Stop Waiting to Get What You WantI was sitting at the dining room table of a friend. We had been solving the problems of the world in an hours-long conversation when she asked,“What are you talking about on tomorrow's podcast?"When I told her that I hadn't thought about it yet, she said, "Why don't you talk about why people don't take big chances and stay in their comfort zone for their entire life?"My mind did an instant review of my life and all the areas I had stumbled before I got out of my own way. I also remembered conversations with clients over the years on the topic of life's leaps. Before I could say anything, she said, "I know what it is. People get so comfortable with what they've built, and they don't want to chance losing it. Their money, their home, they wonder what their family will say?"Is there anything else?"Yes. Everybody gets scared and freezes. I'm like that, but I've learned to push through fear and go for it - as long as I'm mostly sure I won't lose what I've built."We talked a bit more about what it takes to make the changes you want in life and came to three conclusions-When you have a growth mindset and believe that anything is possible, you can do anything. Holding on too tightly to what you have sends the wrong energetic message. When you are willing to expand - you will.Next, as a human, you will never be comfortable gambling on the very thing that allows you to dream. The solid foundation that takes care of your personal needs is the very reason you desire to self-activate. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs taught us that. Your foundation must remain while you expand.Finally, fear will always be present when beginning a new adventure. The cure is knowledge. When you know what you have, see your path forward, and have prepared as much as possible for your journey, you will find yourself willing to go for it.Anything is possible when you protect your foundation, respect the challenge, and honor the dreams that are whispering to your soul.

Are Good Intentions Enough?Do you get out of bed every day, plant your feet on the ground, and start getting things done? Do you do it with intention?If you take a minute, you’ll notice the happiest, most successful, and content people live a life of intention. But having an intention is not a magical force reserved for the special few. It implies little more than what you plan to bring about in your life - something I was about to do.In the months after meeting my future wife, I realized an intention was emerging in my mind. With every passing day, that intention transformed into a goal. Soon, I had a plan along with a timeline. I became obsessed and was on a mission to succeed. I had, as they say, “Good intentions.” But more than good intentions is needed to get what you want. In my case, I knew where I was heading; Joi was only beginning to understand what was on my mind. That’s when she asked -“So, Mr. Smith. What are your intentions, exactly?”Without missing a beat, I said -“My intentions are simple. I will do everything possible to get you to fall in love, marry me, and spend the rest of our lives together.”Her jaw dropped. She smiled, took a sip of wine, and said -“Well, we’ll keep going and see what happens.”What? We’ll see how things go! I already know where this is going. Why do we need to wait? I know my intention, and I’m to get it!Of course, I didn’t say any of that to her. Yes, getting what you want in life requires knowing your intentions. The next step is to transform them into goals and actions. But you and your dreams are not living on an isolated island. If others are involved, you must let them know what you have on your mind.But, because you said your intention, does that mean you will get what you want? No. It means that you now have a partner in your quest. Your intentions are about to merge, and if all goes well, your actions will create success for everybody. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Remove Your Fear of ChangeI woke up this morning with the realization that a life-changing event was looming in my future. I needed to wrap my head around the mindset adjustments I would need to make before changing my mind and running the other way.All of us have made decisions that, if we did, would change our world overnight. Are you heading off to school for the first time? Are you getting married after being single forever? Could it be accepting a new job in a strange town? It doesn't matter how excited you are. It doesn't matter how well you have justified your upcoming change. It doesn't matter how adventurous your spirit is. Life-changing decisions can feel like you’re launching on a mission to mars without your space suit. But there's one thing I know for sure -Life is all about getting from where you are today to where you will be tomorrow. It's the transformation from what you have to what you could have that excites growth in our lives. So, what is that uncomfortable feeling that you have in your gut?Every one of us views ourselves as who we are on the inside—our identity. Since life is real and the future is not realized, feeling apprehensive is a natural response. What you need is a "Transitional Identity" to get you from today to tomorrow."I've always been a hometown person, and now I'm learning to become a citizen of the world.""I've always been single, but I'm becoming the best relationship person I can be. My future spouse deserves that.""I've never climbed this high on the corporate ladder; now I'm becoming the leader everybody deserves."Transitional Identities are a simple way to ease the fear of the unknown—even if it's self-inflicted.As your future becomes more accurate, your Transitional Identity will transition you into a new life, and you will become a new you.
