"I feel like I don't deserve it. Why should I get the nice house, great body, and perfect family? I just don't feel like I deserve that."

This week is quarterly planning, and this was one of my conversations with a client.

And I understood where he was coming from, because the first time my coach had me set goals, I had a similar feeling.

I didn't dream big. I set super modest 10-year goals.

When my coach pushed back, I said things like:

• "I don't really need those things…"
• "It's not that important…"
• "I'd be happy with just this…"

And yes, I could be happy with just X, Y, and Z, but that wasn't the question.

It wasn't "what's the baseline you would like to achieve?" It was, "What do you want?"

When I ask my clients, "What do you want?" the first answer they typically give me is super conservative.

They set their goals at the lowest level they think they’ll be OK with.

We are sabotaging ourselves when we do this. Our limiting beliefs are coming out, and they’re holding us back.

Because 99% of the time, the only thing standing in the way of what you actually want is YOU.

As a side note, I want to make something clear. These goals do not determine our happiness. Happiness is not a destination, it's a daily practice. It’s about being present, practicing gratitude, and finding joy in the process. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t aim high. Huge goals are exciting. They push us, challenge us, and give us direction.

We all have self-limiting beliefs. If we want to live an exceptional life, we need to recognize them and push through.

Favorite Photo from the Week:

A lot of my favorite photos have been Hucky focused lately but COME ON. How can this ski dog not be the photo of the week?

Till next year, be kind, be curious and work hard.

One thing I love about the Locker Room is how we all get to tackle these limiting beliefs together. We think we are alone and the only one's feeling these things… WRONG. We're all experiencing the same shit, and having a group of guys to brainstorm and support each other through them is HUGE. If you want to learn more, shoot me message.
