Do you feel like you still have music in you? Do you have some sort of untapped purpose that you haven't been able to quite get out yet or even articulate? Well, living an okay life will certainty not help you get to an extraordinary life. You have to be not okay with just being okay. The concept of 'just being okay' is what Dr. Norton and Bruce discuss on this episode. They also offer next step solutions on how you can grow and not settle for the 'just okay' lifestyle.

 

Key Takeaways:

[1:30] Are you just 'okay'?

[4:25] Bruce was just okay with living in Florida, until one day he realized he wasn't.

[5:55] Is just being okay enough for you in your life?

[9:30] What is the secret to Dr. Norton's success and sanity?

[12:05] Business owners start to believe that overwhelm is absolutely normal and okay. Well, it's not!

[13:45] If we're a 100 watt light bulb, then where is okay?

[14:20] We are designed for challenges, but feeling overwhelmed can impact us negatively.

[16:30] What are some of the signs that you've settled for being just okay?

[19:35] Sometimes all you need is somebody to bring you a new perspective.

[22:20] Even if you're making lots of money and have finally 'made it', sometimes you're still not okay.

[22:30] If you're not growing, you're not going to feel fulfilled.

[26:05] What is your purpose in life and what you're currently doing?

[26:20] You're settling for okay because you do not have a bigger purpose in life.

[27:55] Expect challenges throughout your life.

[34:30] Always prioritize your health.

[37:30] Never, never, never give up!
