Folks, I've got a suggestion for you today I think you're going to find fun
and beneficial
all at the same time.
In previous videos,
I've giving you suggestions
on how to identify
the elements,
the components,
that you can add to your life
to create happiness and success.
I'm going to give you another one today.
All you need for this exercise is
your phone, a tablet, computer,
or sheet of paper, and something to write with,
your preference there,
and little bit of time.
And what we're going to do, and this is the fun part,
sit down and think about
times in your life when you would say,
Craig, I really had it going on,
everything in my life was going well.
Whether you characterize that as,
man my life was really clicking,
everything was really flowing,
I was like a well-oiled machine.
I don't care how you characterize it.
In your estimation,
your determination,
you're saying to me,
Craig, things were going really, really well.
It was a good time for me.
And we're going to take those,
and hopefully we have more than one,
but let's take the first one.
And then, kind of dissect it,
dive a little bit deeper,
and identify in it,
everything that you had going on in your life at that time.
Where you were in your relationships,
where you are living,
how you were spending your time,
who you were spending your time with,
what was going on with your job, everything.
What your mental attitude was.
And you're going to write all that down
and then hopefully you have a second event in your life,
a second time in your life
where can do the same thing
and a third time.
If you can come up with three,
that's great.
Let me give you a suggestion
on what I mean by that,
my recipe for success
contains these ingredients:
number one, by far,
is staying strong physically.
So, my exercise program, to me,
is the most important thing on my list.
It's got an additional benefit to it,
beyond just feeling
physically strong,
and that is when I'm physically strong
I'm also mentally strong
and emotionally strong.
So, it translates into me being
more patient,
more persistent,
more courageous,
beyond being just physically in good shape.
Another element
to my success formula
is that I quiet the time,
shutdown,
disconnect,
get off the grid.
Whatever you want to call that,
some quiet time in my life to me,
is very important.
As is eating healthy,
as is hanging out with people
who I really enjoy their company,
as is doing meaningful work
and
playtime
is very important to me.
All those
are on my recipe
for success.
So, when I am
feeling down,
feeling like life is not really kind of flowing the way I want it to,
it's not going in the direction maybe I want it to
it is a very simple process
for me to pull out the list
of the ingredients
to my success formula
and
compare them
with where I am in life right now.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist for me to figure out,
Gosh,
there's a bunch of stuff over here
that I don't see in my life right now.
How am I going to get it back?
Just because you identify it
doesn't mean you can automatically add it back,
but the fact that you identify it
is the first step to you saying putting it kind of on the front burner,
and say
you know, when I get a chance, I need to add more them back into my life.
So, there was a time in my life,
when I had tons of meaningful work.
I actually kind of had too much work
and that I was working so much,
it was eating into my exercise time
and I wasn't spending as much time with my friends
and playtime, well forget about it that wasn't happening at all.
And all I had to do is identify that and say
how am I going to put that back in my life?
So let's go back to the list that you have created.
You've taken three times in your life
and you've dissected them
and identified
all the things that were in your life at that point in time.
Now we're going to compare the three lists.
Is there any line item
that is on
all
three
lists?
And you say, Yep there's one right there,
it's on all three lists.
Well, we're going to pull that off.
We're going to put it on our fourth list
which we're titling
this is our Recipe for Success.
Here are all the ingredients.
Now, if it happens to be something like,
you were spending time with
a person,
call it person "A",
and on list number two,
it was person "B",
and on list number three...
It's not a matter of the individual person,
what you would extract
to put on your recipe for success is,
I was spending time
with somebody who was significant in my life,
as opposed to the individual person.
Similar to
jobs,
maybe I had a job
in number one
that I really, really enjoyed
and then I changed jobs,
but I really enjoy that one.
And then, I changed jobs again
and I really...
It's not a matter the individual jobs.
What you put on your master list is,
I had a job
that was meaningful to me,
significant,
and I really enjoyed it.
And so, if you do that with things that are on all three lists,
depending on how many you come up with,
you may have to go back to your list and say
Now, is there anything that's on
two out of three lists?
Cause two out of three ain't bad.
And I'll pull those off,
and put those on my master list.
And that exercise
is going to get you
a list of
what I call
ingredients
in your recipe to success.
These are the things I've just identified,
that when I have them in my life,
life's going pretty well.
So there's a good chance,
if I were to compare that list to my life right now
and there's something that's missing,
maybe I would think about adding that back in
to increase my enjoyment
and happiness
and success in life.
So, folks
that's my perspective,
what's yours?
