Who are you VS. Who do you want to be?
It could also be stated - What do you want to do now VS. What do you want to have done?
In both cases, the reality of how we act in the present moment can often be very different than all the desires of who we want to be and what we want to achieve in the future.
In this episode, we break down the Psychology of the Behaviour model that drives our actions. We learn how to close the gap between our desires and our actions to achieve our own version of success and happiness.
