EP38: What Do You Really Want?

What do you really want?

It sounds like a simple question. But for many people, it is one of the hardest questions to answer honestly.

In this episode of Born to Win, I explore why so many people become busy maintaining their lives without ever taking the time to consciously decide where they want those lives to go.

We respond to emails.Attend meetings.Pay bills.Take care of responsibilities.

None of those things are wrong. But there is a difference between maintaining your life and creating it.

My father, Bob Proctor, asked people this question for decades:

“What do you really want?”

And almost immediately, people would begin describing what they did not want.

They did not want debt.They did not want stress.They did not want to feel stuck.

But knowing what you want to avoid does not give your mind a destination.

In this episode, I explore:

• Why clarity gives your life direction• The difference between maintenance and creation• Why busy does not always mean productive• How a worthwhile goal organizes your thinking• Why desire must be stronger than fear• The difference between wishing and deciding• How a clear goal expands your awareness• Why the real purpose of a goal is who you become while pursuing it• How imagination, will, and belief work together• A simple exercise to help uncover what truly makes you feel alive
