He dives into how the distraction of politics or other noise can deter people from fulfilling their unique purpose.Main Takeaways:Prioritizing Self-Design over Distractions: Courson emphasizes that one’s “most valuable resources—time, energy, attention, and money—should reflect personal values, not distractions like politics or screen time.”Effective Boundaries for True Success: Whether it's setting social media limits or avoiding "good distractions" (even well-intentioned projects), Courson explains that focusing on what genuinely aligns with your calling brings growth and fulfillment.Clarity in Goals through Essential Questions: Courson’s three guiding questions—What do you want?

Heroes don’t emerge by chance but by commitment to a vision and readiness to sacrifice."Priorities aren't the things we say; they're the things we do." Courson drives home that it’s not about making time for what’s easy but committing to what’s worthwhile, even if it means saying no to less aligned opportunities.This episode will leave listeners inspired to reevaluate their own paths, make intentional sacrifices, and approach their goals with conviction and clarity.Subscribe to stay connected with more transformational content, engage in the comments with your thoughts, and check out links below to join my retreats, access coaching programs, and download free resources like “A Guide to Identifying and Challenging Negative Thoughts.” https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/Take the next step toward unlocking your potential.Connect with Stephen - https://x.com/StephenCourson-------Let's connect!LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalespro Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/theryanjamesmillerTwitter – https://twitter.com/theryanjamesmil
