This is a YouTube video titled "This Unconscious Restraint Is Holding You Back From Achieving Your Goals" containing a motivational talk recorded on May 7, 2020. The speaker discusses three key areas—mindset, motivation, and method—that influence goal achievement, explaining common misconceptions and emphasizing the importance of purpose and methodology in addition to mindset.
If you're not achieving or making progress towards your goal, usually there's a constraint and it's usually unconscious, a constraint in one of these three areas or more. So I want everyone to think about the first circle. The first M is the M of mindset. Now I define mindset as these assumptions and attitudes we have about the world and ourselves. So what would fall under mindset is what you believe you deserve. what you believe you are capable of, what you believe is possible, right? Now, you could have that positive mindset, this growth mindset that you hear Dr. Carol Dweck talk about, right? Versus a fixed mindset. Now, that alone is not gonna get you your goals and your dreams, just having an empowering mindset. You need the second M, and the second M is motivation. Now, when I say the word motivation, it's a little bit loaded. Because some people believe motivation is they associate it to being hyped up, getting excited for a couple of minutes, you know, while they're at that seminar jumping to music, right? Yeah. And it's kind of like that metaphor of a warm bath. It's nice in the moment and yes, I'm going to, I'm going to journal every day, I'm going to do Pilates three times a week, I'm going to eat the best food ever. And in the moment, you feel like that's the case, But then it cools down. I'm not defining motivation like that. For me, motivation is having a purpose. And I'm not talking about a life purpose. I'm talking about having a reason. And then the third circle on here, once you have the mindset and the motivation, are you getting the result? Not necessarily. What's the one thing that's missing? The third M, which is the method, right? The methodology. You need to know how to do it.
