It's also gonna be my number one goal for 2023 I'm going to live Every day of this next year as if I'm dying on December 31st I'm going to pretend I'm not gonna actually, you know, hopefully not die But I'm going to pretend like 2024 does not exist It will not it might exist for other people, but it's not gonna exist for me I'm gonna act like this is the very last year that I'm alive There is nothing after it. He gone after this. I'm gonna act like 2023 is the last year I'm gonna act like December 31st 2023 is the last year I'm gonna be live I did this in 2021 2022 now. I'm gonna do it 2023 because when you're going to die You don't do stuff that you don't want to do like if you knew This next year was the last year of your life What would you would you go into that shitty job that you hate so much? Or would you figure out another way to make money like if if I'm a if you're a father, right? And you know, oh my god I'm going to be dying at the end of this year and you know that you have a family You've got two kids. You've got a wife Would you go into that job that you hate and spend the majority of the waking hours of the next year of your life? Doing that or would you figure out a way not go robin e banks or anything like that? To cash in over the next year to make sure that you set your family up correctly Would you do would you stop spending your money on stupid stuff that you don't need? Would you make sure that you set them up? Would you make sure that you spend as much time with them as possible and be able to create the life that you want to Over the next year with them your life your your lens of the world Shifts when you think I'm gonna die You would not do anything that is not a full fuck. Yes, right as I always say if it's not a fuck. Yes, it's a fuck No, you would go through your day and say what is a full fuck. Yes. Is this job a full fuck? Yes, no All right I need to get out of it as soon as possible and find another way to make money and to not just make money But to make more money with my time So that I can help them out and make sure that they're set when I do leave You know think about everything that you do track every day Just take take one week where you take a journal with you throughout the entire week get a little teeny tiny journal It fits in your back pocket And I want you to write down everything that you do I want you to write down your morning routine is your morning routine of fuck. Yes, if not change it Is your breakfast is your route to work is the car you drive is your job at the people in your life Your co-workers your lunch your drive home your evening routines the time you go to bed the stuff that you do is All of that a fuck. Yes, and if it's not a full fuck. Yes, then it's a fuck No, you've got to get rid of it You've got to make a change if you go through your life with the lens of this is my last year on life What would you be doing differently? Really like grab out a pen and paper and say hey if 2023 was last year that I was alive And I was gonna die on December 31st 2023. What would I do over the next 12 months? What would I do differently this year? Then I did last year. Let's look back and look forward So let's look back on 2023 and let's look back in let's look forward into 2023 and keep what we want to keep Change what we want to change Because we go through life And I was listening I was listening to a podcast episode last night It's actually stevo if you guys remember stevo from jackass and he was saying not enough people think about the fact They're gonna die and because of that They just end up living mediocre lives where they don't do what they want to they don't create what they want to They don't love the way they want to they don't travel the way that they want to and they don't think about death enough And I agree with them I remember having this conversation my mom years ago and I was and I was like hey How often do you think about death and she's like I don't know maybe a couple times a month She's like how often you think about death. I was like maybe five to ten times a day and she's like what and I was like Not that I want to kill myself. That's not what I think about At all, but it's like I'm very aware of the impending doom. That's gonna be coming one day and That's you know stoic philosophy. They say you know think about death remember that you're going to die because that that Knowing that we're going to die is what is actually going to make you change your life is going to make you actually Change the way that you feel in the moment. You start thinking about things. You're like, ah, it's really not that big of a deal I have no big deal. It's I don't want to be and then you start thinking about your life You're like, I'm gonna die. Is this how I want to spend my life at this job Is this I want to spend my life this relationship? Is this how I want to spend my life doing this for money? Is this what I want to spend my life not traveling or whatever it is that you want and you start to look at life Through a completely different lens. You look at your job your relationship your friendships Everything through a completely different lens Like what are you doing that you don't want to do? And then why are you doing it? Write it all down track everything. What are you doing that you don't want to do? And then what are you not doing that you want to do? You know, like if I look if I look at what I do now Would I do the exact same things if this was the last year that I was alive? Yes, like if if I had a year left to live I feel like I've got a lot of knowledge in my mind that helps people This is why I really started the podcast because I felt obligated to teach it because I had Traumas that happen to me in my childhood And through personal development through self exploration and through everything that I've done I feel like I've overcome a lot of my traumas By by growing myself. And so I felt obligated to teach this to other people. So Would I be doing the exact same thing I'm doing now? Hell yes Because I want to leave some form of a legacy where it's like, hey Even when I'm gone these podcasts will still exist the YouTube videos will still exist All that stuff will still exist on the internet until the internet disappears Or until things change and so I would still feel like I'm doing something good even after the time that I'm here So for some of you guys you might be like, man, actually I would start a podcast Because there is these things that I want to help people with and change and shift in my life And so maybe that is something for you. I remember one of my good friends Was talking about the legacy he wants to leave and he didn't have any kids at the time and he was talking about how He wants to leave a really good legacy And he was talking about how he he wanted to start a podcast. This is probably about four years ago and I was like Okay, we'll start a podcast a year later. He's like, oh, I still want to start a podcast a year later He's like, I still want to start a podcast. I was like, dude, it's been two years. You've been telling me I want to start a podcast. Why aren't you starting a podcast? He's like, oh, I don't have time to do it I was like, hey If your wife was pregnant right now And you knew you had a son that was going to be born But he was not going to Ever meet you like maybe something happened before with with you like you died before She gave birth to him. What would you do differently? Like would you create a podcast? And have that be the way that he learns who you were and actually be able to find the lessons of life that you've learned throughout your life And he's like, oh, yeah, hell yeah If I if she was pregnant and I knew that I was not going to ever meet him because I was going to die before I would create so many podcast episodes And it would be life lessons and how I deal with this and just like tips and tricks So he would be able to listen to them and to learn from it and I was like So what are you doing? Why do you just continue to keep not giving the world your knowledge? Because he's super smart guys been through things and he can really help people And it really woke him up and he started a podcast after it was just like, oh my god Like I do have stuff that I want to bring to the world I do want to bring my knowledge out and that would be a legacy that I could leave I'm like do it So maybe you if you know, what would you be what are you not doing now that you would want to be doing? Maybe it's creating a podcast. Maybe it's travel to certain places. Maybe it's create your own job Maybe it's develop relationships the way that you truly want to instead of focusing so much on business Maybe it's like, hey, I'm going to focus more on my family. I'm going to focus more on my relationships Right and so what you want to do is you want to look at that and remove everything in your life That is just not a full fuck. Yes Anything that's just like meh. It's okay You got to remove and then say okay now that I've got more free time because I'm removing a lot of stuff That's not a hell yes for me What do I want to put in there? So what am I doing now that I don't want to be doing and what am I not doing that I want to be doing And you start to actually build a life that you want because you do get one life Hey, I'm I'm in my my studio recording this podcast. There's a chance I could go home And I could be you know hit by a car on the way home. It's a full-on chance that that could happen Why would I not do anything that doesn't light me up? Like I've never understood that I've never understood why people and the reason why I can say this is because I remember When I was 15 years old and my father passed away and I remember Not to get too graphic, but I remember walking into the room Of the actual place before you know the wake before everybody came in to to see him and all this stuff and I remember seeing him And it was it was like myself my mom my sister my grandmother, which was his mom And I think that was it. I think it was just the four or five of us who were in this room And I remember looking at his dead body and being like He didn't do everything he wanted to do My dad was a dreamer. He was a person who you know, he passed away when he's 49 years old He was a dreamer. He wanted to do things. He talked about I wanted to do things But he didn't and I and nothing against him But I remember looking at him and being like that's not going to be my life Like I will not get to the end and and not I want my last breath to be like Oh man, you fucking did it like you made this life amazing Like that's what I want my last breath to be like not regret So I remember being there and looking at his body and being like that won't be me I won't get to the end of my life and wish that I would have done more I won't get to that in my life and wish I would have done something different Like I'm going to fucking live this one fully And so I've never really understood why people just go through life as if they're not gonna Die like I don't get why people go through life And not do what they want to do or work a job that they hate Like I understand if you hate your job and you're paying the bills for your family You've got to pay the bills, but you don't have to be there forever Like you could come up with a transition plan to transition over the next two years to do something different to Figure out a way to like there's no excuse for people. There's a way there's Millions of ways to make money online Figure it out do what you want to do We live in the best time to be alive like you can make money and travel the world And be with your family and spend more time with your your spouse and more time with your children and All of that, but it takes your time and attention to create that life And so what I really want to wake you up to is if this was the last year of your life And you knew it was going to be ending December 31st 2023. What would you do differently? That's what I want you to do and create that form of life.
