Summary

Consider that the fastest way to improve any aspect of your life is to find someone who has already succeeded in that area and then model that person.

With that in mind, which area(s) of your life do you want to improve, and whom are you modeling to accelerate your improvement?

That’s what today’s episode is all about. You’ll learn why figuring out everything on your own is a long and unnecessary road to success. I’ll break down how you can draw from the experiences of others and skip the trial-and-error phase as a shortcut to self-improvement.

I’ll also explain why I’ve been studying and modeling Jesus Christ (in a non-religious way) to hold myself to a higher moral standard. Even if you don’t consider yourself religious or spiritual, I hope you’ll stick with me as I continue sharing my journey of learning from others to help us all become better leaders, spread love, and stand for unity in an ever-increasing world of divisiveness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

How attending my longtime friend’s funeral inspired me to model his spirit
Why following in someone’s footsteps is the quickest path to success
Questions to consider whom you’re modeling right now
Why books are like having mentors on demand
You can plan all you want, but if you’re not putting it into practice and living what you learn, it’s just potential that’s going nowhere.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Achieve Your Goals podcast the show that empowers you to wake up to your full
0:06.7	potential and achieve your biggest goals and dreams. I am your host Hal Elrod and I invite you to join
0:12.4	us each week as we share actionable strategies to take your life to the next level, as well as interview world-class experts and entrepreneurs who have achieved extraordinary goals themselves, and we ask them to give you a
0:24.0	peek behind the curtain and teach you exactly what you need to do to do the same.
0:28.0	Ready, here we go. Hello, us Hal Elrod and today we are talking about the fastest way to improve any area of your life and
0:46.2	I'm going to tell you right up front what this is about what you can expect in this podcast and then it is about
0:52.1	modeling the fastest way to improve any area of your life is to find someone who has already achieved success in that area and then to model those people. And I'm going to share with you two stories
1:05.3	right now of how I'm modeling my friend John Rulin who just passed away about a week
1:10.4	ago and I'm modeling Jesus Christ in a non-religious way. So you'll see I
1:16.7	touched on it a little bit last week but I wanted to unpack it more this week.
1:21.1	If you're interested in those stories and the lessons, the journey that I've been on and how I learned at John Rulins Memorial Service, his celebration of life, how I realize that his spirit is within me and it's within all of us.
1:36.1	We can harness the spirit of anyone, whether they are alive or they've passed, to improve our lives.
1:44.0	That's one way to model people.
1:45.7	John Rulin was arguably the best in the world
1:48.4	at relationships.
1:49.9	His purpose in life was to love on other people and to inspire other people to continue to love on their people.
1:58.0	Radical generosity was one of his themes. His book was called Giftology about how to give people gifts that enhance their life in
2:06.5	meaningful impactful lasting ways. So during the service and over the last week since John has passed through a lot of
2:13.3	reflection I have come to the conclusion that I am going to be a better person
2:17.6	because of who John Rulin was when he was here on earth and his spirit is and will remain forever in the hearts and minds
2:27.5	of all of us who knew him and who are going to embody his spirit so that we can be more like John.
2:36.0	And the second person I'm sharing today is how I've been and why I've been studying Jesus Christ, even though I don't consider myself to be religious
