The World Needs You's Podcast
Motivation Isn't The Only Thing You Need
Join us, Chris and Shelsea Novosel, as we reveal our recipe for success, beyond motivation in this episode of the World Needs You podcast. Through personal stories from our nearly ten-year journey together, we share how we met, and the bumpy road along the way in career changes and life.
Our journey through career transitions takes you from Philadelphia to the sandy shores of Myrtle Beach, culminating in an unexpected adventure in Florida, driven by a dream too vivid to ignore. We discuss leveraging connections, embracing risks, and negotiating for better roles, all while learning to dance with fear and let life's twists guide personal and spiritual growth.
How do passion, discipline, and authenticity intersect to propel us toward our goals? We explore this dynamic, emphasizing that while passion ignites motivation, discipline ensures progress when enthusiasm wanes. By sharing personal anecdotes and reflections, we encourage you to embrace discomfort, eliminate distractions, and stay true to your values. We pose a thought-provoking question about life satisfaction that will inspire you to reconnect with your passions and take concrete steps toward fulfilling your aspirations. Join us for a candid conversation about turning setbacks into stepping stones on the road to realizing your dreams.

Welcome to the World Needs you podcast, where we dive into the journey of mindset, self-discovery and inner growth.
Speaker 2:We're your hosts, Chris and Chelsea Novosel, and we're here to have real, candid conversations about what it means to live with purpose and unlock your full potential.
Speaker 1:Each week, we'll explore the tools and strategies that can help you cultivate a strong mindset, embrace who you truly are and make a meaningful impact in the world.
Speaker 2:Whether we're sharing our own experiences or learning from our incredible guests, we're here to remind you that the world needs what only you can offer, so get ready to dive deep, grow and step into your power, because the world needs you.
Speaker 1:All right, Hello y'all you good hello, oh god, here we go. You need to drink some lemon water here. Hello and welcome to our third episode. Today we are going to go into the topic of motivation and what helps us light the fire under our ass to do things, and a little bit of our background story, maybe, how we've handled change and been resilient through our almost 10 years of marriage with different things. I think resilience has helped us. So hello, christopher Novosel, what's up, hon? What is on your mind and heart today?
Speaker 2:Getting back to a consistent routine that leads me towards my goals, and that's really. I mean, it's pretty simple. I don't have anything too crazy going on, but I'm just trying to get to where I feel better, when I have a solid routine and when I feel like I'm doing things every day that lead me towards my goals. And it's hard with three kids and a wife that takes on new projects and it's just a go-getter as well, so we've got a fun life.
Speaker 1:Balance it out. What are you drinking today? No, grenade mug.
Speaker 2:Elijah Craig top notch. It's my favorite bourbon right here. Cheers.
Speaker 1:Cheers. I have an adrenal cocktail which I don't know if y'all have heard this, but apparently if you have a little bit of salt, some lime and two clementines juiced in water, it helps your cortisol levels, which I feel like I need. So I'm opting for the sober girl drink today. Today, on my mind and heart is the fact that I almost have a sold out retreat, which is insane.
Speaker 2:That's awesome.
Speaker 1:So the story is Friday night. My friend and business partner, stevie and I we were on the beach hosting this Hurricane Helene benefit. So while we were there, we were talking and we were like, hey, we should really do a retreat, it'd be awesome to even possibly do one local. And I said to her well, I know this woman who has a house who has told me that we should use her house for a retreat. I haven't seen her in like two years. She used to come to yoga all the time and I have not seen her. So I could reach back out to her and see if she still has the house. Maybe we could do that. Sunday rolls around and in walks. The woman who I have not seen in two years and she came right up to me at the end of the class was like hey, just so you know I still have that house. We were just like all right, let's pick a date and make it happen.
Speaker 2:So within that timeframe, you made it happen, I made it happen that day.
Speaker 1:We went to the beach. I got home from teaching and I'm I'm in this like creative flow work mode when I got home but I knew I had to spend some time with my family. So it's like, how do you balance out the two? So we went to the beach and I brought my notebook and I kind of flowed in between, like walking down to the ocean, and I remember exactly like walking down to the ocean and be like inner radiance that's what it's going to be called and then I like came up and wrote it down.
Speaker 1:And then just sat and wrote down the entire schedule of the weekend, each workshop, each theme, and then made some calls, put some connections together, got a few people that could help. So within 24 hours I wrote a 17 page retreat manual where it shows people like the different rooms and the prices and different frequently asked questions and what to expect. So just got really laser focused for 24 hours and just focused on that and that alone. Well, also obviously managing the kids, but that was like my main project and got it done. And then, like, two days later we almost have it completely sold out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:It's insane.
Speaker 2:I know it's been a little retreat you did. The last retreat you did was 10 years ago in Costa Rica and it was amazing.
Speaker 1:So that was a good time.
Speaker 2:You know it was before kids and I mean, I was the only guy there, but it was still a good experience. It's cool to see you in your flow and just excited about that. I think it's going to be a great retreat. I'm excited for you and the people that are going to be, there, and we're both that way where we get our mind on something and then we just make it happen.
Speaker 1:A few people were like how did you do that? How does that happen? And my response was you just do it, take action. And it got me thinking, and that's what we want to go into today. What if there's someone out there who wants to do something, whether it's write a book or create more art or start a business or whatever? What do they do to get the ball rolling? For me, I'm like just start, just take one step forward and the momentum takes you there. And the other thing is to have that core value of integrity, because if you tell people you're going to do it and there's other people relying on you and counting on you I mean for me then you know I'm just going to do it, whereas if no one's relying on me, then I might take my sweet time. Yeah, you got to follow through with your commitments If no one's relying on me, then I might take my sweet time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got to follow through with your commitments, and I think that's where, when you said that accountability, I think that's a really good piece to set for yourself as well. One thing I think, too, is yeah, just do it. I think the piece that probably a lot of people need to remember and try to get present with and hone in on is what are the current things that you're reaching towards as distractions? Are you going to your phone? Are you going to video games? You go into different things every day that, pretty much, are stealing your creativity, stealing your goals.
Speaker 1:that's a good spot to start so that you can create the space that's the thing too, because people are like oh, how do you run three businesses, how do you? You have three kids and run businesses and stay home and not have help with the baby? I don't watch Netflix, I don't watch TV. There's never a point in my day where I'm sitting on the couch just watching TV.
Speaker 2:Ever. It's usually like a once a month. It's not that we never watch TV. Sometimes we have TV while we're doing things. The girls have their stuff on, but it's just sitting down.
Speaker 1:Actually watching something usually takes a lot of effort, oh yeah, because I'd rather be producing, I'd rather be doing something fun, like to me. It's fun to me, like jumping into action and making things and creating things is fun. So I enjoy that. But I think too. In the past I have been like, you know, my twenties. I was like in the party world and I think about this so much, and especially with my nieces and and my daughters. If I could give a 20 something year old one piece of advice, it would be don't drink, don't party, start a business, put your head down and focus, and that's it. And then, when you're in your thirties, oh man, it's going to be so great. I look back on those moments in Philadelphia and I'm like, what was I doing from the age of like 21 till when did we meet when I was 28?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was 26.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 21 to 28.
Speaker 2:If you weren't into that, you probably wouldn't have met me at the bar, that's true. You can't just remove everything.
Speaker 1:Should we tell the story how we met?
Speaker 2:Are we going there? I don't know. I feel like that needs to be its own.
Speaker 1:Well, it's interesting too how that happened. I think at the end of the day and this goes into jumping into action the things that motivate you are going to help you jump into action. The things that, like, excite you and light you up are going to help you jump into action. Rewind to when I was 28 years old. I was working for free people doing visual merchandising and different things, and I was miserable, absolutely miserable. I hated my life, I hated my job.
Speaker 1:And I ran into a friend when I was down at the Jersey shore in Avalon and he owned a bar in Conshohocken and I was like, hey, I really want to quit my job and just teach yoga, but I'm going to need some more income. So do you think I could bartend? And he was like sure, come on in. So I bartended, got these good times on Sundays so that I could quit my job and teach yoga during the week. And that's when we met. But if I didn't have that desire, that fire to go for the thing that I wanted, which was teaching yoga, then I would have never met you, because I would have never had to get that. I thought the thing that you wanted was me, Because I would have never had to get that.
Speaker 1:I thought the thing that you wanted was me. Yeah, that too. We'll leave that story. When Chris almost left the bar with this girl We'll leave that for another day.
Speaker 2:Well, I took the action. Once I realized that the bartender you noticed me. I took the action to end that and make sure that I focused on you.
Speaker 1:Yes, so while we were in Philadelphia, we had the opportunity to move to the Washington DC area and at the time you were working in a position that was I mean, how did you do it? Slinging bread, Slinging bread, Bread slinger. So you had to wake up at 2 am.
Speaker 1:And legit, like your phone would ring and you would hop out of bed and be like hello, this is Chris. I'm like how do you do that? So let's talk about that. So that wasn't even necessarily something that motivated you. I mean, what was behind that that you could get up at 2 am with fire and be awake?
Speaker 2:That's just kind of how it was as a kid. My brothers were that way where we just worked at a young age. I started working when I was 14. I think I just had that work ethic where I knew I needed to work to survive. The misconstrued thing that I've learned and you've helped me get to, is that working 80 hours doesn't mean you make a whole bunch of money because you could be doing something.
Speaker 1:That's low value work smart, not super hard, but to an extent, yeah, just work smart, work hard and work smart yeah, but you know you still work hard at what you do. I still work hard, but I try to work smart too.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Let's go to the point where we're in Philly. We had just gotten married and you got a phone call and got offered a promotion. What does your wife say?
Speaker 2:I thought you were going to be pumped and you were like hell, no.
Speaker 1:So the time in. Philadelphia, I was working a job that I absolutely loved and adored. I was working for a huge fitness center and built their programs for yoga and managed all the fitness people there and all the yoga instructors and I was coming up with retreats and workshops and it was amazing and I didn't want to leave that.
Speaker 2:And my. The salary they were offering me was not as glorious as it should have been.
Speaker 1:So I said tell them no.
Speaker 2:Tell them no and tell them what you want and what you need and deserve to do that. And what happened, and a month later they came back and gave me what I wanted. You're welcome.
Speaker 1:So then we're in Washington DC area. We were there in Loudoun County, virginia, for about two years and right around New Year's I remember, we were writing down our goals, which is like a thing that we like to do. We were sitting at the dining room table writing down our goals and I said let's write down our ideal life. We wrote it down privately and then we switched and read it and we both said live by the beach. You jumped into action immediately and you were like all right, let's make this happen, let's figure it out. And I said Charleston. I was dead set on Charleston. So we had actually scheduled a vacation to go to Charleston.
Speaker 1:You were making phone calls like crazy. So that's another piece that helps someone jump into action is don't be afraid to make the phone calls and don't be afraid to use the connections that you have to make the thing happen. Use the resources that you have. There's so many resources. There are people out there that love to be connectors. I personally love connecting people. If someone were to call me and be like, hey, I'm looking for a job in this industry, I will like rattle my brain to try to help connect them with whoever it is.
Speaker 2:Looking for a job in finance.
Speaker 1:Oh my.
Speaker 2:God.
Speaker 1:So that's what you did, though you called a bunch of different people and lined up an interview in Charleston, when we had already had a vacation scheduled. So you got the interview, and the guy interviewing you was like, well, you better just drive up to Myrtle Beach, because that is where the job is. And what did your wife say?
Speaker 2:You were scared of dirty Myrtle at first.
Speaker 1:I was like hell, no, I'm not moving to Myrtle Beach, no way. I was against it, completely against it. But then eventually I said okay, and that's what brought us here. And at the time you were working commercial insurance and that was a grind, that was a hustle and that was like a little bit of a miserable job for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I think it was what was needed. Sometimes you got to get punched in the face to learn.
Speaker 1:I heard it here, folks you got to get punched in the face, in the face to learn. I heard it here, folks you got to get punched in the face.
Speaker 2:A little aggressive, but and everybody's journey is different those are sometimes the things that I may be attract because I was at a young age. Now I'm in pharma and and it's really it's something I enjoy, I love I get to talk about something that I really am passionate about. I think that's a good thing to pay attention, to Pay attention to what you attract. Sometimes what tends a lot of things in your life will cycle over, based on your personality and what you attract, without realizing it.
Speaker 1:What you allow, yeah, what you allow. So we moved to Myrtle, yeah, went to.
Speaker 2:Charleston checked out Myrtle. You were really reluctant and I just said this is what we're doing murder. You were really reluctant and I just said this is what we're doing, not like that. But I just said I was really like this. We really need to do this, let's take the jump. So there was a little bit of fear there in doing it, but we did take the jump and and it ended up being it was okay until well looking forward. Now is the right thing.
Speaker 1:We at the point in time it was a lot of different trials and tribulations, for sure until your psychic wife had a dream one night that we were going to move to Florida. Yeah, and what happened?
Speaker 2:And then we moved to Florida.
Speaker 1:And then, like the next day, you got this recruiter message on LinkedIn.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it just ended up like I felt like we had to go for the evolution of your soul. It was truly a soul journey, I feel like, for you, and it was a moment when everything changed and like your confidence shifted. Florida was hard, it was another hustle, it was a grind, it was, you know, commercial insurance. Down there was a whole different ball game than even Myrtle Beach. And you didn't. You went down there with zero relationships. So you had to start from the ground up and I knew instantly, once we were in Florida, I'm like, okay, this is just like a short journey, like we've got to make our way back to Myrtle Beach because this is not a good fit. But I also knew that you needed to learn what you needed to learn. So during Ayana's nap times, I would, instead of watching Netflix, I would go on LinkedIn and look for jobs for you. And I found a pharmaceutical company hiring in Myrtle Beach. And what did I say since the moment we got together?
Speaker 2:You need to be in pharma.
Speaker 1:Yes, you need to be in pharma because it's the best schedule. You'd be great at it. You're so personable, you got a pretty face.
Speaker 2:Hey now.
Speaker 1:So, long story short, ended up coming back here and got into pharma, and how was that experience for you? Do you feel like that was easier or were there more struggles in that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I think it came more natural and I had more support with my manager and just team and just it was. It's different. I mean, every sales job is different and that's definitely one that had challenges, and then it was.
Speaker 1:COVID happened.
Speaker 2:So that brought more challenges for that and you know I was able to adapt and do well and I think it's a great industry and definitely one where I've been fortunate enough to to find things that I'm passionate about to represent.
Speaker 1:Do you think that it's the passion that drives somebody into action, or do you think it is fear or the combination of both? Because you said, you and your brothers, you've always been hard workers because you kind of had to be. You know, you were raised by a single mom who kind of struggled with finances, and so you saw that and you were like, okay, I need to hustle, and you had that in you from a young age. But then what is it that keeps you going?
Speaker 2:I would say passion definitely is a big key because if you're passionate about doing something, you're going to put in the efforts.
Speaker 1:Okay. So what about the situation where, let's say, I'm really motivated to do something, but then the motivation fizzles and I just don't feel like it anymore?
Speaker 2:Well, that's life. No matter if you're passionate about something or not you're going to go through ups and downs of motivation, at least from my perspective.
Speaker 1:Right. So I think the other piece of it is to not let your emotion drive you. I think if you let your emotion drive you, you're not going to get into motion. Exactly Leading with emotions never really. I think the thing is that people that do that create and that take the step and that take the action feel like it. I can tell you a lot of things that I do. I don't necessarily feel like doing, but I do it anyway. So I think it's taking that emotion out and finding something that trumps the emotion. For example, the retreat thing I really wanted to do it, right. I wanted like the idea of holding a retreat sounds amazing. Do I really want to sit and write a 17 page retreat book and take my family beach day to write in a notebook? No, I don't want to do that, I don't feel like doing that. But there's something there that's like higher than my emotional state, like there's like a higher I would say that's a discipline, then right.
Speaker 1:Is it? I don't know, I guess yeah, discipline.
Speaker 2:You're not always going to be motivated. So I would say, don't chase motivation. Instill discipline. Instill things that are going to be good for your life, that are going, that are good for your health, good for your wealth, good for your happiness, all the things that you're trying to experience each day. Instill those things into your daily life as much as you can. Motivation's going to come and go. It's going to be something that, when you feel it, I would use it. I'd take that as momentum, like hey, I feel really motivated right now to do this.
Speaker 1:So it's the motivation that puts you into motion, the discipline that keeps you focused, the core values that keep you in integrity of finishing, and then maybe, like the shiny thing at the end that gives you that reward, that part of your brain that's like I know that there's a reward somewhere in this.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Eventually and having patience. I think that's the other thing. Like everybody wants instant gratification, so can you just work on being consistent with whatever the thing is, taking the action one step at a time, absolutely. Have you ever been unmotivated, like in a place where you're not taking action, in a place where you're just low?
Speaker 2:Just running the motions. Yeah, it happens sometimes, for sure. I think sometimes when you get into a routine where it is autopilot, you sometimes just don't feel motivated.
Speaker 1:I think it's too, when there's like distractions, like I think about my 20s. I think that's why you go to distractions.
Speaker 2:Yes, I'm going to a distraction because I just don't feel motivated in this moment. There's not one person that is motivated all the time it comes and goes that is motivated all the time it comes and goes. You have to be strict on your disciplines and you have to use motivation when you can to benefit you in that moment. It all takes awareness and presence, which we bring up a lot when I think about my 20s.
Speaker 1:I'm like, okay, I was so miserable that I would use partying to almost numb my misery. And then it was like this loop of party be miserable, party, be miserable, and just stuck in that loop when really I should have just saved my money and traveled the world 20 year olds out there. Save your money. Don't go to the club Bottle service, it ain't worth it. Go to Thailand, go to India, go to Europe.
Speaker 2:I can't believe you partied so hard back then.
Speaker 1:But I mean, there's so many different distractions and here's the thing too this is what's coming through right now is that you have to be willing to focus on the long-term reward over the short-term reward, because the short-term reward is always going to be willing to focus on the long-term reward over the short-term reward, because the short-term reward is always going to be something lower. Vibe Short-term reward of me drinking a glass of wine right now. No, no, shame on you for drinking your alcohol. But short-term reward is that I would feel a little like bubbly, right, but with that I'm then going to feel like crap tomorrow morning. So the long-term reward is I feel really good tomorrow morning. So when I wake up for yoga 6 am, I'm going to be feeling nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a good example.
Speaker 1:Think about the long-term rewards over short-term gratification.
Speaker 2:I'm still going to be up earlier than you feel like a million bucks, You're a weird machine what puts gas in the Chris Novosel tank.
Speaker 1:That's what I want to know.
Speaker 2:I'm not really sure. Stubbornness I would say because that's what allows me to stay disciplined is I'm just stubborn when I say I'm going to.
Speaker 1:Okay, let's say there's somebody that is just not disciplined. They don't have a disciplined bone in their body. They crumble the moment. They don't feel like doing something. They're like well, I'm just going to flow with how I feel and I'm not going to do it. What would you say to them?
Speaker 2:Well, I would say we all. We all have the same opportunities to instill discipline. It may come based on different personalities, it may come easier to some, but discipline is earned. It's kind of like a muscle over time that I've continued to build and it's something I don't have to think about much for certain things. I mean, I've got a lot of different flaws and things that I'm looking in the mirror at every day. So it's not to say that I've got it figured out, and things that I'm looking in the mirror at every day. So it's not to say that I've got it figured out, but I think I've instilled over many years at least. You know I'm what 37? About.
Speaker 2:When I turned 30, I started really just saying you know what, quit feeling sorry for yourself, quit being a victim, quit all these things and just start instilling these disciplines and you'll be thankful going forward. You just have to dig up that motivation when you can. So, like we were talking about earlier, any moment of motivation that you have, use that to instill a discipline. I mean, there are there's things that we all do every day that we're disciplined with. You know what I mean. Is I mean to brush your teeth every morning? Is that considered a discipline?
Speaker 2:I mean it's something very minor, but every morning.
Speaker 1:Is that considered a discipline? I mean, it's something very minor, but I think something that just came up for me too is like people that do the ice baths. That is like embracing the suck, embracing the pain. So I think that's part of it, too Part of you, to really be someone that like jumps into action and that does the thing. That like jumps into action and that does the thing. You got to embrace the suck a little bit. You got to be okay with recognizing oh, this part is going to be painful and I'm okay.
Speaker 2:And at the end of it it's going to be a little better. Yeah, embracing the suck. But I think a lot of people that do that realize the mental strength that it gives you. So same with things that I do, like you know working out and you know trying to have a healthy routine of drinking water and eating and things like that you embrace the suck or realize, hey, this is hard to commit to this on a regular basis. But I think there's a higher motivator for a lot of people. You know, with that particular example, I'd say it's the mental strength that people get from that.
Speaker 1:What about people that are, like, really stuck? Think of somebody who maybe, like, they get home from work at the end of the day and they crack open a beer and they sit on the couch from 5 pm till 1130. So then they're not sleeping well, they're drinking.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:How do they snap out of that?
Speaker 2:Well, you got. I think you have to get to a point where you look in the mirror and you say enough is enough. That person becomes present with, and they sit down. What?
Speaker 1:if they joke? What if they are present and they joke about it and they're like ha ha, this is just who I am. You over there, you got the, you got the motivation.
Speaker 2:I mean, is that presence, though? Because If you're saying, this is just who I am, what else are they saying to themselves throughout the day of their life? Are they also saying, hey, I want to be a great husband, I want to be a great father? Well then, I'd say they're not present. Or I want to be an entrepreneur, I want to run a business.
Speaker 1:So aligning their presence with their intention or their goals Exactly.
Speaker 2:Because some people think they are present when they're. Yeah, look at me, I'm lifting my hand up, I'm putting the beer in my mouth and I'm putting it down. That's not presence I'm talking about. I want to be a great example for my kids. I'd sit and have a conversation with myself. Is doing this every day from 5 to 11, is that aligned with me?
Speaker 1:Well, what if it's just a habit, though they're me? Well, what if it's just a habit, though they're stuck, they're in the habit. How do they get out of that habit?
Speaker 2:I'd say, have that honest conversation search and just break it search for that presence figure it out and for me I needed to somebody to be honest with me and just kind of tell me straight, but which I found through podcasts. But you know, I started listening to podcasting. That kind of helped me find that inner voice. To just be like dude quit, andy, priscilla, I can't say everything you would say.
Speaker 1:Listen, mother effers.
Speaker 2:That's what worked for me, but it can be so many different things for everybody. I think if you're learning to listen to podcasts, I think that does show you or at least podcasts that are like self-developmental type that shows that you do want more. You do want better for yourself. So really try to take something from whatever you're listening to and apply it to your life.
Speaker 1:Hold yourself accountable, stop waiting. Stop waiting for somebody to do it for you. I think there are so many people that grew up to, and maybe situations where they were kind of coddled or like somebody was always doing the thing for them so they never actually had to take the action on their own. But, like you said, it's this conversation that you have to have with yourself of being like all right, it's nobody's coming, you've got to save yourself. Like you've got to just wake up and look at yourself in the mirror and be like this is not the life I want to live, and then, through that, I think sometimes those rock bottoms, you know, vary, but whatever your rock bottom is, can help propel you into something greater sometimes.
Speaker 2:And once you start searching, once you do look for that, hey, I'm, I'm just, I need, I need to change, I need to do some things here. Find what it is. Is it your wife, is it your kids Is? Is it you know, ferrari or a nice car?
Speaker 1:but find your why yeah, find your.
Speaker 2:Find your why, but also find there's a lot of us will do more when it's for others. I do things for me, but a lot of times I'm motivated because it's something for y'all, so I'm motivated to devotion, exactly.
Speaker 1:So Take action, just take the first step. Don't be afraid to be bad at it, just start.
Speaker 2:Remove distractions.
Speaker 1:Remove the numbing mechanisms, whatever they are, especially if they're things that are standing in the way and that are creating these obstacles. Embrace the suck. Be okay with recognizing that you're not going to always feel like doing something. Do it anyway. And then devotion, finding something beyond just you to be devoted to and to dedicate the action to.
Speaker 2:Beautiful. Those are the steps. That was good, babe.
Speaker 1:Any last closing thoughts there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would just say first off, if you're listening to this, or in support of us, or you're listening because you found it just through, this is the type of podcast you find awesome. Thanks for being here, appreciate having everybody here and the different support that we have. You know, I think one of the main reasons we're having these conversations is to just bring our authentic selves and talk about things. Naturally, like we for this, we didn't have a script and we're just kind of like, hey, this is something that I think is meaningful.
Speaker 2:Off the cuffs. If you're here, that means you want to get better. Slow down, just look at yourself in the mirror and evaluate where you're at. I mean, in the example Chelsea used earlier, with the person coming home, you're relaxing, you work hard, you sit on the couch, you have some beers and you look at yourself, you have that conversation and you're happy with that and it aligns with your goals. There's no shame with that, because everybody wants different things out of life. So it's not to throw any darts at anybody.
Speaker 2:But I would say I challenge you to have that conversation with yourself. Am I aligned with my goals? Am I operating in a way that is going to move them forward? Once you have that conversation, just start instilling the little actions, the little disciplines that are going to allow you to move forward little by little. You're going to fail, you're going to fall short, you're going to fall down, make mistakes, do things that create shame, embarrassment, whatever it is. But you got to power through that and just continue to chase your dreams, chase what you know is good for yourself, good for your family, good for those you love and good for the world. And I think with just that intention you'll do amazing things and we'll do it together.
Speaker 1:Yes and feel worthy of it, worthy of receiving whatever it is, at the end, that you want. If you were to die tomorrow, would you be happy with how you lived your life, or would there be things that you wish you had done? Thank you, guys, so much for joining us today. Remember to stay connected to whatever it is that you are devoted to. Take that first step, do the damn thing.
