good morning believe nation today’s
message is clarify what you want from
life over to you David Allen TV I think
people need to get sit down and clarify
what experiences are you really looking
for in your life and that doesn’t
necessarily it can include lots of money
but it can also include what do you want
to experience with that money a sense of
freedom a sense of service a sense of
providing value to the world a sense of
self-confidence and self efficacy what
is it that you’re after so there’s you
know in my own you know explorations and
the whole personal growth and
self-awareness Bo game for years I’ve
been involved in that pretty seriously
you know there’s an exercise and saying
well what do you want I want to read
Porsche great what experience do you
think that’s going to give you freedom
in a sense of fun whatever and then the
people get the red Porsche and they’re
worried about somebody going to Dennett
and they you know they can’t afford the
payments on it they didn’t really get
the experience they were looking for
what happened they got the they got the
symbol but they didn’t get the inner
experience but if you want the
experience of freedom and fun you can
have that this afternoon doesn’t mean
you shouldn’t have the red Porsche but
it just means that if you start to focus
on the inner experience what would
climbing the corporate ladder give you
as an inner experience why do you want
that what’s important to you about that
and because it could be I want to I want
to provide you know for my family for
you know for after I’m gone so there’s a
sense of building wealth or building net
worth or building assets you know for
the people around you that that care
that matter do that’s there’s no right
or wrong about any of your answers to
this but I think getting clearer about
whether you want to do that or whether
you want to get there because you want
to be able to impact a much larger
segment of the world for doing good or
taking it over I don’t know what do you
know whatever you want but I think
that’s the key is being able to
externalize and start to become
objective about well what is it that
you’re after and so just crafting your
own ideal scene not only of the things
you want which is fine don’t don’t stop
that not if I don’t feel embarrassed
that you
a red portion so there’s nothing wrong
with any of that material stuff that you
might want but it’s also true that’s a
real good idea to just say let me just
lay that all out and then use that as a
map just to then guide you in terms of
your intuitive decision-making I don’t
think you have to work at it that hard
but I think you do need to be conscious
about it and validate it in some part of
yourself I think people focus on the
wrong things just in general just in
life people focus on on the wrong things
you’re attached to like David said the
Porsche right you want the Porsche why
do you want the porch maybe because you
want the excitement maybe just wanted as
a status symbol so many people have
these goals that I want to make X amount
of dollars or I want to go on that
vacation or I want to buy that car or
get that house because it’s a status
symbol because that’s the sign getting
that Porsche is a sign that I’ve made it
I’ve made it now because I got that car
and the fact that you have so much of
your self-worth tied up into objects is
ridiculous you’re a valuable human being
whether you have that car or not I’ve
gone from living in a basement apartment
to live in with my parents to building a
5,000 square foot custom home from
scratch to living in a condo renting
buying doesn’t matter where I am doesn’t
matter doesn’t impact my self-worth and
because somebody else might look at me
and say oh you’re living with your
parents vs. oh you have this 5,000
square-foot modern custom home their
impact their thoughts on me has nothing
to do with how I think about myself and
the value that I add to myself and I
think that’s an important distinction
because a lot of the things that you’re
doing in life in your business and in
life are just trying to impress other
people because the fact that they think
highly of you now makes you feel better
about yourself stop caring so much about
what other people think about you
there’s a great line I think from quincy
jones who said not one ounce of my
self-worth comes from what you think
about me and i think it’s incredibly
powerful if you can really embrace that
and let that go and stop getting things
and stop chasing dreams and goals
because you’re worried about or you’re
trying to impress somebody else you know
i look at some of the goals that I have
you know I want to have a million
subscribers on this channel right I want
to reach a billion entrepreneurs the
goals themselves don’t matter
much more important than how many
subscribers i get is how I get my
subscribers much more important than how
much money you make is how you make your
money it makes a big difference because
yes I’d love to have a million
subscribers yeah I’d get a new ID get a
new plaque here that i could put here
this little gold youtube play button
that’s awesome but does that mean that i
made it now does that mean that suddenly
i’m a good youtuber and before i wasn’t
i love the stuff I’m making I’m really
proud of the videos that I’m making I
was proud of the videos I was making a
month ago in six months ago in three
years ago and five years ago I might be
better now I might have more practice I
might be turning up a little bit more
now I might feel like my impact because
of the skill and work and effort that I
put in my impact is greater now but the
number itself the vanity symbol doesn’t
mean anything now I still want to have
that goal it’s great to have goals I
think the goals are important measures
to go after it’s awesome but my
self-worth is not tied up to whether I
hit a million subscribers are not and I
think that’s a problem for a lot of
people I think people make the wrong
decisions do the wrong things and focus
on the things are not important me
having a million subscribers is nowhere
close nowhere near as important as the
impact that I feel like I’m having on
you guys touching your life getting in
here for you that’s important for me I
want you to go off and do amazing things
with your life and with your business
that’s why I make these videos I hope
that something in here inspires you to
want to go off and have a positive
impact on the world that fuels me every
single day and it doesn’t matter if I
have a million subscribers or not I
think just asking yourself why why is
this important to me why is that thing
that you’re chasing so important to you
and at the end of the day it’s because
it’s to impress somebody else because
your self-worth is tired up into
something else that’s the wrong reason
to do it and you’ll never really have
success doing because it’s always gonna
be something else is that was gonna be
some new person to impress or the
impressed feeling lasts for five minutes
and then they’re not impressed anymore
so you got to go off and do something
else or that status symbol that you got
great great for where you are but now
it’s always going to be somebody else
who has more than you and that’s just
chasing a hollow existence we’re doing
meaningful work
proud of that’s what you want to focus
on so I think it’s super important to
understand why you’re chasing the things
you are and get that clarity on your
life and when you do has a big it has a
big impact in such a direction for you
to be able to go off and do something
meaningful and powerful so the question
of the day today is are you chasing the
right things in life what are you
chasing leave it in the comments below
I’m going to join in the discussion I
also want to give a quick shadow to
Roger Pierce from Pierce words com Roger
