“We have no idea the impact we can have on other people’s lives when we start taking care of our own lives.”
Have you ever reached the top and then asked yourself, “Is this it?”
You chase a dream, focus on the process day after day, and when it finally comes to life you are filled with nothing but emptiness? Even if it’s as something as big as making it to the NFL?
The road to living the life of your dreams is bound to come with adversity. Actually, it’s a prerequisite. And, for some, it may be massive.
But rest assured, at the end of the day what we are looking for is not success. It’s fulfillment. Contrary to popular belief all the research shows that success does not equal fulfillment. See, we don’t chase things so we can actually achieve them. We chase them because of the feeling we’ll experience when they manifest. But, when you really get objective, aren’t those feelings fleeting? That raise? That new client? That new car? How long does that feeling actually last? But, when our purpose can be growth we can find fulfillment in each day.
What did I learn?
What progress did I make?
Who did I become today?
“When I’m sitting on my rocking chair taking my last few breaths I’m not going to be thinking about the routes I ran. I’m going to be thinking about how I made other people feel.” — GRANT MATTOS
On today’s show, we dive deep into this topic with Grant Mattos. We chat about his journey of achieving a childhood dream of playing in the NFL to now teaching yoga and meditation across North America, the lessons of peak performance he learned on his journey, and a performance principle derived from yoga that Kobe Bryant embodied and how we can apply it to our own lives.
