We're going to talk about how to decide what you want in your life and we're going to talk about how to actually execute on that as well.

So I'm curious with you listening to me right now in this moment do you know what you want in your life.

Do you know for a fact this is what I want this is what I want to do this is what I want my life to be this is what I want to get out of it.

If you don't I'll be honest with you most people have an idea what they want but they're not really sure like they don't have a really clear and concise idea of exactly what it is that they want for themselves in their lives.

And you will get whatever you ask for asking you shall receive you've heard this like it's there's so many texts and you know old books that tell you that you have to know what is it you want but you're still sitting around not knowing exactly what is it you want.

Here's the thing that I said you have to be very very clear on what it is that you want this life in the example that I always give.

Because it makes the most sense imagine your mom calls you it's November new mom calls you she's like hey honey what do you want for Christmas you're like mom you know just whatever doesn't really matter to give me whatever is that you want.

And she's like are you sure you're like yeah whatever does it you just get just give me something don't worry about it.

You're like okay cool you forget about it you see her Christmas and she gives you a gift and you open it up and you're like what the hell this isn't what I wanted mom and she's like well what do you mean you're like this isn't what I wanted what you got me isn't what I wanted.

She's like well you didn't tell me what you wanted you're like yeah this isn't what I wanted that is how you're living your life in your goals and your dreams and what you're trying to get out of it is you're like maybe I'll get this thing and I don't know what this thing necessarily is and maybe the universal give it to me and then when you get something you're like this isn't the shit that I wanted and you get pissed off because you're getting not what you wanted even though you don't know what it is that you want the more clear that you can be of what it is that you want the more likely that you are to get it but you've got to become very clear.

The main reason why people don't get what they want in life is because they don't really know what they want in life.

So my question to you is what the hell do you want let's try to figure it out what's the reason why you're on this planet you know when you're dying when you die how do you want to be remembered.

Have you ever thought about these questions most people I feel listening to me at all times have an idea what is that they want.

But there's a piece of them that is afraid to go down that route because it's not as safe it's not as secure what you'll talk about a little while because it seems a little bit crazy.

But when you're born you know what you want you know when you're hungry and you cry you when you're in pain you cry whenever you want something you cry because that's what you want you want to get it and you knew what you wanted and you got it and you asked for it and you had no hesitation in doing so.

So what happened down the road where along the way did you get lost when you were growing up and somewhere you just decided to stop asking for what is it you want you stop you know maybe somebody said stop being so selfish you can't do that.

Oh you want to be president you can't do that or you want to be a firefighter you can't do that no one you want to go and be a doctor no one is families even graduated college you can't do that you come from a bad part of town.

You're not the right person you're not from the right part of town you're not the right skin color you're not the right sex and people tell you what it is that you can and can't do and a lot of times we just accept it and we just do whatever it is that we feel like we're supposed to do in life versus actually what is it we truly want to do.
