Now, before our episode begins, here's a quick word from today's sponsors.
Anything of real meaning in life requires work.
There's no secret formula or a password.
that gets you where you want to be.
Anyone who made anything of themselves
did one thing better than pretty much everybody else.
They put in the effort.
They showed up every day and did the work.
Consistently, they were willing to do what other people wouldn't.
And that's how they separated themselves from the crowd
and rose to the top.
Do what others won't today.
So tomorrow, you can do what others can't.
You want to live the life you dream of living.
And I want that for you too.
But in order to live that life you're dreaming about,
you have to put in the work.
Life is designed to be productive.
We must be productive to feel happiness and fulfillment.
And productive means something different to everyone.
You have to define that for yourself.
And remember, the easy way usually isn't the best way or the right way.
The mind can find all kinds of reasons to procrastinate and avoid.
So be straight up and honest with yourself.
Where do I want to go?
Who do I want to go?
to be. How am I holding myself back and don't try to cut corners? Real results, real success,
real meaning in life cannot be obtained by rushing, cheating, or cutting corners. You can only get there
by showing up consistently. Believing in that dream and sticking to it. Putting in the effort
Day after day, the easiest way to start and succeed is by focusing on the step that's right in front of you.
Just one step at a time.
And once you've made that first step, then look to the next after that.
And look, it's worthwhile to be efficient too.
Think through how to make progress first and constantly be willing to refine your approach.
But the work has to get done one way or another.
It's not I have to get it done.
It's, I'm so lucky to be able to do this.
What a gift to be able to spend my time creating a life I dream about.
And there's going to be moments where you'll want to stop.
That's okay.
You should take breaks.
And that's the time to take a step back.
and look at how far you've come.
Appreciate your hard work sometimes.
Because that will then re-motivate you
to keep moving forward,
to see how high you can go.
When you really get down to it,
your deepest sense of self-worth and self-confidence
will come out
when and only when you consistently put in the work.
The human brain is designed like this,
It makes evolutionary sense to feel rewarded and fulfilled by productivity.
It doesn't have to be about doing better than everyone else.
The ultimate competitors are who you were yesterday and who you want to be tomorrow.
That's the game of life.
Today, you get to try to beat who you were yesterday.
And you can do that.
I guarantee it.
So decide right here and now how you're going to outdo yourself from yesterday.
And remember, it just takes one step, one step ahead of yesterday.
That's it.
It's so manageable.
So figure out what that step is today and take it.
Celebrate when you finish.
and then wake up tomorrow and get excited to find that next step
and climb just that bit more if you do this consistently.
You're going to become so happy, so confident,
so proud of who you are and who you're becoming.
Soon, you won't even recognize your old self.
So my friend, remember, do what.
Others won't today, so that you can do what others can't tomorrow.
Get up.
Get going.
And do the work.
Well, my friend, that's all for today.
I'm so grateful that you chose to join me here.
This is a very special episode for me because it's the 500th episode of Wake Me Up that I've made.
I encourage you to go back and listen to my very first episode.
And that's not because it was good.
It's because you will see the words and the philosophy in this episode playing out in real life.
I wasn't that good when I started this show.
But practice, repetition, step-by-step improvement, I've grown quite a lot.
And I thank you so much for being part of this journey with me.
If you would like to join on the next step of the journey,
then I encourage you to check out my newest channel, Sleep Escape,
where you'll find calming meditations narrated by me
to help you get a good night's rest.
I'll put a link for it in the episode description if you'd like to check it out.
Thanks so much for tuning it.
I hope to see you back here soon.
Until next time, go out and have an absolutely
Fantastic day.
