?
The challenge, the great impediment to our progress, is often comfort. Our behaviors are driven largely by two great forces; pain and pleasure. When we're comfortable, well feed, (not hungry) we're less likely to move into the pain of goal pursuit.
Consider a super-star athlete like Michael Jordan. What was Jordan famous for? It was his competitive drive often fueled by his constant practice of fabricating an edge to keep him hungry!
Enjoy the episode!

So, what do you want?
Last week it was about WHY we should be challenging ourselves. This week it's about knowing/understanding what you want?
Consider an all-you-can-eat buffet. You could eat any of the amazing food choices and as much you want, the problem is, you couldn't possibly eat everything. You must choose. You must select what it is you desire from a myriad of choices.
Brian Tracy loves to say, "You'll never have enough time to do everything you want to do in life, but you'll always have enough time to do the most important things."
Thus, determining what you really want is essential.
If success can be defined as "creating your ideal future." The only way any of us can realize our ideal future is to first know what it is we're going after.
Therefore, beginning with the end in mind—clarity— knowing what it is your really want is the crucial first step.
Enjoy the episode!

WHY challenge yourself? Why get involved in personal development? Why read 'self-help' books? Why try to improve? Why run a marathon or try to write a book?
Only you can know your personal motive.
Understanding what drives your behavior helps you produce personal power— self-efficacy— the ability to create a desired result. Knowing your motives is a prerequisite to prove to yourself that you can control and improve yourself!
Your motive, your why, reinforces self-efficacy which builds momentum. Your WHY gives you courage and confidence to push yourself further and go after bigger challenges. Your why makes you bigger than your problems.
This is WHY.
Enjoy the episode!

This week's theme layers nicely on top of last week's MBM, The Bucket List.
Obligation: An act of being morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment. A debt of gratitude.
While philosophers through the ages have struggled with this question, MG asks the listeners to consider the same theme. "Do you think you have any obligations with the life you've been gifted?"
MG runs through a list of considerations: Do you have the obligation to care for yourself and others? Do you have the obligation to have the best health possible? Do you have the obligation to be kind — to treat others as you wish to be treated? (The Golden Rule).
Do you have the obligation to find a purpose in life? Do you have an obligation to love? Do you have the obligation to be of service? Do you have the obligation to be happy? Do you have the obligation to challenge yourself? Do you have the obligation to learn, grow and set goals? Do you have the obligation to refine your thinking and your character?
The feeling of obligation drives action! And, if you were to have no obligations would life lose its meaning?
Enjoy the episode!
