1. (We Could Be) Heroes
“Everyday people do everyday things but I can’t be one of them … we could be heroes!”
You could be the same as everyone else…or you could pursue that life-changing dream. I love this song. It is truly one of those motivating songs that will inspire you to crush your goals.

2. Hall of Fame
“Do it for your people, do it for your pride, how you ever gonna know if you never even try? … Standing in the hall of fame – and the world’s gonna know your name!”
I love that this song calls upon you to find your motivation – for your people, for your pride, for your country, for your name. Once you’ve found that motivation, the song then encourages you to pursue your dreams – you could go the distance, run the mile, be the hero, get the gold.
After you’ve achieved that dream, the world will be at your feet – you’ll be standing in the hall of fame and the world will know your name!
Let’s do this!

This song’s upbeat track and straightforward message make you want to leap off your sofa and go conquer the world!

4. The Best
“You’re simply the best, better than all the rest!”
Okay, so maybe this is more of a love song than a goal-slaying song. But doesn’t everyone want to hear that “you’re simply the best”?

Yes, I put two Queen songs in this playlist. And I have no regrets.
“I’m a shooting star leaping through the sky. Like a tiger, defying the laws of gravity!”
Don’t stop me now, I’ve got to achieve my dreams!

8. It’s My Life
“It’s my life – it’s now or never. I ain’t gonna live forever. I just want to live while I’m alive.”
This song is a great motivator. We’re not going to live forever, so we need to make a difference now.

9. All-Star
“You’ll never know if you don’t go. You’ll never shine if you don’t glow. Hey now, you’re an all-star!”
This song never gets old for me. Remember, “only shooting stars break the mold.”
Time to be an all-star!

10. Gonna Fly Now
The Rocky theme song is the ultimate example of songs that will inspire you to crush your dreams.
Every time you hear those distinctive musical chords, you’re motivated to achieve the seemingly impossible!

I hope these songs will inspire you to go out and crush your goals. Get out there and conquer the world!
