Takeaways From This Episode
  • It’s sad to win at work and not win at life.
  • Imagine your funeral as a scene in a movie. When family and friends stand to speak, what are they saying?
  • Whatever it is, busyness often forces us to take Plan-B. And a Plan-B routine typically ends as a Plan-B life.
  • Too often we leave these gaping undefined holes in the most important areas of our lives.
  • Unless we have a destination in mind, it’s tough to separate the opportunities from the distractions.
  • Discipline is doing things we don’t necessarily like to achieve something we love.
  • No one wakes up and says, “Today I want to DRIFT.” However, if you’re not living a life according to design, then you’re living a life according to DRIFT.
  • Without a Life Plan, you most likely end up far from where you hoped to be, regretting the decisions or inaction that shape your life.
  • People lose their way when they lose their why.
  • If you’re interested in picking up Micheal’s new book Living Forward, you can pick up a copy here. You can also follow Michael on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
