With the New Year upon us, how do we make it count? Hal Elrod and Jon Berghoff touch base with Christopher for today’s episode. Together, they discuss ways to make 2019 our best year ever.

“How do I create an identity for myself that I just want to keep living into? I guess I would call that an ‘accountability’ to my image of myself.” -  Jon Berghoff

A Shift in Priorities and Values

Hal has been working on two new books. The Miracle Equation comes out in April. Miracle Morning for Couples: How to Make Your Relationship Legendary One Morning at a Time is to be released on Valentine’s Day.

On top of his writing, he’s been busy being the best dad and husband, spending every possible moment with his kids and helping his wife take care of them. This showed especially when he completely forgot about a book deadline in favor of spending time with his kids and a friend’s.

“That's a fundamental, radical subconscious shift in my priorities and in my values… While I'm still navigating the balance, it's positive.” - Hal Elrod

The Miracle Equation

Hal has worked on The Miracle Equation long before The Miracle Morning. He has used the equation to teach people and help them exceed everything they have done before.

Two fundamental decisions make up the equation: unwavering faith and extraordinary effort. Any high achiever who has contributed anything extraordinary to this world and achieved something extraordinary in their lives make these two fundamental decisions. They maintain them to achieve those results.

Achieving Inevitable Success

One must establish unwavering faith that you can do something you’ve never done before. This is counterintuitive and defies our human nature. We tend to stick to things we’re familiar with, but it’s important that we go out.

Extraordinary effort must be put forth until results are achieved. It may take a while, even with the two decisions in play, but it’s just like everything.

“When you live your life where you approach your every day, every goal, every dream with unwavering faith and extraordinary effort, your success is inevitable. It's only a matter of time.” - Hal Elrod
