Dakota's Motivating Tips,

Where I give you advice about life and moving forward.

What is going on everybody?

I hope you're having an absolutely incredible day today and that's going wonderfully.

So in the first podcast we went over what type of things you're going to expect in the podcast and the different episodes and what my goal is for this podcast.

And for the first episode or the second episode because the first episode we went over that stuff.

So for the second episode I figured it'd be good just to start off.

Why are you dreaming this big dream or what type of I mean what is a dream?

And why do you want a dream?

Why do you want dreams is because having dreams just brings happiness.

Like when you're growing and moving forward in life,

You're a lot happier.

And if you're ever like sitting and not moving or anywhere in life,

You're just in the same routine every single day,

You're gonna get sad.

Because when you're growing,

You see you see your improvement and it just makes you happier to be able to see that you're growing in life and that you're actually going somewhere.

That is why you should want a dream.

So what is a dream?

Basically it is a striving for something higher or better.

Where like it doesn't have to be like something major like you know I want to be this amazing celebrity that has all this money and all that type of stuff.

I mean you can have you can dream that you want to be like a movie star or something like that.

And there's nothing wrong with dreaming big.

But it's also good to have those little goals and have little dreams as well.

Because the little goals bring you to your big goal.

And once you achieve it to that big goal,

You want to set more goals.

It's good to always have goals in life,

Whether it be something small or big,

Just because that that pushes you to move forward and it teaches you to strive for more to push forward more in life.

Now ask yourself,

Why do you want this dream that you're going for?

Is it a good reason or is it just because you want money?

Don't get me wrong,

There is nothing wrong with wanting money.

But get into that dream.

Money is not going to be the deciding factor to do that.

It's not going to push you to get to where you want to be.

Money you can get anywhere.

You can get it at a job you hate,

You can get it at a job you love.

But if that's your only factor as to why you want this dream that you're going for,

You're going to get burned out and you're not gonna be able to keep doing it.

You're gonna you're gonna quit and you're gonna go to something else.

So you need something better than just money.

There's nothing wrong with money because we all want money and we it's good to have money because it helps us have an easier life.

But you need a bigger dream than just that.

It can be something like I want to support a family so they don't have to worry about money.

I want to be able to give my family what they want in life and to never have them to struggle for what they want.

And I want to be able to give them what they deserve.

Family is a major thing for a lot of successful people.

How they just trying to help their family get out of this hole that they're in and they grew up in this hole so they know what it's like.

The family is an amazing reason why they should be going for this dream that you're going for.

And I'm not saying it has to be that but I'm just saying that is a really good reason why to go for something like that.

Another good thing is,

Is just because you want some freedom.

You want to be able to live your life and not work a nine to five job every single day.

You want to move forward and not have to worry about if you're gonna have enough money to pay rent,

Or whatever it may be pay the bills that you have.

You want to be able to do the things that you want to do maybe travel the world or hang out with friends and family play sports and do the things that you love to do and not have to worry about money all the time.

Because a lot of us will just go through life working a nine to five job or whatever it may be something like that.

And we don't really live life.

We're here to live in and experience it.

We don't want to just work it away every single day.

So you need to strive for something bigger and better strive for the thing that you want.

And freedom is definitely a good thing.

Time.

Time we went over that and just we did we went over that a little bit.

Time is a major thing.

Because once it's gone,

We can't get it back.

So we want to be able to live a life where we're not stuck working all the time.

So family freedom time.

Those are all amazing things to have for a reason to be able to move forward in life.

I'm not saying those are the only things but those are some good ones.

Money is not necessarily bad but it's not necessarily good either to build it be your only reason.

And you can have multiple reasons as well to be able to go for these dreams.

And you should have multiple reasons.

But don't just have just one reason,

Which is money.

And another thing is,

Is your reason fame.

If your reason is fame,

And that's the reason why you want to do what you want to do,

Whether you want to be a celebrity or whatever it is,

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a celebrity and be able to be a figure that people see every single day.

But then again,

It cannot be your only reason why.

Something that I heard a while back is you want to make your reason as personal as possible.

And the reason be if it's personal,

You're going to push forward because you know how much this means to you.

So make your reason personal,

Because it'll push you to be,

You'll keep pushing you even on the days that you want to quit.

Because there's days for everybody where when they're going for their dream,

They want to quit.

But you got to make it as personal and you got to keep moving forward because you can do this.

And you can achieve whatever it is you want to achieve.

And go for this dream.

Because you have the ability to go for it.

And you're an amazing person.

So don't ever feel like you're not.

And you have the strength to do what you want to do.

I know you can do this.

So don't ever give up.

I think that's going to be it for today.

And if you're listening to this in the morning,

Or whenever you're listening to it,

I hope you have an absolutely incredible rest of your day.

And make the most of it.

Make this day yours.

You got this.

And we'll see you on the next episode.
