Hey guys, my name is John Kim. I'm a licensed therapist and life coach putting

self betterment into a shot class because let's face it who's got that much time

these days. I come unpolished, unrehearsed, on purpose.

If you're looking for more of a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place.

Also I want to mention some big news. Journey is now affiliated with

Wanderlust. We're the only life coaching company to partner with them and myself

Noel and many of our catalyst life coaches will be at Wanda Lestratton, which is in Vermont from June 21st through the 24th.

If you want to join us, you can get 10% off tickets using the code JRNI 2018 go to wanderlust.com and look for Stratton.

I hope to see you there.

Presson smiles describes the American nightmare as this mindset, where you believe that you're

not going to be happy until you get this, or once I get this, or if I get this, then I'll allow myself to feel this, right?

And I could totally relate to that because most of my life,

that's how I lived. That was my mindset. I didn't allow myself to be happy until I got what I thought was quote unquote the American dream, and so back in a day and this is most of my 20s and 30s

I wanted things I wanted very shiny things and if I didn't get those things then I wasn't happy and so

basically I was always in a chasing state I was always miserable and this is why my new book that's coming out early 19 is called I used to be a miserable fuck

It's actually how the first paragraph of the book opens and my publishers thought that it would be a

great title and it's true I used to be and the reason why I used to be was because I didn't allow myself to be happy

unless these other things happen and so basically I lived a life that was contingent on things that

I couldn't control. Now that being said of course you do have

control in going after your dreams and I think you should, especially if you if

you feel that you are doing something in this world that is greater than yourself.

So if you and I know I'm getting a little sidetracked I'll come back to the American nightmare
