In this episode, we delve into the process of creating the life we want to live. We begin by asking ourselves a series of thought-provoking questions, starting with what we want in our lives that we currently don't have. Taking five to ten minutes to reflect on this question allows us to pinpoint what is missing and identify our desires.
Next, we examine the aspects of our lives that we have but don't want. By identifying these conflicting elements, we gain a clearer understanding of what is standing in the way of our aspirations.
Considering the location of our life is also crucial. We assess if our current surroundings align with our goals and aspirations or if a change of scenery is necessary.
We then shift our focus to our desired side hustle or small business and evaluate how it fits into our overall plans. This exploration helps us understand the relationship between our entrepreneurial aspirations and our desired life.
To further explore our goals, we move on to developing "how can I" questions. By asking ourselves how we can acquire what we desire, we can assess potential paths to achieve our goals. We also evaluate if these goals genuinely align with our mission and desires.
Developing a financial plan is essential to turn our aspirations into reality. We examine if our current finances can support our goals or if we need to explore additional income avenues.
Expressing gratitude for what we already have is an important practice. We take a moment to list the things we are thankful for in our lives, recognizing the blessings we often overlook.
To navigate our lives more effectively, we analyze our sphere of control, influence, and concern. Rather than solely operating within our sphere of control or concern, we focus on the intersection of these three areas, maximizing our impact.
It can be beneficial to tune out the noise of the news and the opinions of others that may lead to unnecessary distractions. Instead, we consider advice and criticism only from those whom we trust and would seek guidance from ourselves.
Transforming our "how can I" questions into action-oriented statements is a key step in this process. We select one task related to our desired goals and commit to taking action on it today, moving us closer to our aspirations.
We remind ourselves that we deserve the life we desire but acknowledge that it requires hard work and effort to achieve. Believing in ourselves and our abilities is crucial as we put in the necessary work to transform our dreams into reality.
It's important to seek inspiration from those who have achieved what we desire. Finding individuals who are willing to mentor us and learning from their experiences can provide valuable guidance along the way.
We regularly review our lists and plans, making updates as needed, until we have achieved the life we want. This practice helps us stay on track, making adjustments whenever necessary.
Ultimately, action is the key ingredient to pursue the life we envision. Rather than waiting for opportunities to come to us, we take an active role in seeking them out. We create a structure and dedicate time each day to work towards our goals, taking action every single day.
Through hard work, dedication, and a belief in ourselves, we can manifest the life we desire. It's up to us to put in the effort and contribute meaningful work to make our dreams a reality.
