Summary

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the post I made on the morning of the US Election last week, long before the results were known. That post was about finding a positive way to move forward, no matter who won.

Not surprisingly, it generated many comments and reactions, some positive and some negative, which is to be expected with any presidential election—especially this one.

Now that the election is over, and whether you are celebrating or mourning the results, I want to offer an empowering perspective on how we can accept reality exactly as it is, take personal responsibility for our lives, and move forward effectively.

The only way I know how is by accepting reality exactly as it is and focusing on the things that are within our control. What other choice do you have? While politicians create policies, they don’t control your growth, your relationships, or your mindset. Only you have that power.

So, I invite you to take a deep breath… and listen to this episode with an open heart and an open mind. I love you so much, and I sincerely hope today’s episode leaves you feeling at peace with the things you cannot change and empowered to focus your energy on the things that you can control.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We all have more in common than we think
Focusing on things outside of our control prevents us from moving forward
The most important choice we make is how we show up each day
Taking full ownership of your life is the first step to real change.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Achieve Your Goals podcast, the show that empowers you to wake up to your full potential and achieve your biggest goals and dreams. I am your host, Hal Elrod, and I invite you to join 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
0:22.0	themselves, and we ask them to give you a peek behind the curtain and teach you exactly what you need
0:26.7	to do to do the same. Ready? Here we go. Hello, friends, and welcome to the Achieve Your Goals
0:33.5	podcast. I'm your host, Hal Elrod, and today we are delving into a topic that many of us may find
0:38.5	difficult and even controversial. But I believe it is vital. And that is moving forward after the
0:44.4	2024 presidential election. Now, in full disclosure, I recorded this episode last week,
0:51.1	the day after the election. And I happen to be really sick at the time. In fact,
0:56.0	I'm just now getting over it. So I'm still a little under the weather. But at the time, my head was
1:00.2	kind of cloudy. And so I asked two women in my life, my wife and my chief of staff, Tiffany,
1:05.2	who's worked with me for eight years, they both know me well. And I hold their opinion in a very high regard. So I asked both them to please listen to
1:11.7	the episode and give me their honest feedback. And they both agreed that what you're about to hear,
1:16.6	it's an important message about accepting reality as it is, taking personal responsibility for
1:22.2	our lives and focusing on what we can control. And they agreed that it's important. It's universal for all of us,
1:28.3	regardless of who we voted for. And they also agreed that I delivered it without much empathy,
1:33.5	that I moved quickly, especially for those who may be struggling with the election result.
1:38.5	Now, I believe that we all have superpowers, aspects of our character or skills that we are
1:42.9	exceptional at. For example, empathy is a superpower for
1:45.7	some people. They're able to deeply feel what other people are feeling and connect with those people.
1:50.8	Unfortunately, empathy is not my superpower. It's actually a significant area of improvement for me.
1:55.7	So I apologize in advance. If at any time you feel like I'm not being empathetic. My superpower is accepting
2:02.9	reality exactly as it is almost immediately and being at peace with anything that is out of my
2:09.7	control so that I can focus all of my energy on what I can control. That is the basis of today's episode. Now, with Donald Trump being
