00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,120
It's Faith Family Fitness with your host, Full Armor Sports and National Champion Coach

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,280
Jason Lupo.

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,400
Welcome back to another episode of Faith Family Fitness on 100.7 The Word.

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,880
Today's topic is going to be on motivation.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,280
We're going to talk about motivation, we're going to talk about desires, and we're going

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:39,040
to talk about the hard questions when it comes to motivations, desires.

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,940
What is motivation?

10
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:44,640
What is, what are our desires?

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,360
And how does that relate back to our walk with Christ, to our exercise and fitness journey?

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:57,020
How does that relate back to you and your family and parenting and your children?

13
00:00:57,020 --> 00:01:03,060
So this idea of motivation is so critical because it's a driving force, it's a driving

14
00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:11,080
factor in our decisions that we make every single day, every single week.

15
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:18,600
And you know, typically I don't necessarily have a plan, you know, laid out for the next

16
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,000
three, four months on this show.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,720
I use life experience, see what's going on with my athletes because there's always the

18
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,480
question of if I have this problem, somebody else has this problem.

19
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,100
And so let's deep dive into it, let's find out, let's find some solutions and let's talk

20
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:41,840
about what it truly means to be motivated, have desires, the difference between extrinsic

21
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,680
and intrinsic motivation.

22
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:52,840
All of this stuff is crucial in understanding how the psychology of our brain works in conjunction

23
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,840
with what we do.

24
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,100
And so we're going to take a brief time out when we come back, we are going to talk about

25
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:04,680
motivation and desires.

26
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,320

40
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Welcome back to Faith Family Fitness on 100.7 The Word.

41
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,920
Today we are talking about motivation and desires.

42
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:18,240
And so first we have to define motivation.

43
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:26,280
And motivation is the desire to act in service of a goal.

44
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:35,000
And that word desire is a strong wish or want for something.

45
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:45,320
So motivation can then be described as a desire, that strong will or want to act in service

46
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,120
of a goal.

47
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:54,080
And we can break down motivation even further and we can break it down into intrinsic motivation

48
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760
and extrinsic motivation.

49
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:03,240
And we can break down intrinsic motivation even further because we can talk about autonomy,

50
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,440
which means that we are more likely to engage with activities that we have chosen to do.

51
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:14,440
So this idea of freedom to choose becomes a motivating factor.

52
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,960
Mastery because we are intrinsically motivated to get better and better at things that matter

53
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,960
to us.

54
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:29,800
We want to become experts at our task, at our skill, at our sport, at our job.

55
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,480
And then purpose.

56
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:38,540
We are motivated when our actions are in service of something larger than ourselves.

57
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:46,440
And so this last weekend we had the El Paso County GOP reorganizational meeting and we

58
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,840
elected officers for every House district, Senate district, county commissioner district

59
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,840
and the county as a whole within the GOP party.

60
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:03,480
And what we saw, if you look at it from an outsider perspective, you see this intrinsic

61
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:12,000
motivation of this purpose, this deep desire to act in service of something bigger or greater

62
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,920
than ourselves.

63
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:21,280
But intrinsic motivation, this idea of we are providing the motivation either because

64
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:28,920
we want to get better, we want to serve a larger purpose or we want to engage in activities

65
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,020
that we want to do.

66
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:37,400
That is the whole basis of this idea of motivation.

67
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,560
And then we have this extrinsic motivational source, which is, you know, somebody else

68
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,440
attempting to provide motivation, be it positive or negative feedback.

69
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,800
Right?

70
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,440
And so this idea of extrinsic motivation, our kids are going to behave or act in accordance

71
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:06,720
to how you want them to act because their motivation is the disappointment or the punishment

72
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,720
that comes when they don't do what they're supposed to do.

73
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:19,880
And we know that this idea of punishment or this negative feedback is not always the best

74
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,400
long term solution for motivation.

75
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,720
And I think all coaches, all parents fall into this trap or, you know, we get tired,

76
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:36,440
we get frustrated and we start yelling or we try to use punishment as a tool for motivation.

77
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:43,840
But it's also hard because kids sometimes they struggle to find that deep desire for

78
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:49,280
something, that deep desire to say, yes, this is what I want to do and I want to do it really

79
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,880
well to the best of my ability.

80
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,100
And because of that, I'm going to give my all, all in.

81
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:02,040
And that's a struggle for some teenagers to really figure out.

82
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,640
They don't know what they want to do in life.

83
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,840
They don't know really what they want to do in their sport.

84
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:14,960
And even adults, even this new generation of 20 to 25 year olds that we're seeing, there's

85
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,960
a lot of the same thing.

86
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:24,320
But on the flip side, we see a lot of this woke culture in these colleges that have ingrained

87
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:35,840
and driven this intrinsic motivation of purpose, that actions are in service of something greater

88
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,480
or larger.

89
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840
And the left is doing it really well.

90
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:48,280
And this woke culture frame of mind trying to change our communities, trying to change

91
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,760
our family beliefs.

92
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:59,480
We're figuring it out and we are losing this battle because we have not ingrained this

93
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:06,160
sense that we need to act in service of something larger, this idea of something larger than

94
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:17,120
ourselves that is combating the will of the left to change culture, to change and drive

95
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:25,440
this adoption of this new way of thinking, that all of these sins that we know deep in

96
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,880
our heart are wrong.

97
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:37,200
This new culture has this driven sense of purpose to try to convince the world that

98
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,880
it's right.

99
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:51,920
So we can't give up not trying to create a desire of some sort in our athletes, in our

100
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,560
youth of today.

101
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,840
We have to get them passionate and we have to get them passionate about Christ.

102
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,960
We have to get them passionate about the values and espoused values and the freedoms of this

103
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:11,600
country or we are going to continue to lose the war here on earth.

104
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:21,600
Now I think strongly that when you are trying to teach somebody or explain to somebody the

105
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,880
desire of the heart, we have to be able to relate it back to the desires that we have

106
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:34,240
here on earth in human form to then go, that is the same passion.

107
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:40,260
But we want even more passion, more desire for Christ.

108
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:45,600
And I think that's why Paul has used so many sports references over and over and over in

109
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:55,160
the Bible because sports is a wonderful way to relate back to this war, this battle that

110
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:01,280
we have to go on when it comes to fighting for Christ.

111
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Frudging that race, the race marked out on us with all the hurdles and the obstacles

112
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,280
that are going to be in the way.

113
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,960
It's so easy to quit.

114
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,480
And the only thing that stops us from quitting is this deep desire, this deep passion, this

115
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:26,600
deep love for Christ, for the mission that he's set out for us.

116
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,600
And so when we talk about motivation, when we talk about desire, I don't have all the

117
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,600
answers.

118
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,400
I know that.

119
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:42,440
I know that intrinsic motivation beats extrinsic motivation every day of the week.

120
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Promising your kids, promising your athletes money for best times or whatever it is.

121
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,700
Or, you know, if you make the next level, I'll get you the iPhone or hey, if you know,

122
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:59,980
you can hit a home run in this game, then I'll take you out for ice cream.

123
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:03,880
That is extrinsic motivation.

124
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,360
It is not passionate.

125
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,480
It is not a deep desire of the heart.

126
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,260
It has to be intrinsic.

127
00:11:11,260 --> 00:11:15,240
And the same goes for our walk with Christ.

128
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:23,360
If our walk with Christ is completely 100% based on this negative feedback loop of, well,

129
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,120
if I don't follow Christ and I'm going to hell, that is not a deep desire.

130
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,120
That's not a deep passion.

131
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,120
That's not a deep motivation.

132
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,640
That's not a driving force for Christ.

133
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,720
That is an avoidance motivation.

134
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,400
Our relationship with Christ has to be that of a relationship.

135
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,480
It's not this negative feedback of, well, I can't do that because that's a sin, so I'm

136
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,240
not going to do that.

137
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:57,900
It has to be from a point of, I have such a desire for Christ that I'm not going to

138
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,400
touch that sin.

139
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:06,880
Not because of whatever negative ideas we have floating through our head from our church

140
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:16,680
experience, but because we have such a passion, such a love for Christ that we choose to walk

141
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,660
a different path.

142
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:23,880
So when it comes to your fitness journeys, when it comes to your athletes, whether it

143
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:30,880
be you or your kids, I've always said that I don't love goal setting.

144
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,360
I've always said I don't like the process of goal setting.

145
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,080
I don't, I don't love goal setting.

146
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:43,680
And for a long time, I don't think I realized why I didn't like goal setting so much.

147
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:50,440
And I know that this is a negative, not so accepted viewpoint.

148
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:58,200
I don't think you hear many trainers or coaches or whatever saying goal setting is not useful

149
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,920
or beneficial, but that's the way that I believed for a long time.

150
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,120
And I think I finally have figured out why.

151
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:15,200
We take the time, we hand out goal setting sheets, we do the keep it simple, we do the

152
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,660
whole have a time for your goal and all this other stuff, but it's not about the goal.

153
00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:23,040
It's about the motivation.

154
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,620
It's about the desire behind that goal.

155
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:32,160
And so I think what we need to transition to is this idea of asking the question, why

156
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,840
do you play this sport?

157
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,320
Why do you do what you do?

158
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,920
Why are you trying to become better at whatever it is?

159
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280
Even if it's a hobby, right?

160
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,280
I love to bowl.

161
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,800
I bowl on a Sunday league late at night.

162
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,240
I love to bowl.

163
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,400
My motivation is it's one of the few activities that I can do that fits in my schedule that

164
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,040
I enjoy the people that I hang out with and I enjoy the competition and I enjoy the fact

165
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:08,760
that the little bit of detail matters in that sport.

166
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,760
What is my purpose?

167
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,360
I don't have any will or want to be the best in the world.

168
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,360
I want to improve my own game.

169
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,240
And some of you out there are golfers.

170
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,840
It's kind of the same.

171
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,240
We love the experience of golf.

172
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,800
And yes, we want to get better because we don't want to be embarrassed on the course.

173
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,240
I've always said my golf game has moments of greatness greatly overshadowed by the not

174
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,360
so moments of greatness.

175
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,280
And that rings true.

176
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:39,360
And so we have to ask our athletes, we have to ask our people that walk in the door wanting

177
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:47,160
to start a fitness routine, not about the goal, but why are you here?

178
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,440
Why have you chosen to do this?

179
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,300
Why have you chosen to get healthier?

180
00:14:52,300 --> 00:15:01,320
What is this deep desire, this deep passion that has brought you in today?

181
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,120
That's the question that we have to ask.

182
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,520
And then we can say, okay, you have this deep desire.

183
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,200
You have this deep passion to obtain something.

184
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,560
Then we can go into what is that something?

185
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,720
And then more importantly than trying to continue to define and shape a goal, we have to get

186
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,880
into the process.

187
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,420
What is the process of getting to that goal?

188
00:15:26,420 --> 00:15:31,040
And then we have to get buy in.

189
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,880
We have to get buy in from our athletes, from that individual, that this is what it's going

190
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,840
to take to achieve that goal.

191
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:45,040
Because if you don't have buy in, then eventually we're going to have to rely on external motivating

192
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,040
factors to motivate that athlete.

193
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,360
And that is not going to work in the long run.

194
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,160
And if we continue to try to use extrinsic motivating factors to motivate our athletes,

195
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:08,920
to motivate our youth, to motivate the people of this country to drive towards a goal, it's

196
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,920
not going to be long term.

197
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,640
It's not going to be sustainable and it's not going to see the results that we're looking

198
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,560
to obtain.

199
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:24,880
So how do we get this deep desire, this deep passion for a purpose, for something larger

200
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,480
than ourselves?

201
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,880
And how do we get people to buy in to that purpose?

202
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,160
Because it seems like once again, the left has figured this out.

203
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,840
The left has figured this out.

204
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,480
We have diversity, equity, inclusion.

205
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,840
We have all of these new drives in our public school system, even in our charter school

206
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:55,760
system to bring in this idea of white privilege, of DEI, of all of these things that all these

207
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:03,960
people have had this deep desire, this deep purpose, this intrinsically motivating purpose

208
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,040
to stand by, to back, to fight for these things.

209
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:13,560
How do we get that on the opposing side is a magic question.

210
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,780
And the answer is, I don't know.

211
00:17:15,780 --> 00:17:18,160
The answer is, I don't know.

212
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,600
But I think that it starts at home.

213
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,240
I think that it starts with today's youth.

214
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:30,640
I think that it starts with them not being told what that purpose is, because we know

215
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:37,760
that that DEI stuff is being pushed left and right in an almost brainwashing fashion in

216
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:44,020
our school system to drive our kids to want to fight for that particular purpose.

217
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:50,220
And so we have to almost untrain that and train up the other way.

218
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:58,920
We have to try to really teach our kids why it is so important that we maintain our freedoms

219
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:06,520
in this country, that we have this deep relationship with Christ, that we have this deep relationship

220
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:14,080
with the people around us that we are going to serve with, not above, but with in this

221
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,240
fight.

222
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:22,040
This deep desire to be around people with a common goal, with a common theme, with a

223
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,440
common purpose.

224
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,640
That's what we have to do.

225
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,560
And we haven't done enough of it.

226
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:36,240
We haven't done enough driving the purpose and this ideas and this fundamental espoused

227
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,680
values that we keep talking about on this show.

228
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:48,360
These Christian values to our children, to the people around us, and allowing them to

229
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:54,160
create this motivation, this desire, this purpose that is so much greater than them

230
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,040
and that becomes the motivating factor.

231
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,840
We're going to take a brief timeout when we come back.

232
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,240
We are going to continue talking about motivation and desires.

233
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:09,320
Thanks for listening to Faith Family Fitness, a presentation of full armor sports teams.

234
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,520
Work is at the core of any successful organization.

235
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:17,840
At full armor sports, led by national champion coach Jason Lupo, a Christ centered approach

236
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,640
to sports fundamentals and fitness has earned his company the respect of athletes and their

237
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,780
parents.

238
00:19:24,780 --> 00:19:29,600
Full armor sports is committed to helping youth in our community experience growth through

239
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,360
sports and to strive for improvement and excellence.

240
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:39,360
Further, youth compete as individuals coming together with a sense of teamwork, camaraderie,

241
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,120
and support for one another.

242
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:47,840
At full armor sports, the reality is achievements, failures, wins and losses eventually fade

243
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,840
away.

244
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:55,520
But the bonds team members form through competition evolve into relationships lasting forever.

This is Faith Family Fitness on 100.7 The Word.

247
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,960
We've been talking today about motivation.

248
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:12,880
So we've been talking about desires, about the importance to be motivated from within

249
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,320
this deep desire, this passion, that that's what we need to create behavior change, whether

250
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:27,000
it be sticking to a new exercise program or whether it be trying to improve our sport

251
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,720
or our hobby or our job or this deep desire, this motivation for something greater than

252
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:42,820
we are, whether that's fighting for this country, for our future generations to fix the issues,

253
00:20:42,820 --> 00:20:49,200
to fight against the DEI and the other stuff that's being taught in our schools.

254
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:55,000
We need more of that fiery passion, that motivation, but it does come with a warning.

255
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,400
It does come with a warning.

256
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,480
Mark 10 43, yet it shall be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among

257
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:10,960
you shall be your servant and whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.

258
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,280
It comes with a warning.

259
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:19,860
There's a warning label on desire because we do have to desire our relationship with

260
00:21:19,860 --> 00:21:28,440
Christ and that has to be first and foremost in all of our fights and all of our battles.

261
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:37,760
And so to recap today, if we want to truly change our country, if we want to truly have

262
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:45,480
a deep desire to have a relationship with Christ, we learn some of those desires from

263
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:52,600
our passions that come from our sports, that come from our hobbies and our jobs and whatever

264
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,920
we have a passion for.

265
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:04,400
We have to teach youth of this culture, of this society that we have now, what it means

266
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:12,320
to truly desire and truly chase something, to truly chase that goal that they might have

267
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:18,040
in their sport and then relate it back to that desire, that burning passion for our

268
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,960
relationship with Christ.

269
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,720
And that means that we as coaches, as leaders, as bosses, even in our jobs, if we have younger

270
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:34,160
employees, we have to stray away from this extrinsic motivating factor.

271
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:40,320
If you're an employer, that extrinsic motivating factor is a paycheck and really come back

272
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:51,520
around and teach this idea of this social economic drive in a business that we are doing

273
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,760
this for the social purpose to better our society, to better our community.

274
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,540
That's just one example.

275
00:22:58,540 --> 00:23:03,400
So we've talked about that and we've talked about goal setting and how if we put goal

276
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,760
setting first without first talking about the passion and the desire, we will lose track

277
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,020
of the goal.

278
00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:11,240
The goal doesn't have meaning.

279
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,520
We need meaning behind the goals that we set.

280
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,020
And then we have to have the buy-in.

281
00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:24,980
We have to have the buy-in of what it takes to make those goals a reality, to chase those

282
00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:30,000
goals and those desires.

283
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,280
And so for all of you that are out there on the front lines still fighting some of this,

284
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,520
this stuff that's coming out in the legislature and we're seeing these losses and we're seeing

285
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,960
the fact that we are not having wins up at the Capitol, that bills that should be passed

286
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,920
that are common sense are being shot down before they even leave committee to be voted

287
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,920
on.

288
00:23:52,920 --> 00:24:00,040
And it is sometimes very hard and depressing to watch that happen.

289
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:07,960
So remember that the purpose is what motivates us, this larger sense of trying to make and

290
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,900
keep this country great is what drives us.

291
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:19,080
And so for everybody that's out on the front range or front lines fighting for this freedom,

292
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,680
I know you're listening.

293
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:27,460
Keep strong, stay strong and keep motivated to get the job done.

294
00:24:27,460 --> 00:24:31,400
