Why You Should Set Impossible GoalsI recently attended a conference where I enjoyed a presentation by Psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Honestly, I’ve been a fan of his work for a couple of years and am familiar with most of his working concepts. This time… one stood out.In my day-to-day work, it’s not uncommon for clients to struggle with narrowing a goal to one with enough meaning to propel them into action.In most cases, it’s a struggle between the important and the impossible.A goal must be important enough to excite you, but that can also make it seem impossible and scare you. But that’s what you want and need.According to Dr. Hardy, when you limit your goals to only the most important and almost impossible from where you are today, you are forced to use a very tight filter to figure out how to make it happen. In other words, taking random action will not help you reach an impossible goal. Only a highly filtered, very disciplined, and nearly surgical approach will make it happen. If you are doing anything else, your goal isn’t big enough.Instead of go big or go home, go big and figure it out is the way to success. Learn more about your ad choices.

How Purpose and Passion Make a Better LifeFrom the time I was very young, I've been drawn to living a passionate life - no matter what gets in the way. I've also had a solid purpose to impact people's lives while living a passionate life positively. Something can be challenging to archive 100% of the time. But isn't that the point of Passion and Purpose? Isn't it something that you just DO?Amazingly, for all the focus on living a purposeful and passion-filled life, there has been very little research. A solid definition has only been agreed upon in the last few years - and it says a lot. I'll let it speak for itself.Passion is defined as a strong inclination toward an activity that people like, find important, and in which they invest time and energy. Purpose is defined as a stable and generalized intention to accomplish something personally meaningful and, at the same time, leads to productive engagement with some aspect of the world beyond the self.As I've always said, "If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose."And the best way to do that is to follow your passion.

Unleash Your Potential with AnticipationI love how kids live in the moment while also getting excited about the next fun thing coming. Maybe it’s time we all begin acting like kids again.Since you were young, special events excited you enough that sheer anticipation would drive you all day and keep you up at night. Would you like that back in your life? The trick to harness the power of anticipation is to keep a steady stream of exciting moments in your future. I call this the Anticipation Engine. There are two things to keep in mind:1) Your energy is dependent on getting excited about your future. Keep your list long.2) Once an event passes, your excitement will disappear.Enjoy the current moment. Don’t rush ahead, but always have something fun coming next.Living a life of anticipation always gives a natural energy boost. If your life is bland - schedule something fun and get excited again.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Invisibility to Prominence By Tooting Your Own HornWhen I was a teenager, I was a weekend moviegoer. It was the age of Rocky and Star Wars, after all. While the experience was fun, something has stuck with me.The movie theatre always ran a commercial during the previews before the film. They wanted local business owners to buy an ad before every show. It went -"What happens when you don't advertise? NOTHING!"Yes, that's a great lesson for business owners. But what about YOU?If you want something more in your life, you need to toot your own horn so others can help you get it. That's how you manufacture endless opportunities in your life.

You Should be Unapologetically UnreasonableAre you a reasonable person? Maybe it is time for you to change.A reasonable person settles for the mundane and says, "It IS what it IS!"  An unreasonable person says, "That's fine, but I don't like it that way, and I don't accept it!" They change people's perception of what is. They create a different reality. They don't accept the norms. Someone once told an off-color joke at a dinner party being held by Maya Angelou.She stopped the party and said, "I don't have that in my house. You will have to leave. Even after an apology, she stood her ground."That's fine, that's for another time, but for today, you have to leave." Some people are so afraid to offend that they are willing to be reasonable. Be UNREASONABLE about your beliefs. Take a stand and become known for it! The world wants you to be reasonable and fit in. Don't do it. Be unreasonable! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
