Listen Later

Setting goals is essential for growth, but we must clearly understand our values, priorities, and direction in life before we can set them. We will discuss why finding clarity is necessary to accomplish our goals and why making time for ourselves is essential.

By the end of this episode, you will better understand why finding clarity is essential for achieving your goals and have practical tips on gaining it. We discuss how we can be as intentional as possible toward our goals and experience the life we desire. Join us for this episode as we ignite your journey toward finding clarity and achieving your goals. 

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

  • Reconciling where we are and where we want to be
  • Chase the dream
  • Maintain meaningful connections
  • Have a vision

Episode Highlights:

[3:01] Reconciling Where We Are And Where We Want To Be

We want to be clear with our goals. The first step in doing this is reconciling where we are and where we're going. New goals have been achieved, and pivots need to be made for new ideas. Spend some time finding clarity on what we need to do daily and how those activities would add to our overall goals.

[12:05] Chasing the Dream

Our actions should inspire our kids when they see us living our life. Make them feel inspired to live the life that we’re living. So not only are we supposed to chase our dream and show that to our kids, but we also inspire them to do the same thing. We need to make sure our goals are identified and then make them happen.

[13:21] Maintain Meaningful Connections 

If we're not intentionally doing things, then we're just existing. We must keep track of who we have meaningful conversations and with whom we connect. It is important for us to be able to live the life that we want to live.

[39:15] Have a Vision

We have to think big and have a vision. Without a vision, how will we know if we're going in the right direction? Thinking big means getting a clear vision that can lead us to the clarity we aspire to achieve. Be clear on what we need to do today to win the day so that we can wake up tomorrow knowing that yesterday was fruitful and successful.

Notable quotes from the Episode:

[13:19] “If you're not intentionally doing things, then you're just existing.”

[25:39] “Without a vision, how will you know if you're going in the right direction?”

[40:10] “Find out where you want to go, and then get around other people who are already there, and you'll become like them.”

[40:22] “People get where they want to be because they are intentional about it.”
