Welcome back to the 5th episode of the Thursday Meditations Show! In this Episode, we talk about how we need to kill motivation. Don’t get me wrong, motivation is all good, but it’s not enough. If our life were a car, motivation is a spark plug. We need more than just a spark plug. We need fuel, a metal framework, and a steering wheel. I introduce the three things we need to actually get to where we want to go: 1. Discipline (Fuel) 2. Systems and Routines (Metal Framework) 3. Priority (Steering Wheel) Doing any one, or a combination of them will help you actually get the results in your life that you want. *** In the show we also talk about our new show sponsor, Audible. They are a premiere audiobook platform that offers over 180,000 different titles you can listen to from your Iphone, Android or any other device.

Take an inventory of your life to realize how disciplined (or un-disciplined) you are and in what areas. Take several days to do this and identify weak spots in your discipline. 2. After the inventory, define a clear priority. Set your goal. 3. Identify ways that you can systemitize solutions for those weakspots in your discipline. 4.
