Do you believe that your ultimate life is hard?

In this episode, Kellan talks about Perseverance – starting where you are and making a habit out of never giving up until the end. We’ll be hearing about perseverance in three parts today – why it’s hard, why you should keep going, and how to “maintain firing.”

Once you’ve decided what you really want, creating your ultimate life is simple. Kellan tells us that the only time the ultimate life is hard is if you believe that it’s hard –it becomes simple (not easy) when you know the truth of who you really are, and when you take responsibility for your actions and behaviors. 

Should you keep going? Only if you understand why and you choose to do so. You shouldn’t keep going just to please someone else or because of external expectations. Kellan tells us it’s about the long-term – the sayings “fake it till you make it” and “keep going anyway, you’ll figure it out soon” are all only short-term fixes. Creating the ultimate life means doing something you love that represents who you are and what you want to be. 

Wherever you find yourself in life, you can still start building toward your ultimate life.

Key Takeaways:

• “If you believe in your heart that everything that’s wrong with your life is your fault, then creating your ultimate life is going to seem like climbing 15 Mount Everest's.”
• “The answer to the question ‘why is the ultimate life hard?’ is this: it's either hard, or it isn’t, and it depends on what you believe.”
  “If you believe it is hard, and you believe lies about yourself and your capability, then it is somewhere between hard and impossible.”
• “You should only keep going if you want it bad enough. You should not keep going to make somebody else happy or because you’re ‘supposed to.’ You should keep going because you understand why you’re doing it and you choose to.”
• “The ultimate life depends on you doing something you love; something you choose to have be a representation of your true being and true essence.”
• “It doesn’t matter where you’re starting. If you have a habit of giving up and laying down when things get tough, that’s where you’re starting; if you have a habit of pushing through some but then giving up, that’s where you’re starting; if you have a habit of persevering till the end, then you’re already well on your way to creating your ultimate life.”
• “Start with small things. You can’t do everything at once.”
• “Remember why you’re doing whatever you’re doing.”
• “Create a vision of your future state that is so powerful that it perpetually fires the drive to make it real. When you get tired and you want to give up, revisiting that vision is one way to keep going.”
• “Whatever your circumstance is, if you want to persevere, get a coach.”
