So many great people live lives absent of greatness because they live by default and not by design. - Lewis Howes

Once I have chosen my top three goals for each of the Three Players, I ask myself three crucial questions: What do I want? Answering this question forces me to bring clarity to my vision and the end I have in mind. Why do I want it? Answering this question helps me reconnect to my Meaningful Mission and tap into my deep motivation to take action. Sometimes when I ask this question, I struggle to answer, which may indicate I need to ask myself another question: Do I really want it? What’s the next step? Answering this question causes me to focus on the next practical move I need to take to move forward. I don’t have to know what I will do six months from now, only what I need to do next to keep moving forward.

Life is just too short to waste any of our emotional energy on things that don’t matter.

Maybe you’ve had one of those moments when you realized the awful truth: you’re just trying to survive, running out the clock, hoping someday something magical will happen that changes everything for you.
