Living on Purpose

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,800 So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society, 2 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:29,000 who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 3 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000 So that is the question and this show gave you the answers. 4 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:47,000 This is James Raitzinski and this is the Ascend Momentum Show. 5 00:00:47,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Welcome back everybody. 6 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Today is a good day. Yesterday I failed my task of not reading until I got ten leads. 7 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:33,000 I failed and I read and I read all day today and I plan on reading after this also. 8 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:54,000 I'm not sure if it's holding me back that I read. I'm not sure because on the one hand I'm learning how to move forward way more efficiently and better, 9 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:10,000 but on the other hand I'm not moving forward at all. So it's kind of a this or that. 10 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000 I want to talk about something that I learned. 11 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Something that I kind of knew but I didn't really put it to words until I read this in the E-Meth Revisited. 12 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:53,000 In that book he said that you have to push your comfort zone. You have to push outside of your comfort zone to grow for business and your false beliefs. 13 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Don't listen to your false beliefs and be aware of your false beliefs. 14 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Stay conscious of them and notice them when they pop up. 15 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:26,000 That really stuck out to me because I have a lot of false beliefs and I a lot of the time let it control my life. 16 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Another thing that Michael E. Gerber said in his book, The E-Meth Revisited, is to live life on purpose, not by accident. 17 00:03:42,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Live life intentionally. Don't let life live you. If you really sit down and think about that, that is a seriously important quote. 18 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000 To live life on purpose. 19 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:36,000 I kind of connected the two of my false beliefs and living life on purpose. In order to live life on purpose, you have to recognize your false beliefs and come up with a plan of action to go around them or disregard them. 20 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Or at least rewrite their story to the truth. 21 00:04:42,000 --> 00:05:11,000 That's really what marketing is. You're rewriting your customers' false beliefs and rewriting it with the truth. Whether it's their inner capabilities, their outer constraints, or the vehicle, the offer that you're offering. 22 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:23,000 The thing that you are offering, your product, your service, whatever that is. 23 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:35,000 But today's lesson is to live life on purpose. In order to do that, you have to stay present and stay aware. Stay awake. 24 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:47,000 That is one thing that I've been working on. It connects with everything in life, in self-improvement, everything. Staying awake, staying present. 25 00:05:47,000 --> 00:06:07,000 I'm really focusing on staying present for the entire day. Every day I'm getting more and more present. Longer and longer. 26 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:23,000 That's why I'm going to reread reality-transurfing. I'm not really sure if it's been a couple months since I read it, but I'm not really sure if it talks about staying present. 27 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:43,000 But 100% is a book on your thinking, on how you think. If you can stay conscious about how you think, and think on purpose, think intentionally. That is a huge skill to have. 28 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:55,000 It's not a trait because you have to practice it, you have to work on it. That's why I'm really focusing on my mindset, my mental, my thought process, my thinking patterns. 29 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Everything to do with inside of my head. I'm focusing on that because if you can stay focused, stay present, all of this, then you can achieve anything in business, in self-improvement, in life. 30 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:34,000 That's why cutting out social media, staying off the phone, limiting screen time is just so important and so vital. 31 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:56,000 Tick-tock, social media, all of this stuff that we're consuming every day, fragments our focus, and it turns us into zombies. It makes us stay asleep. 32 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:08,000 And we're trying to stay awake, but if we're on our phones all day, we're asleep all day, we're not living life on purpose. 33 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:35,000 We are... Sorry, someone just walked by. I really have to find a more private area to do this. 34 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Maybe the park. That would be good. I switched to my backyard. 35 00:08:46,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Honestly, I'm really self-conscious about self-improvement and talking about it with other people. That's why I just kind of stopped talking just now. That's why I'm talking quietly right now because I've become self-conscious. 36 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:40,000 But why? Why am I self-conscious? That's one thing I... That's another benefit to being present and being awake. It's because I'm awake and I've noticed that I just got self-conscious because someone walked by. 37 00:09:40,000 --> 00:10:08,000 So now I get to think about why and really deconstruct why I'm self-conscious about self-improvement. Why am I ashamed? I don't know the answers yet, but I'll come up. I'll find the answers out. 38 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:25,000 So that is an example of real-life, real-time example that you guys just got to experience. I was doing my thing talking to you guys. 39 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:52,000 And then somebody just walked by and I immediately stopped and was scared and ashamed. But usually that would have happened and then I would have just gone on with my day and let life live me and live life accidentally. 40 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:19,000 But since I'm present and I'm aware and I get to live life on purpose, I realized what was happening and how that was not a great... And I'm now aware of my feelings. 41 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Alright everyone, have a great day. That's going to be the end of the episode because I'm on edge and I need to think about it more. Think about what just happened. 42 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Okay, everyone have a great day.
