Hey my friend, I'm Colton your coach, and this is Greatness On Purpose.
Colton:
00:00:21
If you start your day like that each morning, your day will be filled with
Colton:
00:00:26
meaning and purpose right from the start.
Colton:
00:00:29
What's up PoP Fam!
Colton:
00:00:31
Today, we are talking about
Colton:
00:00:32
How to guarantee a life full of meaning, fulfillment, and impact.
Colton:
00:00:38
Let's get started!
Colton:
00:00:41
Have you ever been frustrated with where you are, what you're doing, or your lack
Colton:
00:00:46
of progress towards your goals and dreams?
Colton:
00:00:49
Do you ever lose sight of the meaning of it all or feel like giving up?
Colton:
00:00:54
Me too.
Colton:
00:00:55
I get it.
Colton:
00:00:56
But one thing I've learned over two decades of chasing optimal performance
Colton:
00:01:00
and impact-- and ultimately meaning fulfillment, happiness, and purpose--
Colton:
00:01:06
is that so much of the quality of a day is not in all the stuff you do throughout
Colton:
00:01:11
it, but in the way you start it, the way you finish it, and the way you check in
Colton:
00:01:16
and transition between all the stuff.
Colton:
00:01:19
It's the intentions and mindset you carry with you through it all.
Colton:
00:01:23
Some people say you should eat the frog first.
Colton:
00:01:27
Some people say you should enjoy dessert first.
Colton:
00:01:30
After many years coaching in the health and fitness industry, I can say
Colton:
00:01:34
with confidence that neither one is a breakfast that sets you up for success.
Colton:
00:01:39
You need to eat a hardy breakfast and make it your biggest and best meal of the day.
Colton:
00:01:44
One that gives you energy, but doesn't weigh you down.
Colton:
00:01:48
One that gives you focus, but doesn't make you crash.
Colton:
00:01:51
And when it comes to feeding your mindset and performance, a hardy breakfast
Colton:
00:01:56
means a daily routine that brings life and meaning right from the jump.
Colton:
00:02:00
That's why I teach my coaching clients to PreVMP their day.
Colton:
00:02:04
PreVMP stands for presence, vision, mission, and purpose.
Colton:
00:02:10
First, you become present in your life.
Colton:
00:02:13
Then you get clarity on your vision for where you're going.
Colton:
00:02:17
Then you remind yourself of your mission.
Colton:
00:02:20
And finally, you touch your purpose.
Colton:
00:02:24
This daily diet is the perfect way to start your day if you want energy and
Colton:
00:02:28
focus without the weight or crash.
Colton:
00:02:31
We'll talk about presence, vision, and mission in future episodes.
Colton:
00:02:35
Today, let's focus on that final piece, purpose.
Colton:
00:02:39
If you've ever had a day where it felt like what you're doing doesn't matter,
Colton:
00:02:44
like there's no meaning in your life, and like you're not doing what you want
Colton:
00:02:48
to be doing-- what you're meant to be doing-- with your life, this simple
Colton:
00:02:54
morning practice will change everything.
Colton:
00:02:57
Every single morning, take at least 10 minutes to touch your purpose.
Colton:
00:03:04
To touch your purpose, do something that makes you come alive.
Colton:
00:03:11
This doesn't mean knowing exactly what your purpose is.
Colton:
00:03:15
It means seeking something meaningful.
Colton:
00:03:18
Something you are passionate about.
Colton:
00:03:22
Something you love.
Colton:
00:03:23
If you're not sure what that is, take that 10 minutes on the first morning
Colton:
00:03:28
to journal about anything that you are passionate about, anything that
Colton:
00:03:33
you would like to change in the world, anything you love doing, and anything
Colton:
00:03:39
you'd like to learn more about.
Colton:
00:03:41
Then pick the one that you feel the most in your gut when you read it.
Colton:
00:03:47
That's the place to start.
Colton:
00:03:49
Now this 10 minutes is not for monotonous tasks or necessary projects, so I won't
Colton:
00:03:55
use those 10 minutes for scheduling social media posts or working on
Colton:
00:03:58
landing page design-- although landing page design might be your passion.
Colton:
00:04:03
This 10 minutes is specifically for touching a spark that lights
Colton:
00:04:08
you up with life each morning.
Colton:
00:04:11
Doing something you love and that matters to you.
Colton:
00:04:15
If you start your day like that each morning, your day will be filled with
Colton:
00:04:19
meaning and purpose right from the start.
Colton:
00:04:22
If you want a life full of meaning, fulfillment, and impact,
Colton:
00:04:27
guarantee it right from the start by starting with what matters.
Colton:
00:04:32
Every single morning, make 10 minutes to touch your purpose and come alive.
Colton:
00:04:39
No matter what else happens that day, it will already be won.
Colton:
00:04:43
Even if you have to spend 10 less minutes on social media or watching your
Colton:
00:04:47
favorite show at night, so you can wake up a little earlier, what could be more
Colton:
00:04:52
fulfilling than pursuing your purpose?
Colton:
00:04:55
Even if you have to skip your morning coffee, what could
Colton:
00:04:59
bring more life and energy than doing what you were made to do?
Colton:
00:05:03
Even if you have to go a little faster somewhere else, what could improve
Colton:
00:05:08
your performance more than knowing that what you're doing truly matters.
