7 Steps to Get Whatever You Want in Life

All right, all right. Welcome back to the Daily Mastermind. George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. We got a special topic for you today. I've been talking with a lot of different individuals in our group mastermind as well as some of my clients. And you know, I often find myself asking them this question, and that is, are you where you want to be in your life right now? And if not, why not? And what's funny is it leads me to a conversation many, many times where I talk to people about what their overall philosophy is in life. Because one of the challenges we have in this life is that we get caught up in everything around us. We get caught up in our work. We get caught up in our families and our relationships and obstacles and the environment and politics and all these kinds of things. And I find that the people that are the most successful, and not only that, but the most fulfilled and happy, they have a process. They have a life process that they go through. And one of my mentors, Robert Stuburg, who's no longer with us, he had a process that he called the Lifetime Success and Fulfillment Process that he took me through many, many years ago. And thousands of clients have gone through it while he was running Nightingale Conant and doing programs for Tony Robbins and many others. And this process is kind of a seven-step process that I thought maybe would give you some great value today. It's seven steps. Imagine, if you can, a path in life. And this path in life is going to get you from where you are to where you want to be. Where is it that you want to be? What is it that you want to accomplish in your life? Where do you want to go? And I want to draw two things to your attention. Number one, remind yourself that it is a path, that it is a process. and being on the path and on the process is the point of everything that we're talking about on this mastermind. But the second thing is that you have to be on a path. If you're not on a path, then you're drifting, you're wandering. And the bottom line is you can't get enough of something you don't want. You're going to end up somewhere down the road that may not be where you want to be. So this lifetime success and fulfillment process, I think is so helpful. And it's, I love the simplicity of it. It's seven steps to truly get where you want to be. And the first step always starts out with the secret. The secret, which is the single most powerful idea in the world. And I think you know what that is. The secret is that your thoughts create your life Your thoughts create your life The most important thing that you have to understand is that what happens in your inner world gets created in your outer world and nothing in your life happens without your thoughts. And when you're in control and you're consciously driving your thoughts, you're creating. And when you're just drifting, then someone else is creating for you. Because make no mistake, somebody is creating your life. So the first step is your thoughts create your life. The second one is the questions. Because if we want to be able to control our thoughts, how do we do that? Where do thoughts come from? Well, they come from the questions that we ask ourselves. What are they thinking about me? How can I do this better? What do I want? Where am I going? What am I going to do? What's happening? These questions are what create your thoughts. So you have to ask yourself, what are the questions that are driving your thoughts? because we all have kind of a prime question. Some of us are constantly asking ourselves, how can I do this better? Some of us are asking ourselves, what are they thinking of me? But your thoughts are gonna be created by the questions you ask yourself. And the best way to shape your thoughts is to ask a better question, is to ask the right kind of questions. What do you want? What's important? Where do you wanna go? What do you wanna experience? Those questions are the most important thing. So when you start with your thoughts and you drive them with key questions, the third step is the emotion. Now, the ultimate condition we are all looking for in this life is your emotions. I know you think it's that car, that house, that job, that relationship, that lifestyle, that recognition, but all those things really do are bring you emotions. Let's think about it for a second. Having those things, those material things, they just make you feel better. They make you experience life differently. Having that great relationship is going to make you feel love, feel validation. Maybe it's the emotions that you want to avoid, like stress and anxiety and depression. Maybe it's the emotions you want to attract. But the bottom line is you have to decide proactively what emotions you want to create in your life. If you don't do that, you are not going to create the life that you want to live. You've got to create your emotions. you've got to identify the emotions that you want to create in your life. Then what you want to do, now that you've got your thoughts, your questions, your emotions, the most important thing I think that you can do to really drive your future is to identify your talent. And that is your ability, your unique ability. And all of us have a unique ability. All of us have a unique ability that something that you know we talk about things that we incompetent at or things we competent at or things that we want to do things that we believe we would be better at But your unique talent is that thing that you're excellent at and passionate about. And we all have unique talents. What's that thing that you love doing that you lose track of your time that you do and you excel at? What is that unique talent? When you can identify your unique talent or ability and create your life around it in service of others, you're going to go next level. There's no question. So as you start to develop your unique talent, and by the way, that's something that's sometimes difficult to find. So don't get frustrated with yourself if you can't figure it out. That's why we have coaches and mentors because they can help you to identify and to develop your unique talent. But the next step, the fifth step is the goal. The goal is what will give you meaning and satisfaction. The goal is the thing that you want to accomplish that will create meaning and satisfaction. Not the goal at work, the goal for money, the goal for that. The goal is what you want your life to be like. I've had this question asked to me by one of my mentors back in the day, because we all used to, you know, we hear the concept, what do you want to do when you grow up? What do you want to do for a living? What do you want to be? And all those things. and back to that second point I mentioned, ask a better question. Ask the question, what do you want your life to be like? You know, I know so many professionals that want to be doctors or dentists or, you know, these high-paid careers and then they have no time and no life and they're unhappy and they're overworked and stressed and have liability insurance and all these things. You've got to ask yourself what you want your life to be like because now more than ever, there's a million ways for you to get there. So you've got to get a goal that will give you meaning and satisfaction. And then, then you can start talking about the formula. And the formula is the part that I think we can talk about this next week that I think you'll really dig into. Because once you have a goal and you've identified these other key factors, there's a formula, a unique formula that Robert talks about that will help you get what you want. and it's a process of five things. Clarity, purpose, strategy, priority, and action. That's the equation that will help you, the formula that will help you get whatever you want, whatever your goal is. Clarify, what is it you want? Discover why you want it. That's your purpose. Why do you want it? Then develop a strategy to accomplish this and there's a million ways to do that but generally you want a pattern after somebody that already done it your strategy then you got to create priorities your priorities what needs to be done first and what the most important thing and then take action every single day Take action every single day towards your goal. And then the final step, and this is one that it kind of sounds simple, but the final step is the path. The path is your journey of lifetime growth and abundance. and you know a life is worth what a life that's worth living is worth living in the present don't let your vision of the future rob you of the joy of the present and so this lifetime success and fulfillment process although it seems simple it's a way to ground yourself back and say i understand my thoughts create my life what questions are driving my thoughts right now on a day-to-day basis and what are the emotions that i want to create what's my unique talent that i can hone in on, what's ultimately the goal I want to accomplish, and the formula to get me there, and then how do I continue to grow along this path and realize that it's not about the destination, it's about the path, it's about the process. So I give you this thought and this step and this series of steps that create a process because it's something I think you can use to latch onto to really question various aspects of your life and determine, are you where you want to be? And if not, why not? What's holding you back? What is it you need to do to identify one of these core areas that I talked about that'll take you closer to where you need to be? And don't just get caught up in the formula, this idea of clarity and purpose and strategy. Take a step back for a minute and find out what's driving your thoughts and your emotions. What do you want to accomplish life. That's the purpose of this Daily Mastermind. It's to keep you in that framework of awareness. It's to keep you in that goal of creating your best life. It's never too late to start living your best life. I believe that. But you've got to take action. You've got to be aware and you've got to be a conscious creator of what you're doing. And so that's what my goal is. I hope that's helped you. I hope that you will do me a favor and share this episode, but share your thoughts with me. I would like to know how you're doing, what you're doing, and how I can help you. And you can hit me up on The Daily Mastermind on Facebook or Instagram.
