LIAM 087 – I Want You to be Victorious!
"Victorious warriors win first, then go to war." - Sun-tzu. Victorious living starts with seeing yourself as already victorious before you actually are. A life lived in pursuit of a clear vision is a life that is not easily defeated or blown off course by circumstances. This is the life I want for you. I want you to have such a clear vision of who and what you want to be that you are willing to go through anything to get it! Listen as I explain how: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Show Outline: Question: are you tired, worn down, beaten down, just going through the motions? Waiting for the day to end and dreading waking up in the morning? I hope this is not you. If it isn't please listen anyway--you will get something you can share with someone else. If it is you, I know what what you are going through--been there, done that, have many t-shirts! I want you to know it doesn't have to be this way! I want you to be Victorious! You ask How? I'm tired, I'm worn out, beaten down, just waiting for the bell to ring. "Victorious warriors win first, then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." - Sun-tzu Reacting vs Responding, impulse vs strategy It's all about vision! Myopia: a vision condition in which close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. Greek: literally meaning "trying to see like a mole" My lack of consistent success in most areas of my life was due to lack of vision, lack of clarity about what I wanted, who I wanted to be Yes, habits determine our future, but our behavior directly models our vision of ourselves, others, the world You must visualize the life you want, the person you want to be, the impact you want to make on the world All top athletes, actors, dancers, - all saw themselves being it, long before they became it Life Plan Step 1: The genie visualization Step 2: The cloud of witnesses exercise LIAM 50: Life Plan Step 1: Start Dreaming Again! Create a personal: purpose and mission/vision statement: Purpose: to love, serve, and add value to lives of others Mission: Using the love, wisdom, abilities, and life experiences God has given me, I reach, teach, and empower people to love themselves and others, overcome challenges, think and act intentionally, set and reach goals, experience true peace and joy, and live passionately as the fullest expression of who they were created to be. Now I know how to show up in any situation: a meeting, a call, a podcast, friends, family "Victorious warriors win first, then go to war." - Sun-tzu Your endurance is directly proportional to the clarity of your vision.
