Information changes situations and that is the quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show I'm your host Sean Crox and a

Sean Crox and dot com. We got that Monday motivation for you today with

Dr. Eric Thomas who's talking about one of my favorite topics your values.

If you are setting goals that don't match your values that don't align with

your values, you will sabotage yourself. It will not happen for you. Here's the

doc. A guy asked me about two months ago. He said,

E.T. If there's one mistake you made, what's that one mistake you made?

I saw him be honest with you. My values are not in alignment with my dreams.

He said, E.T. What do you mean by that? I said, I want to tell you a story.

I got a good friend of mine. You know, good friend of mine. He came to me and said, Eric, my marriage is not where my marriage needs to be.

I need to make some adjustments. I see you and your wife. I see how much time you spend with your wife. How much time you spend with your children.

And I just, I want that. You buy your wife roses regularly. You're always taking her out to eat.

I'm watching you. You spoil her. E.T. What can I do?

And so I told him what to do and guess what he started doing. God, he started doing the exact same thing I started doing.

And he said, Eric, it's not working. I come doing exactly what you're doing, but it's not working.

He said, why isn't it working? I said, you know why it's not working? Because your values and your dreams.

You say you want a better marriage. But I told you you need to iron your wife's clothes.

You know what he told me? After wife said, I don't be honest with you. I know you told me to iron.

You told me to wash. You told me to cook. But where I come from, you're telling me to be honest, Eric, when I do that, I feel like a punk.

And I said, that's why you're having a hard time doing it. Because your value system says a man is not supposed to iron.

A man is not supposed to cook. A man is not supposed to wash dishes. That's what your value system said.
