Live Today With Passion: Jack Canfield "Make a list of a hundred and one things
you want to achieve before you die now
we're sharing this with someone last
night he said God that just seems like a
really big task I'm a single mom I don't
have any time when I'm gonna do that we
know that one of the things about high
achievers they all have goals only ten
percent of americans set goals every
year ten percent i'm going to sales
conferences people that are the learning
stuff hear it over and over how many
10-percent we also know the same three
to ten percent controlled ninety percent
of the resources of the world so
literally without goals your
directionless you will be used to people
without goals get used by other people
who have them people that don't have
goals work for people who do and so you
want to be someone who picks up and gets
clear about what you want
make a list hundred ones i want to go to
Paris I want to you know skydive I want
to bungee cord jump I want to play the
guitar I want to learn to juggle I want
to learn to magic tricks for the kids I
want to go to the olympics in beijing
whatever it is make the list and you'll
see there's a lot of stuff under there
that you kind of put down that you want
and you can have anything you want
let's talk about your life's mission
your life's purpose what you're here to
do if you know what that is phenomenal
that's incredible and and
congratulations so few people will ever
find that but I also want to grab a
little bit if you think you know what it
is and also make it ok if you don't know
what it is
there's this big mitt that all of us
have to have this one narrowly defined
mission on the planet and I'm not sure
that that's so true and if you track it
back into the times of philosophy or
trackback in times of no more of the
modern era you start to see it really
started to emerge as a big conversation
really around that time when you know
people were supposed to be apprentices
in little villages that time they're
really animated in in the popular
culture was when he was all about the
Industrial Revolution figure out your
niche your skill the thing that you're
supposed to do and I don't see that as
relevant today
we have so many people who are doing
multiple passion projects that they're
deeply engaged with they find meaningful
they find fulfilling and they're
difficult to put on a business card as
one thing I actually believe that as
cultures continue to become more
developed as the worldwide global sort
of phenomenon happens of freelancers of
very flexible workplaces and work ideas
that will start seeing more and more
people getting away from this idea that
they have to be one thing you don't have
to be or do just one thing a lot of the
great leaders scientists thought leaders
of the past they did lots of things they
have lots of goofy passions Einstein
didn't just do one thing he actually had
an incredible diversity of interests so
did Leonardo DaVinci and so did
Michelangelo so does Bill Gates I mean
come on it's like very few people have
just this one thing they might become
known for one thing but as you see the
more wealth someone gets or more
influence they get the more they tend to
diverge out into multiple areas of
interest that draw their passion and his
hardness is fine
what's their one mission today with so
many opportunities i think it's not
about just one mission because you have
lots of missions that you go on in your
life but rather it's about finding
messages that are important to you know
things that you say I believe in that
message and i'm going to support in
every way I can and I believe in this
over here too i'm gonna support in every
way that I can't and I believe in this
project i'm going to support in every
way I can
those are it's important have a
diversity of interests and admissions in
life I believe but to those who say know
that you got to have this one thing I
bring it i feel so lost and confused i
got to have a thing what's my thing well
here's some ideas for you
first and foremost if you're looking for
one defined mission in your life make it
this to live the best quality of life
that you can
and what that means is it's going to be
not just focusing on one thing it's
going to look at your overall life what
i mean by that well when you think about
your life there's so many areas of your
life right you've got your health
you've got your relationships you've got
your intimate relationship if you have
one you've got your finances you've got
your spirituality and your practices
you've got your hobbies
you've got you know your ability to do
something to to have a job or career or
mission or purpose
you've got all these seven or eight
major areas of your life
I think that everyone's mission should
be how can i grow in each of those areas
and live each of those areas by my own
standards by my own ambitions
contributing what I really desire in
this area
how can i optimize my health how can i
optimize what I do during the day
how can optimize my relationships is
that idea that we can all grow and
develop a greater level of self-mastery
in all areas of our life and often tell
people if you start optimizing all the
different areas of your life the mission
begins to emerge because we'll have to
go through to improve each of those
areas of your life will start connecting
with new learning new ideas new mentors
new role models and in that process
you'll start to see more things because
you know it's hard to have a mission in
life if you've never seen anything so
when I always telling high schoolers are
college graduates like go out and seats
up see the world go explore a little bit
it's hard to say well here's our
supposed to do if you've never seen
anything so go try a bunch of different
things i would say also follow your
interests if you're deeply curious live
in your off hours you're paying
attention to photography or use find
yourself always so fascinated by this
one topic whether it's fashion or music
or the arts or whether it's geeking out
and coding on cool stuff it's like
whatever it is that you're just
passionately interested in that interest
might develop into a calling
that interest might be worth exploring
that my interest like go down the
wormhole
don't be scared of it like oh wow I'm
really i'm interested in this for some
reason i wonder if i can do an
internship on that i would if i could
get a job in that and really or do
something to earn some revenue doing
something like that like really get
passionate about your interests and as
you do that you'll start to find out
what's really right for you and
sometimes after doing something right
for you long enough and being rewarded
for it you say this is my thing
this is what I'm supposed to show that
last idea is that if you can free
yourself at this point in your life to
allow yourself to transition from one
thing to another
you're more likely to find the mission a
lot of people never find the mission if
that really exists because what ends up
happening is they get stopped and
blocked and stuck into doing one thing
and they're scared to transition those
who tend to find their real mission if
you talk to them they transition to a
lot of different things they had a lot
of different interests and they weren't
scared to bounce from one job to another
one career or company to another one
passionate pursuit to another another
they tried a lot of things they had a
lot of resilience and a lot of
self-reliance and trying new things and
bouncing back from those things that
didn't work and so if you just feel
totally stuck and I just have no idea
i'm supposed to do then what you're
supposed to do is change if you're at
that place where just like I'm so
confused about what I'm supposed to do
you need to shift you need to get into
your heart into your head and your
spirit and say what would be something
that would draw my passion right now
what can I be really interested in and
bounce go to that thing
try that thing really get into it
because if you're stuck you're never
going to find it
oh and and bonus idea for you if you
don't know what your mission is you
pursued all your passions gone down the
wormhole of your interest you've seen
the world and you still don't know what
you're supposed to be doing a simple
thing
ask how you can help sometimes we think
we're going to figure it out and in some
esoteric amazing moment of who I found
my calling or my passion like sunday
we're gonna walk out the door and the
piano purpose lands on you it might not
happen that way you might not actually
be able to figure out your mission or
your purpose until you serve until you
help people so on your personal journey
to try and figure out what you're
supposed to do
don't forget to stop and ask others how
can I help do you need anything
sometimes in those moments of service
and helping other people we get our
greatest levels of transformation and
Clary i hope that serves you and i hope
that you find a little piece of your own
mission in this world whether it's
multiple missions or it's one message or
multiple message or it's one grand
unifying thing that enlivens you
everyday
whatever it is once you feel like you
have taste of those once you know you
have some of those follow them put your
whole heart into it go at with full
excitement and engagement and you'll
start to have a week all the charge life
