Today, we're diving into the transformative power of turning "priorities" into "non-negotiables." Many of us end our weeks feeling like we've fallen short, beating ourselves up for tasks left undone. We're familiar with setting priorities, yet still find ourselves not sticking to them, which leads to a cycle of frustration. But what if we treated these priorities not as options but as non-negotiable must-dos?
In this episode, I'll share my own struggle with not using my planner effectively and how I decided to stop the cycle of self-blame. I'll invite you to discover—and possibly redefine—your non-negotiables. We'll explore how this firm commitment can steer you away from the child-like mentality of "I don't wanna," and propel you towards crushing your goals.
We'll sip on today's clarity cocktail—an inspiring quote by Earl Nightingale that reminds us not to let the fear of time needed to achieve something stand in your way. Remember, time is going to pass no matter what; it's up to us to use it wisely.
Get ready to stand firm in your commitments and drastically alter the trajectory of your week, month, and year. Grab a red marker, jot down your non-negotiables, and join me as we pivot towards a passionate and purpose-driven life. Share this episode with a friend who could use that extra push, and let's get started!

CLARITY COCKTAIL QUOTE
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. ~Earl Nightingale
