How To Get What You Want In Life – VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hi, this is Seth David Chernoff, award-winning author of the Manual for Living.Today, I’d like to talk to you about something significant. How we actually get from where we are to where we want to be?

You see, we all generally have dreams and desires…things that we want out of our life. Perhaps, it’s our physical well-being. Maybe it’s a financial prosperity that allows us to have freedom in our life. Maybe it’s a way that we relate to others, our relationships, our work-life. We generally have things that we want in our life, and we always have things that we don’t want as well. Maybe we don’t want death, we don’t want disharmony, drama, chaos…we try to move away from the things we don’t want and move closer tothe things that we do want. Yet, in order to move anywhere in our life, we have to be willing to let go of where we are.

So, today I want to give you some tools to how to get to that place without getting stuck in the minutia. You see, we often get stuck in the details. We are in a relationships that’s not everything that we want it to be. Yet, we don’t know how to get out of it. Or we’re in a job that really isn’t fulfilling us, yet we feel stuck and unfulfilled. So, let’s step out of the minutia into the bigger picture if you will. So, I want to give you some tools and strategies that you can apply to your life right now at no cost that will help you find that greater sense of happiness and fulfillment.

You see, we all want more at our life. We are all looking, we’re all seekers. Looking for something bigger, and better, and brighter for our life. You see, each of us is here for a reason. It’s not just chance or happenstance that we’re here. It’s not just a fluke that you happen to be watching my video. You’re looking for something more. We all are. But in order to find something more, we have to be willing to look honestly at our life where it is right now. And also be willing to look for something better or something more. And it doesn’t mean that you can’t accept where you are and be grateful for where you are. But you have a dream and desire that’s unfulfilled. You have to find a way to obtain and achieve that in order to find happiness and fulfillment.

So, I’d like to give you a tool and strategy you can apply right now. Here’s something you can do. Take a white sheet of paper, I happen to have one right here – it looks like this. I’m sure you’ve all seen one before. Nothingfancy about it, nothing on the front, nothing on the back. This sheet of paper represents your future present, your future life. It’s anything you want it to be, there’s nothing on it. Nobody can tell you what needs to be on this piece of paper. Only you know. And only you get to determine what gets on this piece of paper. But you see, in order to have a plan you have to first determine where you are going. What’s your destination? So this is the place you get to do that, and you’re going to do that in every part of your life.

For example, your physical well-being. Take a moment to list every part of your life that you’d like to have regarding your physical well-being. Would you like to be flexible, strong, have more energy, sleep less hours. Whatever it is, you’re going to put your goals down in the sheet of paper. Let’s say relating to your financial freedom. We all want freedom on our finances. We know that money can’t buy us happiness, yet we want the freedom that money can buy, so what is that look like for you? Well, write it down. What is financial freedom look like? Does it look being without debt? Does it look like having a nicer house, or car, or whatever it is? Write it down. Then cover every area of your life, your emotional well-being, your relationships, your work life, how you serve, how you live, everything that matters to you, and write down on this piece of paper.

Don’t get stuck in how you’re gonna get there, just focus on what it is. By writing it down, you’re basically setting a destination for your course in life. It’s kind of like if you’re sailing on the ocean, you’re on a beautiful sailboat and the waves are just rolling underneath the sailboat, you have to have some course setting for you to actually plan your life. And that’s what this is. The goal is for you to set that destination and little by little your life will unfold. I know if you’re anything like me you’ve been to tremendous challenges. And in the moment, you didn’t know how you gonna get through it. You just knew that you were stuck, and you didn’t know what decision to make, and you didn’t how to get from where you were to that next place in your life. Well, this is one of the best ways that I know to help you get there. You just write down what you’re looking for in your life. That’s all you do. It’s really not that hard, it only takes a few minutes. And once you have that written out, what you’re gonna do is reference it, as often as you need, to remember why it is that you do what you do, and what really matters to you.

You see, if we’re all looking for happiness and fulfillment, we have to be willing to let go of where we are in order to get to that place that get us closer to that sense of well-being and happiness. So, how do you do that? How do you actually take that step forward? Well, that can be scary. I know a lot of times change is scary, because where we are feels safe, mediocrity – feels safe, pettiness – feels safe, repeating the patterns of yesterday – feels safe. But doing something daring and risky, and moving forward in your life, and letting go of where you are, to get to where you want to be, takes courage, takes strength, and it’s everything that you’re hear to do and be. So, I hope you found this video useful. I hope you give me some feedback and insights on anything you’d like to hear about or have me to talk about in the future. And until next time, many blessings!
