So what are you going to do with this one precious life that you've been given?
Kris Krohn here with Limitless TV and today we're talking about of all the
infinite choices you could select,
what do you do to select the choices that are
going to help you live the most amazing life you possibly can?
You know when you're a kid, everyone's pestering, you what do you
want to be when you grow up? right? And you know, kids are fun. They, they look at
some of the crazy things like, I want to be an engineer, you know I want to be an
astronaut, you know I want to be a surgeon. And you know as we get older and
collect life experience, we start recognizing that, hey there are certain
things that were more suitable for than others. I'll never forget I was in one of
my college classes for, for marriage family human development and my
professor said that all people have different strengths and weaknesses. And I
thought what a strange thing to say because my parents, I had eight brothers
and sisters my dad mom kind of raised us all with the same expectation as
probably parents naturally would want to do. But the truth is between all of us we
were super diverse. I mean, I still have the sister that thinks that a baker's dozen
is 12. doesn't even know that it's actually
13, right? And yet she is the most brilliant composer. Sit her down on the
piano and her fingers will just start making something up out of her head. You
know a lot of times when we're trying to figure out what we want to do when we
grow up we question or look at intelligence and thinking, well we have
to be super smart to do really good things. And the reality is, is that we're
all smart and genius in very different ways. In fact, someone might be a
brilliant dancer but they might really struggle at basic rational logic. We're
all brilliant in our own unique way so the question is how we figure out what
we want to do? Well here's what society's plan is. Society says that you got to get
good grades. With those good grades you you're going to use them to get into
college and then if you go to college and get a degree and it'll set you up
for success.
Well I Got News for you, getting into college measures two things
like reading
and math
maybe a little bit of science and yet those are only three
core competencies out of hundreds of core competencies.
And so I want to tell
you I'm a huge proponent of education and the real education that you might
need in life to figure out what you really want to do meant going beyond the
simple concept of a degree. Cause think about it, you're going to pick what you
want to do for the next 34 years of your life today. I want to give you some of
the things that I learned after I got my degree in college.
I want to share with you that, you know college even at that young age, trying
to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, changed rapidly after I really
got into the real world.
So the things that I want to share with you here in
this next segment I believe would be super helpful and helping you go beyond
maybe that elementary concept that all of us received as kids growing up and
instead graduate you to a different approach to figure out who you are and
what will truly fulfill you.
So when we talk about what you want to do with your
life sometimes that we think that translates
into a degree or a profession or a career. But I want to take you down a
totally different path. One of my friends Woody Woodward he
invented this system all based on what's important to people. And in a moment, I'm
going to put something up on the screen here and I'm going to show you a list of
35 different things that people find important to them. And as I put this up
on the screen, what I want you to do is take inventory on up these 35 things.
Which are the six that are most important to you?
yYou can even pause the
video and just take a second and write down of everything on the screen which
of these 35 are most important to you.
Do that right now.
Now as you're checking
out this list look at some of the things there. Being confident and appearances
connected to God, organized, a sense of trust, a sense of self-control, I am
overcoming in a loving relationship, living in the moment, receiving respect
providing for others, being free and independent, relying on your knowledge,
receiving praise, working, being creative, healthy, connected to family, receiving
recognition, feeling secure, achieving purpose, the power of influence ,connected
to nature, being a friend, validate,d solving problems, performing, being a good
parent, learning, being needed, achieving goals, experiencing life, serving, honoring
your standards, being accepted or winning.
Now as you look at this list, there are
six things on there that are going to be, that are going to really stand out and
be important. Now there might be ten things that you like or twelve but I
want to invite you to narrow it down to six. And here's what my friend Woody
Woodward is really teaching,
it's this principle that says,
if the things I'm
doing in my life align with the things that are important
to me then it means that I'm expressing purpose and I'm finding peace and then
finding contentment.
Now that you have your six if you pause and wrote them
down here's my challenge, if at any time during the day at least two of these six
are expressing themselves you're likely going to feel happy.
So when you're
looking at your life and what you want to do is you're looking at, at what kind
of career or how you spend your time and how you want to design and build your
lifestyle,
I'm inviting you to build it around these six core essential elements.
Because happiness will come from this, establishing and building greater value
will come from this, and feeling naturally fulfilled and happy will also
be a byproduct of following this these six things that are the most important
to you
