Speakers notes
This is one of the hardest questions to answer.
Sounds simple. But it’s not.
Most of the time you don’t think about what you want.
And when you do have to think about it, you find out you’re not really sure what it is.
Imagine this:
You’re with a friend. One of you says, Let’s grab lunch.
The other says, Great! Where do you want to go?
I don’t know. What do you want?
This goes back and forth a few times.
Then you get to the restaurant and look at the menu. It will probably take you several minutes to decide what you want to eat.
It’s just lunch! And it takes you time and mental energy to figure out what you want to eat today.
Now, think about how much harder it is to figure out what you want for your relationships, your job, and your life!
Most people go through life and don’t give much thought to what they want. Every once in a while they open that door. “Financial planning.”
But you aren’t like most people. You’re listening to Monday Morning Mindset.
You are looking to grow as a person. Be the best version of yourself.
Finding out what you want is the starting point.
This is where I start with my coaching clients.
To find the WHAT to change your life takes work.
Usually under a couple of layers of Facebook answers and political correctness. Or, in my case, a pile of religious beliefs.
Someday I’ll tell the story of how God delivered me from religion.
The point I want to make is that getting down to what you really want takes work.
But it’s the starting point if you are going to have an epic life.
Answer the question 3 ways:
- Who do I want to be?
- What do I want to do?
- What do I want to have?
Last week:
Do – Have – Be approach to life. Who I am is based on what I have and do.
You will never become your best version of yourself with Do-Have-Be
You must live from your identity.
So the first question you answer is Who do I want to be?
Your character and your personality are not set in stone.
Your identity is guided by the story you tell yourself about yourself.
You can change your story!
Next question:
What do I want to do?
What is my assignment? What am I put here on earth to accomplish?
What is it that lights my fire and fills my soul?
Next question:
What do I want to have?
Ultramarthon: fuel, hydration, crew, pacers, gear, cowbells.
Life: resources, support of family and friends, coaches and mentors, tools, and fans.
Answer these questions about what you want for your life, and you will be at the start of your journey to having an EPIC life.
Next week I’ll talk about the three roadblocks you may face when you start to figure out what you want.
Thanks for listening.
I’d love to help you get started to living your best life.
