1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Manifestation doesn't work when you're waiting for signs instead of

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: building systems. It doesn't work if you want change but

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: refuse to change. It doesn't work when you speak the

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: affirmation but live the opposite. Manifestation doesn't work if your

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: belief expires the moment things get uncomfortable, And it doesn't

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: work when you expect the universe to do what discipline

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: is meant to do. Manifestation works when you match intention

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: with infrastructure. The number one health and wellness podcast, Jay

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Shetty Jay Sheddy. Hey everyone, it's Jay Shedy, your host

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: of On Purpose. Welcome back to the podcast. Make sure

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: you've subscribed if you haven't, it makes a big difference

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: to podcasters, and it means you'll never miss an episode. Now.

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Today's episode is all about how to manifest all of

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: your dreams coming true in twenty twenty six, the masterclass

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: on turning Goals into Reality. Now, I want to be

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: honest with you. We've all started a new year with

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: big goals. This is the year I'm finally going to

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: start that business. This is the year I'm going to

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: lose the weight. This is the year I'm finally going

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: to launch that podcast. Every January, people make goals new body,

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: new job, new business, new life, new you, and by

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: February most of them are gone. But get this, only

23
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: one percent said they lasted for eleven or twelve months.

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: Not because you don't care, but because the dreams we

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 1: build are built on excitement, not systems. Real manifestation isn't

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: wishing and waiting, it's wiring. You don't attract what you want.

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: You attract what you build a system for, and that

28
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: requires a plan that rewires your mind, your motions, your

29
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: habits to match your vision. So in this episode, we're

30
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: not going to talk about luck. We're going to talk

31
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: about alignment, the psychology and strategy behind turning your vision

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six into visible results. Twenty twenty six

33
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: won't be your best year because you wish harder. It

34
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: will be your best year because you align deeper. Step

35
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: number one, end before you begin, let go of the

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: year that's still living in your head. We all love beginnings,

37
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: but beginnings don't work unless you properly end. You finished

38
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: a year of school, you start the next one. You

39
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: end a relationship, you start another one. Beginnings don't work

40
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: unless you properly end. Most of us start a new

41
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: year without ever ending the last one. We rush into

42
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: January full of plans and resolutions, but part of us

43
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: is still carrying the weight of what didn't happen last year.

44
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: The goals we missed, the relationship that ended, the business

45
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: that didn't take off, the version of ourselves we thought

46
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: we'd be by now. And so we're technically in a

47
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: new year, but emotionally we're still stuck in the last one.

48
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: When you don't consciously end a year, it lingers. It

49
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: shows up in subtle ways. You hesitate to dream because

50
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: you don't trust yourself to follow through. You avoid risks

51
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: because last time it hurt you too much. You start over,

52
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: but secretly believe you're already behind. That's what it means

53
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: to have a year still living in your head. It

54
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: keeps whispering old stories into new seasons. Before you decide

55
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: what you want this year, you need to ask what

56
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: am I done? Carrying? Every new goal struggles to take

57
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: root because we haven't released what's been draining us, the resentment,

58
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the guilt, the habit that keeps looping. Psychologists call this

59
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: cognitive closure, the act of finishing, and in emotional story,

60
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: So your brain can focus on a new one. So

61
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: take a minute tonight and finish this sentence in twenty

62
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: twenty five, I finally stopped X. You'll be amazed how

63
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: freeing that is. You can even create a small ritual,

64
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: write down what you're ready to release on paper, burn it,

65
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: bury it, or tear it up. Say thank you for

66
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: what you taught me. I don't need to carry you anymore.

67
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: That moment of symbolic closure signals to your nervous system

68
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: were done here. It gives your energy somewhere new to go.

69
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Letting go of the year that's still living in your

70
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: head doesn't mean erasing the past. It means reclaiming your

71
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: capacity to begin again. You can't step fully into what's

72
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: next if you're still holding hands with what's over. You

73
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: can't start your year strong if you never ended the

74
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: last one. You can buy the planners, set the goals,

75
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: peat the affirmations, But if part of you is still

76
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: carrying last year's disappointments, fears or unfinished stories, you're not

77
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: starting fresh. You're starting crowded. Because the truth is, new

78
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: beginnings don't start on January first. They start the moment

79
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: you stop dragging old energy into new opportunities. The second

80
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: step is choose a word, not a goal, because goals change,

81
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: but energy is constant. Resolutions fade because they're rigid. A

82
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: word gives you direction without pressure. If your goal is

83
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: to start a business, your word might be build. If

84
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: your goal is to lose weight, your word might be discipline.

85
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: If your dream is to launch a podcast, it might

86
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: be voice. That single word acts as a psychological anchor.

87
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 1: A twenty nineteen Stanford study found that people who frame

88
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: their goals around identity based words I am becoming focused

89
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: instead of tasks I will focus was sixty five percent

90
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: more likely to stay consistent. So before setting your plan,

91
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: set your energy, your word becomes your compass. You can

92
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: then say, does this choice align with who I'm becoming

93
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: or with who I'm done being? I realized, though, when

94
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: I stopped obsessing over goals and started focusing on growth,

95
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 1: I actually reached my goals faster because growth made me better, stronger, smarter.

96
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: When you chase goals, you measure distance. When you chase growth,

97
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: you build momentum. Goals are external. They live on your calendar,

98
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: your to do list, your vision board. Growth is internal,

99
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: It lives in your mindset. Your habits, your character. Most

100
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: people focus on the finish line and forget the training.

101
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: They're on the promotion, the body, the launch, but they

102
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: skipped the process that creates it. That's why step number

103
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: three is create a system, not a wish Listure is

104
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: the real secret behind success. Every dream is two parts

105
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: intention and infrastructure. You can't manifest a podcast without a

106
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: recording schedule. You can't build a business without product testing.

107
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: You can't get fit without consistent sleep and nutrition. James

108
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Clear's research shows that you don't rise to the level

109
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.

110
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: If you want to start a business, create a thirty

111
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: minute daily idea lab where you brainstorm, test, and learn

112
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: something new about your industry. If you want to lose weight,

113
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: don't aim for perfection, aim for consistency. Start with three

114
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: workouts a week and track progress, not perfection. You want

115
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: to launch a podcast, record one five minutes solo episode

116
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: per week. Make it a ritual, not a result. Manifestation

117
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: only works when your calendar matches your calling. Manifestation doesn't

118
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: work when you're asking for some your habits contradict. It

119
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: doesn't work if you only visualize the outcome but avoid

120
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: the process. Manifestation doesn't work when you're waiting for signs

121
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: instead of building systems. It doesn't work if you want

122
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: change but refuse to change. It doesn't work when you

123
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: speak the affirmation but live the opposite. Manifestation doesn't work

124
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: if your belief expires the moment things get uncomfortable, and

125
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't work when you expect the universe to do

126
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: what discipline is meant to do. It doesn't work if

127
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: you're manifesting from fear, not faith, trying to control instead

128
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: of create. Manifestation works when you match intention with infrastructure.

129
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: Step number four upgrade your environment, because discipline is easier

130
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: when you don't fight your surroundings. If you're trying to

131
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: get off sugar, but every snack in your cupboard is

132
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: full of sugar, you're now testing yourself. If you want

133
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: to get off sodas, but your refrigerator is full of sodas,

134
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: you're now testing yourself. If you want to work out,

135
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: but you haven't found the right gym that's easy to

136
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: get to, or the right workout plan, you're testing yourself.

137
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: We don't fail because we don't care. We fail because

138
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: we're constantly testing ourselves. We're making things harder. We're making

139
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: it harder to feel motivated. We're making it harder to

140
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: stick to our boundaries. We're making it harder to stick

141
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: to our own rules. Behavioral science shows that forty five

142
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: percent of our actions are habitual and triggered by environment,

143
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: not motiv Follow this one thing and you'll reach your goal.

144
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: If your goal is to eat better, start with your kitchen.

145
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: If your goal is to focus, put away your phone.

146
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: If your goal is to save money, start with your

147
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: spending triggers. If your goal is to build confidence, start

148
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: with your self talk. If your goal is to find love,

149
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: start with your boundaries. If your goal is to grow

150
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: your business, start with your calendar. If your goal is

151
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: to heal, start with your habits. If your goal is

152
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: to be happier, start with your attention. Because change doesn't

153
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: begin with a goal, it begins with your environment. You

154
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: don't need more willpower, you need fewer friction points. Success

155
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: isn't about trying harder, it's about designing smarter. If your

156
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: environment is full of noise, you'll forget what your own

157
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: voice sounds like. If your environment is filled with clutter,

158
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: your mind will mirror the mess If your environment is

159
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: built on carechaos, peace will always feel like a luxury.

160
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: If your environment is full of doubt, confidence won't survive there.

161
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: If your environment is small, your vision will start to

162
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: shrink to fit it. If your environment is lifeless, your

163
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: motivation will follow. There's a reason why the phrase you

164
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: are a product of your environment is so well known,

165
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: because it's true. If you're surrounded by books, you'll read books.

166
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: If you're surrounded by screens, you'll be distracted. That's how

167
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: it works, that's how the brain works. And then you're

168
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: forcing yourself, pushing yourself, driving yourself, and which maybe you

169
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: will do for three days if you're lucky, maybe three

170
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: weeks if you're really lucky, but you're always working against yourself.

171
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Step number five, break the all or nothing cycle. Instead

172
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: of asking did I fail? Ask what can I learn?

173
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: Instead of starting over, pick up from where you left off.

174
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: Progress is built in the messy middle, not the perfect start.

175
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: If you can't stand to be bad at something first,

176
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: you'll never be great at anything. If you keep editing

177
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: your ideas before you express them, the world will never

178
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: hear your voice. If you measure your worth by how

179
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: few mistakes you make, you'll always feel like a failure.

180
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: If you only celebrate the finished product, you'll miss the

181
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: beauty of the process. If you chase flawless, you lose authentic.

182
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: If you chase approval, you lose momentum. Because the truth,

183
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: perfectionism doesn't make you better, It makes you stuck. It's

184
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: fear dressed up as high standards. Step number six, Use

185
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: emotional visualization. See it, feel it, embody it. Most people

186
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: visualize success like a movie, the money, the followers, the applause,

187
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: but the brain doesn't respond to images response to emotion.

188
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Studies from the University of Chicago show that visualizing the process,

189
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: not just the outcome, increases success rates by forty two percent.

190
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: So if you want to start that business, picture the

191
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: early mornings, the uncertainty, and the excitement. If you want

192
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: to lose weight, imagine how it feels to walk into

193
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: the gym proud, not intimidated. If you want to launch

194
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: your podcast, feel what it's like to hit publish for

195
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: the first time. Nervous but excited emotion turns fantasy into preparation.

196
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: Close your eyes, see it, feel it, believe it. See

197
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: the version of you who already has what you want.

198
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: See them waking up calm, focused and proud. See them

199
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: doing the things you keep postponing. See them making the

200
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: hard choices easily, see them walking into rooms they once

201
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: felt unworthy of. See them speaking with clarity, creating with confidence,

202
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: living with purpose. Feel what it's like to be them.

203
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: Feel the peace in their breath, Feel the strength in

204
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: their posture, Feel the ease in their decisions, Feel the

205
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: gratitude they wake up with before anything happens. You don't

206
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: have to chase this version of you. You're remembering them.

207
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: You're returning to them. You're becoming them. One choice, one breath,

208
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: one act of belief at a time, because every time

209
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: you imagine it with feeling, your brain builds evidence that

210
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: it's real. Every time you see it clearly, your body

211
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: starts preparing to live it. See it until it feels familiar,

212
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: feel it until it feels safe, Believe it until it

213
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: feels inevitable. You reprogram your mind by seeing yourself doing

214
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: the hard things and then going out and doing them.

215
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Step number seven. Work with resistance, not against it, because

216
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: fear is feedback, not failure. Every big goal triggers resistance.

217
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: That's not the universe blocking you. That's your nervous system

218
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: protecting you. Neuroscience calls this prediction error. The brain resists

219
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: anything unfamiliar, even if it's good for you. So instead

220
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: of saying why do I feel scared, say of course

221
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: I do. This is new. Then act anyway. Courage isn't

222
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: the absence of fear. It's moving while it shakes. You

223
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: think successful people are not scared. The truth is they're

224
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: doing what they do while being scared. You think they're

225
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: not nervous. They're doing what they do while they're nervous.

226
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: You think they don't experience anxiety. They're experiencing anxiety while

227
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: they're doing the thing that you love watching them do.

228
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: That's how it works. You work with it, not against it,

229
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: because if you keep fighting it, it just gets stronger

230
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: and bigger and takes over. Step number eight, build public accountability.

231
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: Make your goals collaborative with your friends and competitive with

232
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: the people you really love. A Harvard Business review found

233
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: that people who shared their goals with this supportive community.

234
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: That's an important word. It's not about sharing your goals

235
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: with everyone on the internet. A supportive community are seventy

236
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: six percent more likely to achieve them. Tell a friend

237
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: post your progress in a private group, join a challenge.

238
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: We don't need more private promises to ourselves, and we

239
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: don't need more public performance to others. This isn't about

240
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: tell everyone on Instagram, and it isn't just about live

241
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: with it on your own. We need shared momentum. Isolation

242
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: keeps you stuck. Accountability pulls you forward. So you want

243
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: to be accountable, but to the right group of people.

244
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: If you tell too many people, too many people will

245
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: shut you down. Right if you say I want to

246
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: start a business, someone's going to say I don't think

247
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: your idea is that good. Someone else is going to say, yeah,

248
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: my friend tried a business. It failed. Someone else will say, yeah,

249
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: give it a go, see how it goes. That's not helpful.

250
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: If you're around a group of entrepreneurs, they'll ask you questions.

251
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: I'll say, Okay, what's your business about? Okay, what's your plan? Okay?

252
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: How are you going to find customers? That's the kind

253
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: of community you want to be around. The problem is

254
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: we tell friends and family members who have no idea

255
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: what we're doing, as opposed to telling people who actually

256
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: have the expertise and insight and joining those groups and

257
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: communities are meeting people is a really, really powerful thing

258
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: you can do for yourself. Step number nine, Use gratitude

259
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: as fuel, not fluff, because motivation fades, but appreciation sustains.

260
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: Gratitude isn't just a nice feeling, it's a neurological hack.

261
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: When you track progress, even small wins, you release dopamine,

262
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: the brain's reward chemical. That's why celebrating each step keeps

263
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: you consistent long after excitement fades. Start your days not

264
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: with what's missing, but with what's moving. You realize you're

265
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: not waiting for your dream life, You're already living pieces

266
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: of it. Because number ten is becoming the kind of

267
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: person your dream requires. Identity is the ultimate manifestation to

268
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: You can't create a twenty twenty six version of your

269
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: life with the twenty twenty four version of your beliefs.

270
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: So instead of asking what do I want, ask yourself

271
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: who am I willing to become. The person who starts

272
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: a business acts like a founder before the business exists.

273
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: The person who launches the podcast speaks like a creator

274
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: before the audience appears. Identity drives action, and when you

275
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: act like the person who already has what you want,

276
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: your brain starts catching up twenty twenty six won't magically

277
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: change your life, but you can. The universe doesn't respond

278
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: to wishful thinking. It responds to clear energy and consistent action.

279
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: So this year, don't just set goals, design your systems,

280
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: choose your word, align your identity, and remember intention and infrastructure.

281
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. I hope you have

282
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: an amazing twenty twenty six. I'm wishing you all the best.

283
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to on Purpose to never miss

284
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: an episode. I'll be guiding you through the year, and

285
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: remember I'm forever in your corner and always rooting for you.

286
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: If you love this episode, you'll enjoy my interview with

287
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: doctor Daniel Ahman on how to change your life by

288
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: changing your brain.

289
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: If we want a healthy mind, it actually starts with

290
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: a healthy brain. You know, I've had the blessing or

291
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: the curse to scam over a thousand convicted felons and

292
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 2: over one hundred murderers, and their brains are very damaged.
