1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: I'll get a team. Well, as you know, we're kind 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: of we're moving through our series of twelve repurposed content 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: from over the last year or two through the You 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: Project and also life. This episode is about what we're 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: going to do, be, create, change, learn undo over the 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: next year. What your life might look like from moving 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: forward in a year from now. This is a little 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: bit of a I guess, provocative but also reflective piece. Anyway, 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: wherever you are today, whatever you're doing, I hope you 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: have some fun. What do you want your life to 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: look like a year from now on Planet you? If 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: things are going great, if things are evolving and improving, 13 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: and you're doing better, thinking better, producing better, communicating better, 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: what's happening, what's happening in that new and improved version 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: of your life? Think about this. This is not a 16 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: bad thought exercise, but also not a bad practical exercise. 17 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: I've done this many times in my life where I 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: feel like I'm spinning my wheels, i feel like I'm 19 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: working pretty hard, or I'm investing a lot of time 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: and energy for not much, and when I hit the 21 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: pause button, I realize that I am in a version 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: of groundhog Day. I realize that I do a lot 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: of the same stuff that doesn't really work, Like it 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: kind of works a bit, but it's not really truly 25 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: productive and effective, and it's not really compelling me forward. 26 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: It's not really creating the existence that I want to inhabit, 27 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: and it's not making me the person that I want 28 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: to be. It's a little bit different these days, I 29 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: think have evolved and I'm a bit better in this space, 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: in this place. But for a long time that was me. 31 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: And you know, here's the thing, like we you know, 32 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: we listen to podcasts, we read books, we watch YouTube stuff, 33 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: we go to workshops and seminars, we talk with our friends. 34 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: We ruminate, we think, we overthink, we unpacked, we philoso fiers, 35 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: we set goals, we we create plans kind of sometimes, 36 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: you know, and then it's Christmas, then it's New Year. 37 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: We go, oh shit, where did that year go? And 38 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: this is what we do? We go, oh my god, 39 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: didn't this year go so fast? Didn't it? Bloody fly? No, 40 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: now I didn't. He's exactly the same as last year, 41 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: depending on the oddly year, of course, but in general terms, 42 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: same three hundred and sixty five days, twenty four hours 43 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: a day, fourteen and forty minutes a day. That's life. 44 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: That's our lot. It's the same. The variable is not time. 45 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: The variable as you and me. Now here's what I 46 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: can tell you is absolutely going to happen. And you think, 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: how would you know? Hear me out? One of four 48 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: things is going to happen for you and this is 49 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: guaranteed a year from now. So I want you to 50 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: look at the date that you listen to this, won't 51 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: you think about how your life is currently? And by 52 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: how your life is, I mean situation, circumstance, environment, job, money, 53 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: or the internal stuff, joy, happiness, fulfillment. Are you anxious? 54 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: Are you sad? Are you lonely? Are you disconnected? Are 55 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: you depressed? Do you have purpose or you're creative? Is 56 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: their joy? Like that internal world and that external world? 57 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: Now what's let me finish what I was going to say. 58 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: So what's going to happen a year from now? Is 59 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: you are gonna one You're either going to be dead. 60 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Let's hope that's that sounds You're not going to be dead, though, 61 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: but that's a some people. There's a lot of people 62 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: right now that they're not going to be here in 63 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: a year. Let's hope that you and me are two 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: that are still here. Let's hope that. So let's assume 65 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: we're here. So one of three things now is going 66 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: to happen is that your life is going to be 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: worse than it currently is. Your life is going to 68 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: be pretty much the same, or your life is going 69 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: to be better. Your life is going to be better 70 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: than it currently is. And so my question to you 71 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: is what does that mean? Like specifically, what does that mean? 72 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: What are the things that you want to do, be, 73 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: create and change to make that a year from now, 74 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: that one year from now life great. And so what 75 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: we do is this thing called reverse engineering, where we 76 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: start with the end in mind. So just for now, 77 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: I would love you to imagine even if you if 78 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: you're driving, don't do this, but maybe if you're sitting 79 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: on the train, maybe not either or riding a bike 80 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: or running, but sitting on the train, you're probably but 81 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 1: maybe if you can turn down the busyness for a minute, 82 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: maybe even if you're multi asking, you're listening to me 83 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: and you're doing something else. If now it's not a 84 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: good time, maybe find a time where you re listen 85 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: to this and listen to me. When I say to you, 86 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: what do you want your life to look like in 87 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: a year When you think about a year from now 88 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: and your life's going great, what's happening in that great life? 89 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: What's your situation in that great life? Are you in 90 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: the same job. Are you in the same job at 91 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: a different position? You're doing that differently, You're in a 92 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: different job. Have you started your own business? Maybe you've 93 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: already got your own business, Have you grown it? Have 94 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: you changed it? What are you doing in terms of 95 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: ongoing learning and personal development? Are you in the middle 96 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: of a course or a workshop, or a book or 97 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: a process. And what about your spiritual life? If you 98 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: have such a thing, what's happening there? And what about 99 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: your body? What about your health? And what about your relationships? 100 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: And what about all of these things that combine to 101 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: equal the totality of your life. Your life is not 102 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: a thing. Your life is a combination of things internal 103 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: and external, scene and unseen, physical and non physical, and 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: all of that stuff comes together to form you your life. 105 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: Is it possible that in a year from now you're 106 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: making more money than you are now but you're less happy? 107 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: Is that it's absolutely possible? Is it likely? Well? Who knows. 108 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: Is it possible you're making more money and you're happier, 109 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: very possible. Is it possible that you've already peaked and 110 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: where you are as where you need to be in 111 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: a year from now, that right now you're in the 112 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: vara and nothing needs to change or you want nothing 113 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: to change. It's possible. It's probably not likely because you're 114 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: listening to me, which means you probably want to learn, grow, 115 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: evolve and do better, think better, create better. But maybe, 116 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: But I can't tell you what it should be. Of course, 117 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: I would suspect that a better life, or your best life, 118 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: would involve some of that internal good stuff, some of 119 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: that calm, some of that joy, some of that purpose, 120 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: some of that fulfillment, some of that happiness, and some 121 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: of that social connection and love and kindness and compassion. 122 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: I would guess that involves that, but I could be wrong. 123 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: It could be all about what's happening in your business. 124 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: And that's nothing wrong with that, no judgment from me. 125 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: So do a stock take of where you are right now, 126 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: and then put on those one year classes. Think about 127 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: what life will be in a year from now, and 128 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: think about when you're in the middle of that good life, 129 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: that future life. Think about what you need to do now. 130 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: Think about the decisions that you need to make now. 131 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: Think about the action that you need to take now, 132 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: Think about the stuff that you need to acknowledge, the 133 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: conversations you need to have the commitment that you need 134 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: to make now so that in the next twelve months, 135 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: with work and where it's and discipline and self control 136 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: and passion and courage and a bit of intellect, you 137 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: can inhabit that life that you want to inhabit. We'll 138 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: be back in a minute. All right, we're back, So 139 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: just quickly, here's my question. What's one thing, one thing 140 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: that you can do today that you haven't done, but 141 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: one thing that you can do today that's going to 142 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: create some momentum so that this is not just another 143 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: thing that you listen to that you go, oh, yeah, 144 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: that's that's a good concept, start the end in mind, 145 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: and work back. But what if you actually, what if 146 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: this wasn't just another show that you listened to. What 147 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: if that wasn't just this wasn't just another ten minutes 148 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: or so of your life, but it was actually the point. 149 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: We're not because of Craig Harper or not because of 150 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: what I say, but because of you, where you go, 151 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: fuck it. I'm not ready, it's not comfortable, it's not 152 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: hast but nonetheless I'm doing it. And then you look 153 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: back in a year and you go, fuck, remember that day, 154 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: Remember when I made that uncomfortable, that unplanned that I 155 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: wasn't ready for it. It wasn't convenient, it wasn't fun, 156 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't painless. But I did it, and now here 157 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: I am. You will not magically or accidentally succeed, friends, 158 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: you will make the decision, you'll do the work, you 159 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: will get uncomfortable, and you'll grow and learn and evolve, 160 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: and you will inhabit that better life that you want 161 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: to inhabit a year from now, or you won't. It's 162 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: your choice.
