If I asked you to list out what you actually want in your life in terms of your lifestyle, your business and your relationships…would you be able to do it?
My guess is probably not.
Cause most people don’t know what they want (including me).
But one thing I’ve realized is that almost everyone has a good idea of what they DON’T want.
For example…
When it comes to my lifestyle, there’s a few things I know I DON’T want…
– I don’t want to have to do chores like washing dishes, yard work or cleaning my pool. None of that stuff is enjoyable for me. And I’d rather create another course, or do another mentorship and simply pay someone to do these things.
– I don’t want my day to be filled with calls, meetings and other appointments. I like to have a pretty open schedule, so as soon as my calendar is full of Zoom calls and other meetings, I tend to not enjoy my day-to-day.
– I also loathe having someone telling me what to do. I like my freedom, and even if I was making $10 million a year, I wouldn’t take a job where I had a boss breathing down my neck and telling me what to do. That’s not my cup of tea.
So I may not be clear on exactly what I want…
But I know for certain I DON’T want those things.
And you can do this same exercise for every area of your life.
Like for me with romantic relationships, I’m not sure exactly what I want in a woman…
But I do know a few things that I don’t like, such as…
– Entitled attitude – I’ve dated a few women who simply expected everything to be handed to them because they were attractive. This was a major turn off. And it’s not the type of woman I’d want to spend real time with.
– Masculine energy – I tend to be attracted to women who are very feminine (i.e. girly girls), so a woman who has a more masculine presence to her doesn’t do a whole lot for me
– A woman with kids (or who wants to have kids) – I dont have any interest in having kids. I thought I would as I got older, but I’m 38 now and still don’t want kids. I’m open to that changing, but as of now a woman that wants to have kids and a family is not a good fit for me
I could go on and on with this…
But you get the idea.
If you don’t know what you want in life…
At least get clear on what you DON’T want.
Cause it’s like a shortcut to figuring out what you do want.
So I highly suggest you give it some thought.
Hope this was helpful.
