Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems and real coaching.

And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brook Castillo.

Hi, gorgeous friends. How are you all doing?

I am doing amazing. I just got back from playing pickleball and having lunch and watching basketball.

It's like the perfect day. And I wanted to record this podcast because I've been thinking so much about wants lately.

And one of the reasons why I've been thinking a lot about this lately is because of my own life.

I've talked a lot about navigating my own life on this podcast and how the way that I navigate my own life is what I end up teaching.

I learn it for myself and then I end up teaching it in hopes that it will help you navigate your life if I'm able to have some success.

One of my beliefs that I learned really early on as a life coach was that our desires are the maps to our destiny.

I really do believe that. I do believe that if we pay attention to our trueist desires and I'm going to talk a little bit about what that actually means in a minute.

But if we navigate our lives according to our trueist desires, we will live the life we are meant to live.

And that doesn't mean our life will always be easy. It doesn't mean just because we're going after our desires and our wants that it will be enjoyable.

But it will give us the opportunity to grow and evolve not just ourselves, but by doing it with ourselves.

We will in our small way evolve humankind. I really do believe this.

And I believe that every single person has something to offer through their life well lived.

And that doesn't mean that you have to impact thousands of people. It doesn't mean that you have to make a huge contribution to millions of people.

It just means that your life is a contribution by the way that you live it.

And so for me personally, especially recently throughout this year, I've been trying to figure out what it is I want now.

And one of the reasons why I think this has been kind of a baffling question to me in many ways is that so many of my wants, so many of my desires, so many of the things that I want to do.

Many of the things that I've dreamt about have come true. And in ways that are beyond my expectation, like come on with this life with these people, with this success, with this enjoyment.

And so finding out and understanding what I want has become more challenging because the things that I've always wanted my whole life.
