382: How to Make EVERY Moment the BEST Moment of Your Life
Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
If I were to ask you to recall the best moment of your life, what comes to mind…? I think most people would recall a significant event or occasion, such as the birth of a child, their wedding day, running a marathon, or the day that they got to ______ (fill in the blank with some exceptional experience). For most, the best moment would likely be an event or circumstance and the positive emotions they experienced as a result, which prompts them to identify it as their best moment. But what if the best moment of your life wasn’t measured by external circumstances? What if it was something...

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
Have you ever taken the time to examine your identity and how it’s impacted your life? For most of us, that’s not something we ever even think of doing. Our identity kind of runs in the background, and yet it impacts everything we do. Every day we show up and live our lives based on who we believe we are and how we perceive ourselves—and these beliefs can either help us or hurt us. In essence, what we believe about ourselves—good OR bad—is what we become. Today, we’re going to bring our unexamined identities to the surface and I’m going to share actionable steps you can...

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
Today we’re answering the following questions, together: Do goals still matter, or should we just focus on being in the moment and enjoying our lives? Or can we do both?

374: How Can We Experience Heaven on Earth?
Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod
Okay, so I’m going to start by warning you that today’s podcast episode (and this email) might be a little more “woo-woo” than you’re used to from me. :^) I recorded today’s episode a few days ago, directly after I experienced one of the best Miracle Mornings of my life. I went deeper into meditation than I usually do, opening myself up to a message I felt I needed to receive, and got back something more direct, specific, and experiential than I expected. I felt like I was given the secret to accessing heaven on earth. And after I finished my meditation, I went out and lived...

info_outlineToday we’re answering the following questions, together:
- Do goals still matter, or should we just focus on being in the moment and enjoying our lives?
- Or can we do both?
- And if goals do matter, is there any part of the process of achieving a goal that is more important for us to focus on than the goal itself?
- And if there is a part of the process of achieving our goals that deserves more of our focus, what is that and how can we harness it to achieve and experience everything we want in life?
I’ve recently overcome some struggles when it comes to setting and achieving goals, and in this episode, I’m asking questions as I explore and share how my perspective and practice has changed over time.
You’ll learn some of the pros and cons of goal setting, how to identify the real purpose of your goals (and why it’s rarely about successfully achieving them), and some simple steps on how to effectively set goals and establish effective behaviors.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- How goal setting can stop you from being present.
- Why we often falsely believe that achieving our goals means that we’ve succeeded - and why our feeling of satisfaction after achieving a goal can ring so hollow.
- Why moving in the direction of a goal matters more than hitting a target or achieving a specific outcome.
- The process I learned at 19 to set and achieve goals - and how accountability helped me pursue sales records, write books, and grow every business I’ve ever aspired to build.
