Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Have you ever wondered what is my purpose in life?
- 0:05Speaker 1: This question has been around for ages. Even back in
- 0:08Speaker 1: ancient times, philosophers like Aristotle were pondering life's purpose. In
- 0:15Speaker 1: today's busy world, where we're pulled in different directions, finding
- 0:21Speaker 1: our life's purpose feels more important than ever. Many people
- 0:27Speaker 1: go through life just reacting to things, instead of taking
- 0:31Speaker 1: charge and figuring out what truly matters to them. Sometimes,
- 0:35Speaker 1: even if they think they know their purpose, they confuse
- 0:39Speaker 1: it with short term goals. Others really want to find
- 0:43Speaker 1: meaning but don't know how. Why are you searching for
- 0:47Speaker 1: your life's purpose? People like to grow and improve. It's
- 0:51Speaker 1: a natural thing. We feel fulfilled when we're getting better.
- 0:54Speaker 1: In some way, growth is like a magnet for us.
- 0:57Speaker 1: But when we stop growing, we start feeling anxious, scared,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and even envious of others. We start wanting things like money, status,
- 1:07Speaker 1: and power, thinking they'll make us happy, but they won't.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Goals like buying a house or getting a good job
- 1:15Speaker 1: are important, but purpose takes things even higher. Goals can
- 1:20Speaker 1: give us a sense of achievement, but purpose makes us
- 1:23Speaker 1: truly fulfilled. And feeling fulfilled isn't just a luxury. It's
- 1:29Speaker 1: something we really need. Two things that stop us from
- 1:34Speaker 1: finding our purpose. There are two big things that get
- 1:38Speaker 1: in the way of finding our true purpose. One wanting
- 1:41Speaker 1: to be certain. We like things to be stable and predictable.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We stay in our comfort zones to avoid getting anxious
- 1:50Speaker 1: or hurt. But staying comfortable also keeps us from growing
- 1:55Speaker 1: and finding our purpose. Two believing limiting thoughts. Sometimes we
- 2:01Speaker 1: tell ourselves stories about who we are, and these stories
- 2:05Speaker 1: can hold us back. If we think we're not good enough,
- 2:09Speaker 1: we'll be scared to try new things. But believing we
- 2:12Speaker 1: can change our lives helps us find purpose. Why knowing
- 2:16Speaker 1: your purpose is important. Research shows that knowing your purpose
- 2:24Speaker 1: can help you live longer. People who feel their life
- 2:27Speaker 1: has meaning tend to live longer and have fewer heart problems.
- 2:32Speaker 1: It's also linked to happiness and fulfillment. Goals might not
- 2:37Speaker 1: help you find your life's purpose, but knowing your purpose
- 2:40Speaker 1: can help you achieve your goals. When you know your purpose,
- 2:44Speaker 1: you feel clear and passionate. You stop worrying about the
- 2:47Speaker 1: past and the future, and you start living in the present.
- 2:51Speaker 1: How to find your purpose One look inside. The answer
- 2:56Speaker 1: to what is my purpose? Is inside? You don't listen
- 3:01Speaker 1: too much to what others say. You have what it takes.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Limiting beliefs are what holds you back, but you can
- 3:07Speaker 1: change them. Two. Focus on purpose, not just goals. Goals
- 3:13Speaker 1: are good, but they should be connected to your purpose.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Ask yourself, how will this help me feel more fulfilled?
- 3:21Speaker 1: Keep your purpose in mind while setting goals. Three. Appreciate
- 3:26Speaker 1: what you have. Seeing the good in your life helps
- 3:29Speaker 1: you find purpose. When you focus on what you have,
- 3:33Speaker 1: you attract positive things. You feel less scared and more joyful. Four.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Take control design your own life. Don't let fear or
- 3:45Speaker 1: others control you. Responsibility for finding your purpose is yours,
- 3:50Speaker 1: not someone else's.
- 4:01Speaker 2: You see, we were gifted with these higher faculties were
- 4:07Speaker 2: God's highest form of creation. We were created in God's image.
- 4:12Speaker 2: We were given creative faculties to use. And you know,
- 4:17Speaker 2: they're only used by two or three percent of the population.
- 4:23Speaker 2: It's almost inconceivable that people would wander around with so
- 4:28Speaker 2: much power and potential and squandering. See the average person
- 4:34Speaker 2: literally tiptoes through life hoping they make it safely to death.
- 4:39Speaker 2: It's such a shame, and it doesn't.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Have to be that way.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I think we have giant corporations and little we creative departments.
- 4:50Speaker 2: The primary reason for that is the average individual really
- 4:55Speaker 2: does not believe that they're creative. Everyone's creative, and no
- 5:02Speaker 2: one is more creative than another. It's just that some
- 5:06Speaker 2: have chosen to use their creative faculties to a greater
- 5:10Speaker 2: degree than others. Imagination, your imagination, What do you want?
- 5:19Speaker 2: How do you really want to live? Build the picture
- 5:23Speaker 2: in your mind. There's a power that is flowing to
- 5:28Speaker 2: and through you, a creative, unadult graded power.
- 5:36Speaker 3: And I suggest to you one work on yourself. To me,
- 5:40Speaker 3: I think there are three pillows of what's required in
- 5:44Speaker 3: order to cove out your place in this global economy.
- 5:48Speaker 3: There are many steps, but there are three that I
- 5:50Speaker 3: think that's indispensable. One is working on your mind. Be
- 5:54Speaker 3: not conformed to this world, be transformed by the renewing
- 5:58Speaker 3: of your mind. Second is having a mindset and willing
- 6:03Speaker 3: to discipline yourself. Make the sacrifice to engage an ongoing
- 6:09Speaker 3: self study for self growth and development. Developing your communication skills.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I can hear, mister Washington. I'll say, mister Brown, develop
- 6:18Speaker 3: your communication skills, because once you open your mouth, you
- 6:21Speaker 3: tell the world who you are. Nelson Mandela said, if
- 6:24Speaker 3: you speak from your mind, you speak in the language
- 6:27Speaker 3: that a man can understand. But when you speak from
- 6:30Speaker 3: your heart, you speak and this language. And so my
- 6:34Speaker 3: goal in teaching people how to create massive heals, how
- 6:39Speaker 3: to change lives, that you first you have to change yourself.
- 6:42Speaker 3: It starts with you, and then you begin to see
- 6:46Speaker 3: from your experience how you can begin to impact and
- 6:50Speaker 3: influence others and be a voice of change. And that
- 6:53Speaker 3: ability really will allow you to cove out a place
- 6:57Speaker 3: for yourself in the marketplace. The methods in the technique,
- 7:01Speaker 3: the simplicity of how you language what you say. Einstein
- 7:06Speaker 3: said that genius is the capacity to take the complicated
- 7:11Speaker 3: and make it simple.
- 7:15Speaker 1: This is so simple, I don't want you to miss it.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Most people don't lead their life. They accept their life.
- 7:22Speaker 1: And when you accept your life, you are living on
- 7:25Speaker 1: things that are not worthy of your time and effort
- 7:28Speaker 1: and energy. And you heard me say at the moment,
- 7:31Speaker 1: everything worth whiles uphill. The reason I want you to
- 7:33Speaker 1: understand that is to go uphill, you have to be intentional.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Nobody ever went uphill by accident. You've never read a
- 7:39Speaker 1: book on accidental achievements. You have to be intentional with
- 7:45Speaker 1: what you do with your If you really want to
- 7:47Speaker 1: be transformed, you have to live an intentional life. The
- 7:51Speaker 1: question I have for you right now is just a
- 7:54Speaker 1: simple one. What is your purpose in life? Now? Simple question,
- 8:02Speaker 1: hard to answer. You see, you were created for a purpose.
- 8:09Speaker 1: The challenge that you and I have is to find
- 8:12Speaker 1: that purpose. Because once we find, as Simon Sending would say,
- 8:17Speaker 1: the why in our life, all of a sudden we
- 8:20Speaker 1: began to expand and grow and have fulfillment and just
- 8:26Speaker 1: we begin to develop like we have never developed. For
- 8:29Speaker 1: once we find our purpose. So how do we do that?
- 8:33Speaker 1: We ask ourselves two questions, what am I passionate about?
- 8:37Speaker 1: And what am I good at? If you can answer
- 8:40Speaker 1: those two questions, if you can find out what you
- 8:42Speaker 1: are passionate about, what you really love, and then you
- 8:46Speaker 1: can find and realize that you have a skill set
- 8:50Speaker 1: that will allow you to do what you really love.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Once you can put those two together, you found your purpose.
- 8:57Speaker 4: You may start out doing something that is not thing
- 9:00Speaker 4: you were created to do. It may only be the
- 9:03Speaker 4: thing that leads to the thing you were created to do.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Don't stop at where you are as if it were
- 9:10Speaker 4: the destination. When in fact. In reality, it may be
- 9:14Speaker 4: the transportation that brings you into that thing you are
- 9:17Speaker 4: created to issue. We do have a purpose. We may
- 9:21Speaker 4: not be perfect people, we may not have perfect situations,
- 9:24Speaker 4: but we are still significant nonetheless, and we have been
- 9:28Speaker 4: blessed with a rich body of emotions. We have emoss,
- 9:32Speaker 4: we have feelings, and when we use improperly, they are
- 9:36Speaker 4: very effective in motivating you toward your destiny. I want
- 9:41Speaker 4: you to be clear and understanding that purpose and passion
- 9:44Speaker 4: are interconnected. Unfortunately, we live in a crazy world that
- 9:48Speaker 4: we're busy all the time and we are losing touch
- 9:50Speaker 4: with who we are, our inner sense of passion. But
- 9:54Speaker 4: it is your passion that empowers you to be able
- 9:58Speaker 4: to do that thing you were created do.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Do you ever find yourself wanting more? As human beings,
- 10:09Speaker 1: we crave growth, so we set and achieve goals of
- 10:13Speaker 1: more money, more possessions, or more power. Yet we still
- 10:16Speaker 1: find ourselves feeling stuck. We plateau, we feel uninspired, even bored,
- 10:23Speaker 1: because while we've mastered the physical realm, what we really
- 10:26Speaker 1: crave is true fulfillment, more meaning, more purpose. All of
- 10:33Speaker 1: life's challenges are opportunities in disguise. When you feel stuck
- 10:38Speaker 1: in a rut. It is actually the perfect opportunity to
- 10:41Speaker 1: renew yourself. It's your chance to realize that we grow
- 10:46Speaker 1: so that we can give self renewal is an essential
- 10:51Speaker 1: part of our spiritual wellness. Just as we need to
- 10:54Speaker 1: grow in our relationships and our careers, we need to
- 10:58Speaker 1: grow as human beings. By learning how to renew yourself,
- 11:02Speaker 1: you'll be able to continuously reconnect with your purpose in life,
- 11:06Speaker 1: reignite your passion, and rediscover your true spirit. Learning how
- 11:10Speaker 1: to renew your life isn't always easy, but it is
- 11:13Speaker 1: always worth it. Give yourself a time out. Many Americans
- 11:17Speaker 1: are working more than ever, the rat race remains glorified,
- 11:21Speaker 1: and finding the time can be the most difficult part
- 11:24Speaker 1: of how to renew yourself emotionally, allow yourself to unplug,
- 11:29Speaker 1: allow yourself to prioritize your own spiritual and mental well being.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Let the process of self renewal begin with giving yourself
- 11:37Speaker 1: permission to fully pursue it. Self. Awareness is key to
- 11:42Speaker 1: everything we do in life. We cannot set goals, make plans,
- 11:45Speaker 1: or ever find fulfillment if we don't know what it
- 11:47Speaker 1: is we truly want to discover this, we must stop
- 11:50Speaker 1: being blinded by our own subjective emotions and begin to
- 11:54Speaker 1: see ourselves for who and what we really are. That
- 11:57Speaker 1: is self awareness, and it is the ultimate power. Part
- 12:02Speaker 1: of improving our self awareness is to recognize and admit
- 12:10Speaker 1: when we are living according to a blueprint that has
- 12:13Speaker 1: been set for us rather than one that follows what
- 12:17Speaker 1: we really want. Ultimately, learning how to renew yourself means
- 12:23Speaker 1: recognizing that the nice house, the fancy car, and the
- 12:28Speaker 1: expensive suit won't bring you fulfillment unless there is a
- 12:32Speaker 1: purpose behind it. Your purpose is what drives you. It's
- 12:36Speaker 1: what gives your life meaning, and you cannot know how
- 12:40Speaker 1: to renew your life if you don't know your purpose.
- 12:43Speaker 1: People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals, that is,
- 12:48Speaker 1: goals that do not inspire them. Connecting your goals to
- 12:51Speaker 1: your purpose is what will get you out of bed
- 12:54Speaker 1: every morning with energy and vitality, ready to tackle the
- 12:58Speaker 1: tasks at hand. People live in patterns. Patterns serve an
- 13:03Speaker 1: important purpose, but they also can be one of the
- 13:06Speaker 1: things that keep us from achieving our goals. We get
- 13:09Speaker 1: stuck in the same habits. If you do what you've
- 13:12Speaker 1: always done, you'll get what you've always gotten, only When
- 13:16Speaker 1: you recognize and break your patterns, can you discover how
- 13:19Speaker 1: to renew yourself emotionally. One way to break your patterns
- 13:23Speaker 1: is to examine what you believe about yourself. It's harder
- 13:26Speaker 1: than it seems. We often know what we think of
- 13:29Speaker 1: others and of outside events, but we're less likely to
- 13:33Speaker 1: listen to our own self talk. It's harder to identify
- 13:37Speaker 1: our own limiting beliefs. Yet these beliefs are what hold
- 13:40Speaker 1: us back from achieving our dreams. You become what you believe.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Unless you believe that you can become the best version
- 13:47Speaker 1: of yourself, you never will. Success is processional. It's the
- 13:54Speaker 1: result of a series of small disciplines. Success lies in
- 13:58Speaker 1: the small choice as we make every day. It means
- 14:02Speaker 1: creating an empowering mourning ritual like priming or yoga. It
- 14:07Speaker 1: means feeding your body the right fuel and feeding your
- 14:11Speaker 1: mind the right information. To create a massive shift in
- 14:15Speaker 1: how to renew your life, you must first eliminate bad
- 14:19Speaker 1: habits and replace them with empowering ones. We've all heard
- 14:24Speaker 1: the phrase you are who you hang out with or
- 14:27Speaker 1: who you spend time with is who you become. To
- 14:30Speaker 1: renew yourself, sometimes you must renew your social group. You
- 14:33Speaker 1: must choose to surround yourself with people who will lift
- 14:36Speaker 1: you up, not bring you down. Once you raise your standards,
- 14:40Speaker 1: you'll level up your achievement in life. No matter where
- 14:43Speaker 1: you are in life, the power of gratitude is key
- 14:46Speaker 1: to how to renew yourself. Adopting an abundance mindset will
- 14:49Speaker 1: transform the way you see the world. It will allow
- 14:52Speaker 1: you to escape your scarcity mindset and approach life from
- 14:55Speaker 1: a place of emotional and spiritual wealth. You can start
- 14:58Speaker 1: a gratitude journal, learn how to practice mindfulness, or train
- 15:02Speaker 1: your mind to pair any negative thought with a positive one.
- 15:06Speaker 1: A true attitude of gratitude makes us feel renewed every
- 15:10Speaker 1: moment of every day. There is a shortcut to how
- 15:13Speaker 1: to renew yourself. Get out of your comfort zone, interact
- 15:17Speaker 1: with people you wouldn't normally interact with, learn a new
- 15:20Speaker 1: language or instrument, go sky diving, or take a hot
- 15:23Speaker 1: air balloon ride. The only way to overcome your fears
- 15:28Speaker 1: and your limiting beliefs is to face them, starting right now.
