076 – What do you want?
Backstory
While I was first working with my coaches and mentors a year and a half ago, I could not answer, “What is it that I’m working towards” or “what do I want out of life?” Instead I could only truthfully answer that I knew my life wasn’t working out so hot. I want to run away from that as fast as I could and so I would hustle and push hard and fast. And wasted a shit ton of energy!
Main Points
- It’s way easier to know what you don’t want. But that doesn’t give you a target to push towards.
- Take the time to visualize your future in body, mind, spirit, relationships, and career/finances. Begin with the end in mind (as Stephen Covey would say).
- Not having a target will waste time and energy.
- This is the single hardest thing besides consistency that you’ll have to do on this journey with me.
Action Steps
- White Belt: In what category of your life do you realize that it’s a now or never scenario? What are you “all in committed” to doing about it?
- Blue Belt: In body, spirit, relationship, and finances – what is your ultimate vision that you can actually visualize? How far out did you envision this? (1 year, 30 days, 10 years?)
- Black Belt: What is the legacy that you built and passed on to your future generations. Meaning, what did you embody and teach your kids/grandkids in these categories? How did you role model?
“I had to image the legacy I built in 75 years. I probably won’t be alive then, but I took time to ask myself, “what do people remember about me”?” — Nick Fanning
