Episode 169 - Go Ahead and Hate Me
How are you creating a meaningful and powerful life?
In today’s episode, Kellan talks to us about the naysayers – the people in your life, including yourself, who try to discourage you from doing the things that you want and need to do to create your own ultimate life. We try to get approval from others when, in fact, we are responsible for our own lives and happiness.
When people are stuck living in a rut, it creates problems and increases frustration – in search of their Ultimate Life: a life of purpose, prosperity, and joy. This requires us to believe in our talents, and ourselves, and to use those to serve others.
‘Serving’ others and ‘pleasing’ others aren’t the same things. Which are you doing?
Key Takeaways:
- Sometimes when you’re trying to do what you want to do, you have people around you who object to that. Sometimes it happens in your mind as well.|
“I spent energy trying to prove to myself and others that I was okay – it’s never enough. Whomever you’re trying to impress never tells you that you are, in fact, okay.” - If you don’t try and create answers for the hard questions, you end up in a frustrating circle where you can’t decide what you want to do or that what you’re doing is right.
“There are lots of ways you could describe it, but what it really is, is people looking for their ultimate life – a life of purpose, prosperity, and joy that they create serving others. Often you don’t know that’s what you’re looking for.” - “You and you alone are responsible for your life.”
- “We’re responsible to serve others, but we’re not responsible to please everybody.”
“If you do the work and you’re in touch with who you really want to be as a person, you know when you are serving someone and when you’re ‘pleasing’ them.” - “If you want to create Your Ultimate Life, then you must believe in yourself.”
- “You’re going to fail, and you’re going to fall on your face. So what? So did every single person that ever tried to do this.”
- “When you decide what gifts and talents you have that you’re going to use to serve others, then every day is a joy; it’s exciting and full of love.”
- “You can’t create your ultimate life in the context of only pleasing others.”
