Ep #64 The essential vs the non essential

👉Listen To The Episode Here👈

How do you distinguish between the essential and the non-essential?


It’s so easy to get distracted by things that seem important but that actually take you away from what matters.


Doing the essential means you’re cutting out everything that does not contribute to the life and business you want for yourself.


It means saying no now, so that you can experience what you truly desire in the future.


And this is uncomfortable. 


In order to know what is essential and what isn’t, you must have a clear vision of what you want.


A clear vision of what you want to create.


Once the goal is clear. The path to the goal becomes visible.


To ensure you are focusing on what is essential to achieving your goal is as simple as regularly questioning whether you are doing the things that will make achieving that goal inevitable.


Which includes intentionally delaying gratification.


So, check in with yourself.


What is essential to achieving your goal?


What is essential to making this result a reality?


You might convince yourself that something is essential when in fact it isn’t. So be honest.


Remember, we don’t go to the gym expecting to find a bed with soft pillows so we can sleep for 45 minutes.


We go to the gym and we expect that there will be heavy weights.


We expect that we are going to sweat.


We expect that in order for us to get to the goal of the body and health we want…that we are going to have to go through some pain to get there!


The same is true for anything meaningful you want to create in your life.


Doing only what’s essential will always come with discomfort.


When we know what we want to create for ourselves, we must be willing to feel the emotions associated with delaying gratification in the moment. 


We must know what is essential to creating the outcome. So that we can remove the fluff and do things on purpose. 


This is your invitation.


Get clear on what you want.


Do only what is essential to achieving it.


Have a happy week!
