Summary
In order to build the life that you ultimately want to live, you must create a plan, write it down, and then set out on that journey. You achieve and evolve along the way as you make progress. But before you can write down a plan, there are many things you need to understand first, that can only be achieved by deep, honest introspection.
You need to understand what motivates you and what brings you joy. You need to understand what you are truly capable of and be as objective as possible about what may be outside your skill set. You need to understand what it is that you don’t want and what pulls energy from you. Going through this sort of self-analysis will give you the information you need to begin designing the ultimate version of your life.
Continuing this process as you find success will serve to hone your plan as you evolve as a person to ensure your plan is always in line with your current self.

| 0:46.0 | You need to do that personal deep dive assessment, and that may even require you going out and trying a bunch of things before you can get to a place |
| 0:57.1 | that you truly understand yourself enough of what you want to do, what you're capable of, |

| 1:56.0 | My six-year-old loves Legos, okay? |
| 1:58.4 | And I am so grateful by the grace of God that he now can put together |
| 2:04.8 | Legos by himself to where I no longer need to help him. It's incredible because in the past, |
| 2:11.3 | he'd have his birthday and be like, here it is, 700 pieces, the Death Star ship. And there I am putting together Lego pieces for hours |
