Think about what you would have in an ideal world.

What kind of balance in your life would you have?

What kind of social things would you want to be doing?

How fulfilled would you be?

And what kind of hard work would it require for you to have that further down the line?

Now I'm not talking about things that absolutely are not within your control.

You might want three kids, but that might not happen for you.

You might want, you know, a marriage by this time.

So I'm not talking about specific like five year plans.

I'm talking about when I'm 40, roughly, what do I want my life to be feeling like?

Do I want that peace of mind and balance?

Do I want to have that high pressure, high intensity career where it's like, you know, being a business person, go, go, go, go, go.

Do I want, like, what does it look like from an energy level perspective, from a free time perspective, from like a family or a social perspective?

And it starts giving you an idea of like, if I'm so clear on what I want, how much of what I'm doing now kind of measures up or aligns with that.

Okay.

Because you can't, otherwise you're just going to be going one day after another.

Days tick away quicker than we realize.

And then it's a year down the line and you're like, oh,

Well, I knew I wanted that, but I keep thinking, oh, it's so far into the future.

It doesn't matter.
