Unlock the secrets to an extraordinary life where each day brings you closer to your personal legend.

As your guide, I draw on the profound insights from Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" and fuse them with the latest research from the University of California to show you how active engagement with life is not just beneficial but essential for true happiness. This episode isn't about waiting for the stars to align; it's about grabbing the constellations and painting your own night sky.

Today, I share wisdom from thought leaders like Tony Robbins, emphasizing the power of decision-making in shaping our destinies. 

Whether it's setting daily intentions, celebrating all victories, or stepping out of our comfort zones, each action we take is a courageous claim on the life we desire. By the end of our time together, you'll be equipped with the strategies to make every moment count. 

So, let's link arms and embark on this journey to elevate our lives by 2% every day, with courage as our compass and greatness as our destination. 

Join me and transform our collective dreams into a vibrant reality.

Hello 2% Collective.
Welcome back to the 2% Solution, where we aim for small daily
improvements that accumulateinto massive transformations.
I'm your host, ty Manuel, andtoday's episode revolves around
an essential choice we must makedaily.
Beautifully encapsulated inPaulo Coelho's the Alchemist,

(00:28):
one of my favorite quotes, it'sthe possibility of having a
dream come true.
That makes life interesting.
Oh, I love that one.
We're discussing choosing tolive our personal legend today,
not waiting for some indefinitemaybe tomorrow future.
It's about being proactive, notreactive, and pursuing a

(00:50):
fulfilled life.
Let's just dive right into it.
Every day, we literally standat a crossroads.
One path is active, choosing tolive fully, embracing
opportunities, taking risks andstepping out of our comfort
zones, where the other ispassive, waiting for the perfect
, the right circumstances oreven the ideal version of

(01:14):
ourselves just to magicallyappear.
But here's the catch Life isn'ta rehearsal, it's happening
right now, and every moment wespend waiting is a moment we're
not truly living.
Research in positive psychologyconsistently shows that
happiness and fulfillment areoften byproducts of engaging

(01:35):
actively with life.
A study from the University ofCalifornia found that
individuals actively seekinglife experiences are
significantly happier and morefulfilled than those who
passively wait for life tohappen.
Think about it?
When was the last timesomething great happened while
you were sitting back and justwaiting for it?

(01:56):
Greatness often comes fromaction, from the decision to
move forward despite theuncertainty.
I love Tony Robbins' quote itis in your moments of decision
that your destiny is shaped.
Powerful, right, every decisionto happen brings you closer to

(02:16):
the life you've imagined,shaping your destiny one choice
at a time.
Now let's talk about what itmeans to choose to live a great
life.
It starts with settingintentions daily, not just big
life goals, but small dailyactions that align with those
goals.
It's about cultivatinggratitude for the big wins and

(02:40):
the small victories, as well asthe lessons learned along the
way.
And what about taking risks?
And the small victories, aswell as the lessons learned
along the way?
And what about taking risks?
Yeah, stepping into the unknowncan be scary, but it's also
where growth happens.
Each risk you take buildsconfidence and each failure is
another step towards success.

(03:00):
Remember, comfort zones arecomfortable because they're
familiar, not because they'renecessarily beneficial.
Choosing to live a great lifealso means prioritizing your
health and well-being.
Whether committing to regularphysical activity, eating well
or ensuring you get enough rest,your body and mind are the

(03:23):
foundations for buildinggreatness.
So how can you start choosingrather than waiting?
Begin by asking yourself eachmorning what can I do today that
will push me toward the life Iwant?
It might be something small,like reading a book on a topic
you love.
It might be something a littlebit bigger, like starting a new
project or reaching out tosomeone who inspires you.

(03:44):
As we wrap up today's episode,remember that the choice isn't
always easy, but it's alwaysyours to make.
Choosing to live a great lifeis an act of courage, a
statement that you're notwilling to life pass you by, and
if you're listening to this,thinking about how to start
making those choices, you'realready on the right path.

(04:04):
If you found value in today'sconversation, don't forget to

start choosing their great life.

(04:24):
