Ep268. Unleash Yourself, Part 2: Everybody Knows What They Don’t Want—But What Do You Actually Want?

Send me a some feedback! In Part Two of Unleash Yourself, Mike shifts from playing defense to going on offense. Most people have tremendous clarity about what they don’t want and spend their lives trying to avoid negative circumstances, consequences, and feelings. Going on offense begins by getting clear about what you actually want to create, experience, and express. Mike explores the relationship between clarity, inspiration, creation, and receiving—and why having success, wealth, love, or freedom means very little if you cannot actually experience it within yourself. This episode challenges you to stop building your life around avoidance, reconnect with the vision inside you, and begin creating a life that leaves you excited to wake up and live it. Key Takeaways 1. Everybody Knows What They Don’t Want Most people have tremendous clarity about the circumstances and feelings they want to avoid, but very few have developed the same clarity about what they actually want. 2. Clarity Moves You From Survival Into Creation When you have a vision for your life, you finally have something to wake up and create instead of spending your energy trying to prevent everything you fear. 3. Inspiration Is a Different Way to Create Insecurity, inadequacy, and insignificance can keep you creating from survival, while inspiration allows you to create for the experience, expression, and expansion itself. 4. You Experience Your Life Through Your Body Having money, success, love, freedom, or accomplishment does not guarantee that you will experience those things if you have not learned how to receive and feel them within yourself. 5. Going on Offense Starts With What You Actually Want If the life you’re living no longer works for you, wipe the slate clean and get clear about the health, relationships, wealth, impact, experiences, and life you would choose if you were no longer organizing everything around what you’re trying to avoid. Notable Quotes “Everybody knows exactly what they don’t want. Everybody knows exactly what they wake up to avoid every single day. And for most people, that is their intention in life. They wake up every day to avoid the negative consequences that they don’t want to experience.” “You’re in survival mode when you’re driven by insecurity, inadequacy, insignificance, but you’re in creation mode when you’re driven by inspiration. And inspiration and clarity go hand in hand.” “When we have that vision, then it energizes us and we have something to wake up to create instead of just a whole bunch of stuff to avoid.” “If you are successful, but you don’t feel successful, you’re not really experiencing your success. If I’m managing a $350 million operation and I feel like a fraud, then I’m experiencing life as being a fraud.” “If you feel like the overall makeup of your life isn’t working for you, then let’s start getting clear about what it would look like to wake up excited every day, on fire for your life—not trying to avoid those internal conflicts, but to feel the inspiration of your life.” Take the Next Step If you’re ready to stop organizing your life around what you’re trying to avoid and get clear about what you actually want to create, experience, and become, reach out to me directly.
