Core Beliefs, Mission, and Life Purpose: Organizing Your Thoughts

All right, welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. Have an amazing day today. Make it a point to really take your day and create the energy that you want for your day. So let me start you off, and I know we're getting started a little late today. I've had a bunch of early morning meetings, but I definitely wanted to be able to bring you that foundation you need for mental discipline, consistency. And those are the things that are required for your best life. So the quote of the day today is from Benjamin Franklin. There's always going to be some nice words of wisdom financially from Benjamin Franklin. He says, Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship. And I can't tell you how often I have found individuals that I've mentored or worked with that, you know, they don't pay attention to the little things, the little expenses. And as I've always said, how you do anything is how you do everything. And if you don't pay attention to little things, you're not going to pay attention to the big things like you should. So that's a great quote. I really love it. One more thing I want to do for you today is I want to go through our 12 prosperity pillars because remember, these are not just 12 really cool things I put on a poster. These prosperity pillars are put together after two decades of working with some of the greatest thought leaders, experts, authors, celebrities, whatever it is. These are success principles that have been time-tested and proven. So as we go through these, I want you to really put some time and effort in your life into understanding and accepting and deciding to live these pillars. Because they create the foundation that you can use to go to the next level. So let me go through these. If you know them, you can kind of repeat them in your head. If not, maybe get yourself one of the free posters so you've got it in front of you. But I'm going to go through these with you today and I want you to just think about how you can apply these in your life. Let's get started. I create my life. I take personal responsibility. I act in spite of my mood. I surround myself with positive people. I focus on solutions. I create an attitude of abundance. I choose to be happy. I always think win-win. I am committed to lifelong learning I create daily rituals I attract success And the one that I know you need to spend more time on I visualize and manifest my life In order for you to create your best life you've got to know what it is you're trying to create. And you've got to spend time because what's created on the inner world is going to manifest itself on the outer world. So let me talk to you today. I know yesterday we talked a little bit about the lifetime success and fulfillment process by Robert Stubberg and the seven step formula, the seven steps that are key to go through that. And if you haven't listened to that episode, I encourage you to go back because we're going to build on that a little bit this week. I'm going to build on that. And I want to talk to you a little bit about the organizing principles in your life. What do I mean by the organizing principles in your life? Well, my mentor has always told me that what is it that you are using to create your perspective in your life? In other words, if our thoughts create our life, which they do, and we talk about where your thoughts come from, now you've got to take another perspective and you've got to say, what are the organizing principles that are driving your thoughts? What is it that you are thinking about every day? And so if you're not proactively thinking about what you want, you're going to be subjected to, you know, social media, the news, your environment, the people around you. So let's assume that because you're listening to this podcast and because you're focused on personal growth, that you are trying to be the creator of your life and you're trying to do what you can to direct your thoughts. So I ask you again, what is it that you are using to drive your thoughts? What are you doing? Have you written them down? Because I really believe you've got to write down your thoughts that you want to continue to focus on. You've got to write down your objectives, your goals, and we'll talk about that here in just a second. But I would like you to take some time and think and reflect and write down specifically what principles, what success principles, what clarity you need that you're going to drive, that you're going to focus your thoughts on every day. And let me give you just three examples that I've used and that I've gone through in my life that will help you as well. The first is your mission statement. What is your mission statement? What is it you're trying to accomplish in your life? What's the purpose of your life? What are you here for? What do you want to experience in your life What do you want to accomplish in your life What is it that you focused on What do you want to do to serve others and stay inside areas that you passionate about That your mission statement And we're going to talk about your mission statement a little bit on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on how we get to it. I want you to spend some time to develop a mission statement, and more importantly, a personal mission statement. What is it that you are trying to accomplish in your life? What is it that you feel is your purpose and your mission that you're trying to accomplish? You know, why are you here? What is it you want to experience? What are those emotions and values? The second thing is, have you written down what your life purpose is? Have you written down what your life purpose is? Now, we're going to talk about this a little bit later this week. But discovering what your life purpose is, I believe, is one of the most important things. and it's not this big, ambiguous thing that you think it is. I believe you can make a decision as to what your life purpose is. But I think you're set up for success if you make a decision for your life purpose to be centered around your unique talents and the things that you can do to serve and make an impact. And so creating a mission statement and then developing your life purpose are things I encourage you to write down and think through. And then finally, probably the most important thing is, what are your core beliefs? and just let me set this up by saying I know that your mission and your life's purpose and core beliefs they can evolve over time as you get more mature and you get more experience and more wisdom your core beliefs will change but remember life is filtered through our beliefs your perspective everything you you evaluate on a day-to-day basis is based on your core beliefs and it's like Dr. Joe Dispenza says, if your life is a recording of your past, if your beliefs and your thoughts are a recording of your past, and that's what happens, right? We get up in the morning. Immediately what we do is we start replaying things. We can't replay the future, so we're replaying the past. What's happened? What do you think about this? When you're confronted with a situation, your mind goes back to your past record of your life. But your core beliefs, your core beliefs are created subconsciously and consciously by your experience. But you can make decisions as to what you believe. You can make decisions and direction as to what you believe your core beliefs are because your beliefs are controlling your perspective and experience in this life And remember this you may say you believe a certain thing but if what you think you believe is not backed up by your behavior then it doubtful you really believe it. What do I mean by that? Well, you could say, I believe in physical fitness. I believe in, I can accomplish anything. But if your actions are not doing the things you know that take you closer to that, then it's doubtful you really believe it. Your actions have to back up what you say you believe or you don't truly believe it. So what I'm trying to really emphasize to you here today, we're trying to live on intention. We're trying to create our life and our business and relationships and personal growth. And in order to do that, you've got to be conscious of what your organizing principles are that you guide your life by. Your mission statement, your life purpose, your core beliefs. Don't just think about this. This isn't just an exercise and in ideas you need to sit down and grab a journal sit down and write down what you believe and I'm going to try to help you with that over the next couple of days because we're going to talk through how to create a good mission statement how to create your life's purpose and outline that and then determining your core beliefs so that's my message for today get intentional with what you're doing let's take it up a notch today let's get you focused on doing the right activities not just activities what is it that's going to lead you closer to your ideal life? What are your daily rituals that you're checking the boxes so you know that those are things not just to make you feel good, but are taking you closer to where you need to be?
