#181: Why You’re Not Achieving Your Goals (It’s Not What You Think)

Habits & Goals, Life Purpose, Rock Your Purpose Podcast

Welcome back to the Rock Your Purpose Podcast! This episode marks a new chapter for us as we introduce our rebrand: The Purpose Habit™. I’m your host, Emily Perry, founder of The Purpose Habit™, and I’m excited to dive into today’s discussion about claiming your dreams and embracing your purpose.

A Fresh Start

We’re thrilled to kick off this new season with a fresh perspective on living a life full of purpose. In future episodes, I’ll share more details about The Purpose Habit and what it means for you. For now, let’s focus on the core of today’s conversation: the power of dreaming big and stepping into your true purpose.

Claiming Your Dream

Life can sometimes force us to put our dreams on hold. Whether you’re a parent, caretaker, or simply navigating through life’s challenges, it’s easy to lose sight of your vision. But remember, it’s okay to want more. It’s okay to dream of something bigger, more peaceful, or more expansive.

Many of us find ourselves feeling stuck or unfulfilled, maybe even at rock bottom. These moments of change, whether internal growth or external shifts, can feel daunting. But I’m here to tell you that it’s perfectly okay to seek something different. Wanting more doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for what you have; it means you’re ready to grow.

Overcoming Barriers

Women, in particular, face societal pressures that discourage us from seeking more. We’ve been sold the false narrative that desiring more means we’re not appreciative. This couldn’t be further from the truth. We can honor our past and be grateful for our present while still aspiring for more.

We’ve discussed before on the show how inner barriers, like those mentioned in Gay Hendricks’ “The Big Leap,” hold us back from expanding. These barriers often stem from fears of outshining others, biting off more than we can chew, or facing increased burdens with success. But it’s essential to push past these limitations.

Embracing Your Purpose

Tony Robbins says, “A goal is a dream with a deadline.” To set goals that ignite passion and drive, we must have dreams that align with our purpose. These dreams, or what I call purpose habit goals, are the fuel that propels us forward. They are the “big yes” that resonates deeply with our hearts.

This episode is your permission slip to dream. At The Purpose Habit, we have a special upcoming program designed to help you clear inner obstacles and step confidently into your dreams. Stay tuned for more details.
