TMHS 299: The Comfort Zone Myth & Motivation Through Empathy - With Guest Drew Manning

Published: July 25, 2018, 2:14 a.m.

No matter what your goal is, a clearly defined purpose is key to success. If you haven\u2019t outlined why you\u2019re working toward change, you\u2019ll quickly become unmotivated and give up.

But it\u2019s not enough to simply have a motive. In order to create lasting change, your why should have meaning behind it. Your why should give you a purpose, bring you fulfillment, and inspire you on days when motivation is lacking.

Once you define your why, everything becomes much clearer. Whether we\u2019re talking about fitness, money, or life in general, a fulfilling purpose is a catalyst for change.

On today\u2019s show, my friend Drew Manning is back to share the lessons he\u2019s learned about discovering a meaningful purpose, practicing gratitude, and developing a stronger sense of empathy. We\u2019ll talk about the dangers of staying in your comfort zone, the importance of learning self-love, and how to find strength in vulnerability.
