The Big Takeaway: Today I go over a few ways to stay completely committed.

Do you really know who you are? It's hard to know what your potential is when you don't know who you are.

And you can't commit to achieving your goal until you commit to knowing who you really are.

Have you taken the time to sit back and figure it out? Did you have help on that path?

That's the challenge I pose to you today. After you finish listening to the podcast, come over to The Facebook group and share with us if you truly know yourself or are you still working on it? Let's talk >> edgy.es/fbgroup

In the summer of 480 B.C., Xerxes and his Persian army descended on the plains of Greece with a force that shook the world.  Ancient sources claim the army to number in the millions.  And their ferocity was undeniable.  They would not be denied.

And yet a single man dared question that greatness.

The Big Takeaway: Commitment is determined, often, by external circumstances. And commitment has its limits.

If you're not committed in one area of your life, chances are you're probably not committed in other areas of your life.

There are a few truths about commitment. You can't make someone be committed. Nobody can force you to be committed. Your commitment is defined by you and you alone.

Every decision you make and every commitment you make is completely in your control.

What things have you committed to and gone back on? What commitments have you followed through to the end?

Join us in The EDGY Facebook group as we discuss commitment for the whole month of February. And if you haven't gotten the February Calendar, grab it here >> calendarofawesomeness.com

The Big Takeaway: Sometimes commitment takes eye opening circumstances to show us how committed we really are.

For the month of February, I will be focusing all/most of the podcasts on staying completely committed.

Commitment is something we aren't completely convinced we understand. Sometimes lack of commitment means lack of focus. Lack of time.

But the most beautiful moments in life come from commitment.

The real question is simple.

Are you committed or are you not?

When was the last time you saw someone who was completely committed?

Last month, I talked with Jim Fortin in a series of interviews for my podcast. Join me here where you will get the full Jim Fortin experience.

In this podcast, Jim and I talk about his Sales Psychology academy, the science of energy and physical reality (and how it bends to your subconscious), and even about physics and Cosmic Law.

And then we get into some real talk about habits and how to dismiss the bad ones (which kind of blew my mind).

So enjoy this full-length interview with my friend, Jim Fortin, and then come on over to the EDGY Facebook group and let me know your thoughts on what you heard >> edgy.es/fbgroup

Michael was born in one of the poorest parts of Memphis, Tennessee.  One of thirteen children.  His mother Denise was a crack cocaine addict and alcoholic.  His father, Michael Sr., spent more time in jail than as a free man.  That left Michael to fend for himself.

The Big Takeaway: Sometimes when you are doing what you are meant to do, things just work out.

Today, I talk about the rewards of purpose and some of the topics that we covered over the month of January about purpose- the myths, the ways to find it, how you know when you've found it-- and why it's important to be purposeful in everything you do.

And as I've found out over time, sometimes you have to do a bunch of "stuff" and sometimes you just have to do nothing. You just have to be quiet.

How did you enjoy our talks about purpose this month? Did you find them helpful?

In July of 2007, Grant Achatz shocked the culinary world with the news that he had just been diagnosed with stage four cancer in his mouth.  More specifically, his tongue.

With his severely advanced stage of carcinoma, doctors told him that the only way to stay alive was to remove almost all of his tongue.  But that wasn't something that Grant was willing to accept.

You see, all that Grant had ever dreamed about was being was a chef.

The Big Takeaway: There are things that only you can do.

Think about it.

Nobody can do exactly what you can do, because there is only one you.

Today I talk about what in the world would we (the world) do without you, because only you can do your purpose.

And there are things that we are all commissioned to do.

The Big Takeaway: Jealousy is a natural defense mechanism, but it will crush your purpose if you are not careful.

We all have things that are "sore" spots for us and we have a tendency to be either secretly or overtly jealous of people who can do the things we want to be able to do. No matter what that thing is.

I'm no different.

I'm jealous of lots of different people for a lot of different reasons. I recently had an epiphany that when someone does something with ease that we wish we could do, being jealous can destroy the good things we could be having or could be doing.

After you listen to this podcast, I'd love to hear your take on this topic. What do you do when you feel that ugly green monster creeping over your shoulder? Come over to The EDGY Facebook group and share your thoughts >> edgy.es/fbgroup
