There are 2 questions every happy LO can answer.
- Who are you?
- What do you want?
You would think these simple questions could be answered.
The reality is that most people can’t answer them.
Most people don’t really know who they actually are.
People don’t know who they are because they stopped asking themselves that question around age 12. From then on, life has been a series of copying other people who look like they have it all figured out. The problem is that you become a sausage… a mixture of all sorts of things that add up to a “something.”
The thing is… it doesn’t feel good to be a “something.” It feels good to be you and get what you want.
So, what do you want?
Another simple question that you stopped asking yourself at age 12. Instead, you started telling yourself to want things that other people want. But, how bad do you want that house and car really? Nobody changed their life buying a bigger house or their dream car. Nobody magically became happy after they crossed the 10-million mark.
Most of us don’t want things. We want to be the person we know we can be.
Our biggest fear is not living up to our full potential.
And houses and cars are not how you get there.
