Goal Getting PodcastAuthor: Tony Woodall
Hi Goal Getters. I am going to be changing the name and focus of the Goal Getting Podcast. I started the Goal Getting Podcast 10 years ago. I created content until 2017. A lot changed in my life since then. One of the biggest was walking across Spain on the Camino de Santiago in 2022. I thought it would be just an adventure to celebrate past successes and tell my mind and body that I could overcome the new physical challenges that had been presented to me. After I walked the Camino Frances in 2022, I had posed a couple of questions to the Camino. One of those was answered in the next six months. I was laid off from my job of 13 years and a very unexpected company crash, the 2nd largest bank failure in history. I went back and walked another Camino, the Portuguese, from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. While walking my second Camino and then 3rd in the same trip, I realized I wanted to start The Leaders Path, to guide people to find or reclaim their passion for a purposeful life. The Leaders Path includes goal setting and achievement, so that will be a part of the journey. There will be several areas I will be focusing on in our journey. The Leaders Guide to Goal Achievement will be one of the areas. I gained more insight on goal setting and achievement with OKRs, Objectives and Key Results and other insights learned from walking across two countries. I am now living my latest goal of being a digital nomad, slow traveling and working around the world. I will also be sharing The Leaders Path to Mental Fitness The Leaders Path to a Magical Morning The Leaders Path to Resilience and other topics to help you find and live your life of passion and purpose. If you are a subscriber, I hope you will continue being so as I create new content. This will be a work in progress as change my purpose here.

Use this mantra to be the victor of life’s tests.
Episode 313
Sunday, 24 November, 2019
Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor. - Tammy S. Ernst Tammy Ernst sounds like she trained at the same martial arts school as me. This quote from Tammy is very similar to the "mantra" we stated at the beginning and end of each class in our dojo. Shiken haramitsu daikoumyo This sacred Buddhist mantra in Japanese is taught and used by all members of the Bujinkan Dojo. The meaning as explained by my Sensei when I started training was: "In every encounter or experience in life, we have the chance to gain total enlightenment. It's up to us to determine if those experiences are positive or negative." This phrase became my mantra for life. This is how I like to look at the experiences I have in life. I try to look at all of them as positive as I can. You can see how Tammy's quote is so similar. Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor. We choose whether we will be better or bitter. We choose to let our experiences break us or make us. We choose to be the Victim or the Victor. It's a tough choice for some, easy for many. Unfortunately, most people choose to be the Victim. They choose to let the tough life experiences break them, they choose to be bitter. What do you choose? Are you a Victim or a Victor? Are you going to let life's experiences break you or make you. Will you choose bitterness or Betterness! Join me in choosing to be a Victor.
