This week we’re going to focus on something simple, but very difficult and very big. We’re going to talk about what you want in life. Now, of course, there are probably a lot of things you want so let’s get more specific.

I want to talk about what you want in life as it relates to how you’re wired, what your unique gifts are, and what you value.

If you want to have a 10K square foot house, a Lamborghini, and a vacation house in Maui — that’s fine — but I’m not talking about that. Those might eventually be benefits of exercising your skills, but that’s not what this week (or this course) is about.

I want this course to help you fully embrace who you are, live out your values, and wake up every day with purpose and motivation. This is really about designing a vision for your life and taking small steps toward that vision with the wisdom curated from various life-changing books. Creating this crystal clear vision requires 2 parts.

First, you need to decide what you value in this season. And then second, you need to decide what that looks like on a daily basis and then write it out.

This week, we’re going to focus on what you value and even give you some simple activities to help you figure out what you really want in life. By the end of this week, you should be able to create a vision statement that will help guide you in your habit design. For now, I’ll share what my sounds like and feel free to get started on yours.

What I Value: My faith, My wife & family, My friendships, Physical health, Personal growth, Leadership, Writing/Communication, Entrepreneurship/Marketing

What I Want: My faith to be strong, my relationships to be healthy, my body to be healthy, my mind to be growing, my influence and trust with my team to be in increasing, my writing/communication skills to be utilized, and my professional ventures to make a positive impact for those I serve and provide for my family.

Vision Statement: I (Tyler Speegle) am a child of God and a devoted and present husband, father, and friend. I seek God first in all that I do and filter everything through that lens.

I spend time every day creating value (with my writing, business ventures, etc.), taking care of my body (exercising 30 min. daily & calorie tracking), and investing in my personal & spiritual growth (scripture, prayer & meditation, 30 min reading books).

This is a simple exercise, but it does require clarity of mind. Start with what you value, think about what you want, and then write it out in the most quantifiable and actionable way possible ensuring that those actions are “daily” in nature.

You got this!
