WEBVTT - Make 2026 Your Best Year Yet! Step-by-Step Blueprint to Turn Your 2026 Goals Into Visible Results

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Manifestation doesn't work when you're waiting for signs instead of

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>building systems. It doesn't work if you want change but

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>refuse to change. It doesn't work when you speak the

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>affirmation but live the opposite. Manifestation doesn't work if your

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>belief expires the moment things get uncomfortable, And it doesn't

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>work when you expect the universe to do what discipline

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>is meant to do. Manifestation works when you match intention

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>with infrastructure. The number one health and wellness podcast, Jay

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Shetty Jay Sheddy. Hey everyone, it's Jay Shedy, your host

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>of On Purpose. Welcome back to the podcast. Make sure

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>you've subscribed if you haven't, it makes a big difference

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to podcasters, and it means you'll never miss an episode. Now.

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Today's episode is all about how to manifest all of

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>your dreams coming true in twenty twenty six, the masterclass

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>on turning Goals into Reality. Now, I want to be

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>honest with you. We've all started a new year with

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>big goals. This is the year I'm finally going to

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>start that business. This is the year I'm going to

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>lose the weight. This is the year I'm finally going

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>to launch that podcast. Every January, people make goals new body,

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>new job, new business, new life, new you, and by

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>February most of them are gone. But get this, only

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>one percent said they lasted for eleven or twelve months.

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Not because you don't care, but because the dreams we

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:47.919
<v Speaker 1>build are built on excitement, not systems. Real manifestation isn't

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>wishing and waiting, it's wiring. You don't attract what you want.

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>You attract what you build a system for, and that

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>requires a plan that rewires your mind, your motions, your

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>habits to match your vision. So in this episode, we're

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>not going to talk about luck. We're going to talk

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>about alignment, the psychology and strategy behind turning your vision

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>for twenty twenty six into visible results. Twenty twenty six

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>won't be your best year because you wish harder. It

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>will be your best year because you align deeper. Step

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 1>number one, end before you begin, let go of the

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>year that's still living in your head. We all love beginnings,

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>but beginnings don't work unless you properly end. You finished

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a year of school, you start the next one. You

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 1>end a relationship, you start another one. Beginnings don't work

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>unless you properly end. Most of us start a new

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>year without ever ending the last one. We rush into

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>January full of plans and resolutions, but part of us

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>is still carrying the weight of what didn't happen last year.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>The goals we missed, the relationship that ended, the business

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 1>that didn't take off, the version of ourselves we thought

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.519
<v Speaker 1>we'd be by now. And so we're technically in a

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>new year, but emotionally we're still stuck in the last one.

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>When you don't consciously end a year, it lingers. It

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>shows up in subtle ways. You hesitate to dream because

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't trust yourself to follow through. You avoid risks

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>because last time it hurt you too much. You start over,

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>but secretly believe you're already behind. That's what it means

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to have a year still living in your head. It

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>keeps whispering old stories into new seasons. Before you decide

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>what you want this year, you need to ask what

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>am I done? Carrying? Every new goal struggles to take

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>root because we haven't released what's been draining us, the resentment,

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the guilt, the habit that keeps looping. Psychologists call this

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>cognitive closure, the act of finishing, and in emotional story,

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>So your brain can focus on a new one. So

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>take a minute tonight and finish this sentence in twenty

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, I finally stopped X. You'll be amazed how

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.239
<v Speaker 1>freeing that is. You can even create a small ritual,

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>write down what you're ready to release on paper, burn it,

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>bury it, or tear it up. Say thank you for

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>what you taught me. I don't need to carry you anymore.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>That moment of symbolic closure signals to your nervous system

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>were done here. It gives your energy somewhere new to go.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Letting go of the year that's still living in your

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>head doesn't mean erasing the past. It means reclaiming your

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>capacity to begin again. You can't step fully into what's

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>next if you're still holding hands with what's over. You

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>can't start your year strong if you never ended the

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>last one. You can buy the planners, set the goals,

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>peat the affirmations, But if part of you is still

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>carrying last year's disappointments, fears or unfinished stories, you're not

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>starting fresh. You're starting crowded. Because the truth is, new

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>beginnings don't start on January first. They start the moment

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you stop dragging old energy into new opportunities. The second

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>step is choose a word, not a goal, because goals change,

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>but energy is constant. Resolutions fade because they're rigid. A

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>word gives you direction without pressure. If your goal is

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to start a business, your word might be build. If

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>your goal is to lose weight, your word might be discipline.

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>If your dream is to launch a podcast, it might

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.679
<v Speaker 1>be voice. That single word acts as a psychological anchor.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.559
<v Speaker 1>A twenty nineteen Stanford study found that people who frame

0:05:55.640 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>their goals around identity based words I am becoming focused

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>instead of tasks I will focus was sixty five percent

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.599
<v Speaker 1>more likely to stay consistent. So before setting your plan,

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>set your energy, your word becomes your compass. You can

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>then say, does this choice align with who I'm becoming

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>or with who I'm done being? I realized, though, when

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I stopped obsessing over goals and started focusing on growth,

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:29.679
<v Speaker 1>I actually reached my goals faster because growth made me better, stronger, smarter.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>When you chase goals, you measure distance. When you chase growth,

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you build momentum. Goals are external. They live on your calendar,

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>your to do list, your vision board. Growth is internal,

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>It lives in your mindset. Your habits, your character. Most

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>people focus on the finish line and forget the training.

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>They're on the promotion, the body, the launch, but they

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>skipped the process that creates it. That's why step number

0:06:55.120 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>three is create a system, not a wish Listure is

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the real secret behind success. Every dream is two parts

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>intention and infrastructure. You can't manifest a podcast without a

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>recording schedule. You can't build a business without product testing.

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>You can't get fit without consistent sleep and nutrition. James

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Clear's research shows that you don't rise to the level

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>If you want to start a business, create a thirty

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>minute daily idea lab where you brainstorm, test, and learn

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>something new about your industry. If you want to lose weight,

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 1>don't aim for perfection, aim for consistency. Start with three

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>workouts a week and track progress, not perfection. You want

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>to launch a podcast, record one five minutes solo episode

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>per week. Make it a ritual, not a result. Manifestation

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>only works when your calendar matches your calling. Manifestation doesn't

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>work when you're asking for some your habits contradict. It

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work if you only visualize the outcome but avoid

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the process. Manifestation doesn't work when you're waiting for signs

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>instead of building systems. It doesn't work if you want

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>change but refuse to change. It doesn't work when you

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>speak the affirmation but live the opposite. Manifestation doesn't work

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>if your belief expires the moment things get uncomfortable, and

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work when you expect the universe to do

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>what discipline is meant to do. It doesn't work if

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you're manifesting from fear, not faith, trying to control instead

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>of create. Manifestation works when you match intention with infrastructure.

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Step number four upgrade your environment, because discipline is easier

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.719
<v Speaker 1>when you don't fight your surroundings. If you're trying to

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>get off sugar, but every snack in your cupboard is

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>full of sugar, you're now testing yourself. If you want

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to get off sodas, but your refrigerator is full of sodas,

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you're now testing yourself. If you want to work out,

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but you haven't found the right gym that's easy to

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>get to, or the right workout plan, you're testing yourself.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>We don't fail because we don't care. We fail because

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>we're constantly testing ourselves. We're making things harder. We're making

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>it harder to feel motivated. We're making it harder to

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>stick to our boundaries. We're making it harder to stick

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to our own rules. Behavioral science shows that forty five

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>percent of our actions are habitual and triggered by environment,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>not motiv Follow this one thing and you'll reach your goal.

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>If your goal is to eat better, start with your kitchen.

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>If your goal is to focus, put away your phone.

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>If your goal is to save money, start with your

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>spending triggers. If your goal is to build confidence, start

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>with your self talk. If your goal is to find love,

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>start with your boundaries. If your goal is to grow

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>your business, start with your calendar. If your goal is

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>to heal, start with your habits. If your goal is

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to be happier, start with your attention. Because change doesn't

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>begin with a goal, it begins with your environment. You

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>don't need more willpower, you need fewer friction points. Success

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 1>isn't about trying harder, it's about designing smarter. If your

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>environment is full of noise, you'll forget what your own

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>voice sounds like. If your environment is filled with clutter,

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>your mind will mirror the mess If your environment is

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>built on carechaos, peace will always feel like a luxury.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>If your environment is full of doubt, confidence won't survive there.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>If your environment is small, your vision will start to

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>shrink to fit it. If your environment is lifeless, your

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.319
<v Speaker 1>motivation will follow. There's a reason why the phrase you

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>are a product of your environment is so well known,

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>because it's true. If you're surrounded by books, you'll read books.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>If you're surrounded by screens, you'll be distracted. That's how

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>it works, that's how the brain works. And then you're

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>forcing yourself, pushing yourself, driving yourself, and which maybe you

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>will do for three days if you're lucky, maybe three

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>weeks if you're really lucky, but you're always working against yourself.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Step number five, break the all or nothing cycle. Instead

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of asking did I fail? Ask what can I learn?

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Instead of starting over, pick up from where you left off.

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Progress is built in the messy middle, not the perfect start.

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.840
<v Speaker 1>If you can't stand to be bad at something first,

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you'll never be great at anything. If you keep editing

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>your ideas before you express them, the world will never

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>hear your voice. If you measure your worth by how

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>few mistakes you make, you'll always feel like a failure.

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>If you only celebrate the finished product, you'll miss the

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.319
<v Speaker 1>beauty of the process. If you chase flawless, you lose authentic.

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>If you chase approval, you lose momentum. Because the truth,

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>perfectionism doesn't make you better, It makes you stuck. It's

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>fear dressed up as high standards. Step number six, Use

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>emotional visualization. See it, feel it, embody it. Most people

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>visualize success like a movie, the money, the followers, the applause,

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.199
<v Speaker 1>but the brain doesn't respond to images response to emotion.

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Studies from the University of Chicago show that visualizing the process,

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.959
<v Speaker 1>not just the outcome, increases success rates by forty two percent.

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>So if you want to start that business, picture the

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>early mornings, the uncertainty, and the excitement. If you want

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>to lose weight, imagine how it feels to walk into

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the gym proud, not intimidated. If you want to launch

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>your podcast, feel what it's like to hit publish for

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>the first time. Nervous but excited emotion turns fantasy into preparation.

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Close your eyes, see it, feel it, believe it. See

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the version of you who already has what you want.

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>See them waking up calm, focused and proud. See them

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>doing the things you keep postponing. See them making the

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>hard choices easily, see them walking into rooms they once

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 1>felt unworthy of. See them speaking with clarity, creating with confidence,

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>living with purpose. Feel what it's like to be them.

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Feel the peace in their breath, Feel the strength in

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 1>their posture, Feel the ease in their decisions, Feel the

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>gratitude they wake up with before anything happens. You don't

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have to chase this version of you. You're remembering them.

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>You're returning to them. You're becoming them. One choice, one breath,

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>one act of belief at a time, because every time

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you imagine it with feeling, your brain builds evidence that

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it's real. Every time you see it clearly, your body

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>starts preparing to live it. See it until it feels familiar,

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>feel it until it feels safe, Believe it until it

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>feels inevitable. You reprogram your mind by seeing yourself doing

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the hard things and then going out and doing them.

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Step number seven. Work with resistance, not against it, because

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>fear is feedback, not failure. Every big goal triggers resistance.

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>That's not the universe blocking you. That's your nervous system

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>protecting you. Neuroscience calls this prediction error. The brain resists

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>anything unfamiliar, even if it's good for you. So instead

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of saying why do I feel scared, say of course

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I do. This is new. Then act anyway. Courage isn't

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the absence of fear. It's moving while it shakes. You

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>think successful people are not scared. The truth is they're

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>doing what they do while being scared. You think they're

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>not nervous. They're doing what they do while they're nervous.

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>You think they don't experience anxiety. They're experiencing anxiety while

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>they're doing the thing that you love watching them do.

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>That's how it works. You work with it, not against it,

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>because if you keep fighting it, it just gets stronger

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and bigger and takes over. Step number eight, build public accountability.

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Make your goals collaborative with your friends and competitive with

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the people you really love. A Harvard Business review found

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>that people who shared their goals with this supportive community.

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>That's an important word. It's not about sharing your goals

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>with everyone on the internet. A supportive community are seventy

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>six percent more likely to achieve them. Tell a friend

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>post your progress in a private group, join a challenge.

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>We don't need more private promises to ourselves, and we

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 1>don't need more public performance to others. This isn't about

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>tell everyone on Instagram, and it isn't just about live

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>with it on your own. We need shared momentum. Isolation

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>keeps you stuck. Accountability pulls you forward. So you want

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to be accountable, but to the right group of people.

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 1>If you tell too many people, too many people will

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>shut you down. Right if you say I want to

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>start a business, someone's going to say I don't think

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 1>your idea is that good. Someone else is going to say, yeah,

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>my friend tried a business. It failed. Someone else will say, yeah,

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>give it a go, see how it goes. That's not helpful.

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 1>If you're around a group of entrepreneurs, they'll ask you questions.

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll say, Okay, what's your business about? Okay, what's your plan? Okay?

0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>How are you going to find customers? That's the kind

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of community you want to be around. The problem is

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 1>we tell friends and family members who have no idea

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing, as opposed to telling people who actually

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 1>have the expertise and insight and joining those groups and

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.400
<v Speaker 1>communities are meeting people is a really, really powerful thing

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.679
<v Speaker 1>you can do for yourself. Step number nine, Use gratitude

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>as fuel, not fluff, because motivation fades, but appreciation sustains.

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Gratitude isn't just a nice feeling, it's a neurological hack.

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>When you track progress, even small wins, you release dopamine,

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the brain's reward chemical. That's why celebrating each step keeps

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:43.199
<v Speaker 1>you consistent long after excitement fades. Start your days not

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 1>with what's missing, but with what's moving. You realize you're

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>not waiting for your dream life, You're already living pieces

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of it. Because number ten is becoming the kind of

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>person your dream requires. Identity is the ultimate manifestation to

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 1>You can't create a twenty twenty six version of your

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 1>life with the twenty twenty four version of your beliefs.

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>So instead of asking what do I want, ask yourself

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 1>who am I willing to become. The person who starts

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a business acts like a founder before the business exists.

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>The person who launches the podcast speaks like a creator

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>before the audience appears. Identity drives action, and when you

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>act like the person who already has what you want,

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>your brain starts catching up twenty twenty six won't magically

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 1>change your life, but you can. The universe doesn't respond

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to wishful thinking. It responds to clear energy and consistent action.

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 1>So this year, don't just set goals, design your systems,

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 1>choose your word, align your identity, and remember intention and infrastructure.

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for listening. I hope you have

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.919
<v Speaker 1>an amazing twenty twenty six. I'm wishing you all the best.

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you subscribe to on Purpose to never miss

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 1>an episode. I'll be guiding you through the year, and

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>remember I'm forever in your corner and always rooting for you.

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.919
<v Speaker 1>If you love this episode, you'll enjoy my interview with

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>doctor Daniel Ahman on how to change your life by

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:18.200
<v Speaker 1>changing your brain.

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 2>If we want a healthy mind, it actually starts with

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 2>a healthy brain. You know, I've had the blessing or

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.399
<v Speaker 2>the curse to scam over a thousand convicted felons and

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 2>over one hundred murderers, and their brains are very damaged.
