About This Class

Start analyzing yourself, ask yourself a lot of questions on what kind of persion you are. There are a lot of people that don't have a passion or don't know what to do with their life. They are lacking curiosity and prefer to not go after their interests. The laziness usually stems from playing video games, watching Netflix, etc. If you do all those things then you won't see any improvement.

Transcripts

1. Intro: Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. My name is kept in Austin and welcome to this course. In this course I will share with you a superpower, the power of curiosity. And yes, it is a superpower. This course is for those debts. Don't really know what to do with their lives. The kind of people that find it difficult to figure out what their passion is. It is for those that know what they do with their life, but don't really know how to do it. Curiosity teaches you how to get more out of life in all kinds of situations, such as when life gets difficult, for example, it teaches you not to give up. When you don't give up, new doors open. Live just feels better when you are curious. In general, you will find it easier to solve problems. Solve problems. Any kind of situation, difficult situation. But you can imagine, in this course, I will talk about you. If you in general are a curious person. I will talk about when life gets difficult, you won't give up. If you are curious person. Live just feels better when you are curious person. And I will talk about something that I would call a five year plan. So if this is something that you find interesting, then stick around. 2. Are you a curious person?: Are you curious person? When you wake up in the morning? When you look at yourself in the mirror, what kind of person do you see? Are you happy with what you're seeing? Do you even have a good feeling? When you wake up? Are you happy about starting to date? Start analyzing yourself, ask yourself questions about what kind of person you are. And also ask yourself what kinds of interesting things that can happened throughout the day. Ask yourself, what kind of person you are. What do you actually like to do in life? What makes you happy? What puts a smile on your face? These are the kind of question that you need to keep asking yourself. Day in, day out, month in month out. You're in, you're out. You need to ask yourself these questions all the time. I find interesting that there are a lot of people that are so much, they are so focused on becoming somebody else. For me, it's, it's very strange. Why should you become someone else if you can become a better version of yourself? So this is something that you should definitely start working on, even if you don't like yourself, it doesn't mean that your current self is gonna stay the same for the rest of your life. You can figure out, like start analyzing yourself, look at yourself, and decide on things that you wanted to better on yourself. It's actually a possible, maybe are not a healthy person may be, your love life is lacking. Maybe you are overweight. Maybe your sense of fashion is it's horrible. What you can basically do is you can start asking yourself questions on how you can improve these things that you don't like about yourself. And if you keep thinking about these things that you wanted to improve on, eventually you will realize that you will have an answer to this questions. 3. When Life Gets Difficult You Won't Give Up: When life gets difficult, you wouldn't give up if you are a curious person. If you are obsessed about something that really interests you, there will be difficult moments in life. There will be a lot of difficult moments and they will keep coming. Unfortunately, this is something that many people don't want to hear, but that's basically how life is. But like I've said before, the ones that never give up are the ones that are curious about something though. The ones that are actually obsessed about something that they want to achieve or something that they really believe in. No matter what situation they are in, their curiosity, their obsession about something will always provide them with a solution to a problem. When people have a goal in mind, they have a starting point and also a finish point in mind. They know what steps they have to take in order to reach the finish line. And even if something difficult might come their way, even if they will face many obstacles in the journey, will keep finding some kind of way or a solution to keep on going. Because they have this checkable confidence in their obsession in what they believe in. And this is basically what is a passion. For example, if there is something that you love, something that you desperately love, something that's on your mind all the time. You just won't give up no matter what it is. And when you are in this kind of space, you will be more positive person. And the funny thing is that you will realize that more doors will open up for you. When you are positive, you will find different ways on how to achieve your goal. Whereas if you are a negative person, if you have a negative mindsets, it closes you in. People always ask me, how come I able to speak several languages. People often ask me how I'm able to denser well, yes, I think I'm a good dancer. People often ask me how come I'm so fit? Well, it's very simple. For me. It's very simple. It's just that I'm very interested about those things. I'm very interested in dancing, I'm interested in fitness, working out. And I'm very interested in languages because, um, I like traveling and I like to understand other cultures. Because I am interested in those things. I often find myself looking for more information on how I can improve myself in those fields. I often, it's actually very simple. I just like to for myself on things that I love. I'm a very curious person. I'm curious by nature. And if you don't have a passion for something, but there'll be difficult for you to learn something. 4. Life just feels better when you are curious: Life just feels better when you are curious. Your mind is like a muscle. When you keep asking yourself questions. When you are not satisfied or when you don't have an answer to something that you need to know, you'll keep wanting more and more information. This kind of feeling will really make you feel life. Personally, I really feel alive when I think about something that I'm very passionate about. It is sort of making me feel restless as well. But I like it. I love it when I'm training my mental muscle, my thinking muscle. You might think that coming up with a solution for problem or any problem is an easy thing. No, it's not because the are actually a lot of people that don't like to think. Yes. Unfortunately, that's the case. If there is a problem or a situation that you need to solve, then you will have the confidence that you should think long enough. If you brainstorm enough about what it is that you actually want to solve, that answer will come to you. Or if you want to, you can also keep watching Netflix or play video games. I mean, That's a very easy thing to do. It, it requires no thinking at all. It's up to you. Basically, if you have a problem in life when it comes to financial health, love. If you're sitting at home all day watching videos, playing video games, then that's your fault. 5. 5 Year Plan: A five-year plan. This is something that has been on my mind for the last five months. And what this five-year plan basically is just something of a roadmap of how the next five years will look like. And I'm the kind of person that likes to live in the future. I'd like to plan things ahead. I started making this five-year plan for me because I don't like to go with the flow. So therefore, this plan, I absolutely hate going with the flow. Like I said, I wanted I wanted to be able to see things coming. I'd like to predict things. I want to have an answer to a problem that hasn't even happened yet, that makes me feel alive. So anyways, this five-year plan, it excites me when I think about the future. It really excites me when I think about the goals that I will be achieving in the five coming years for this five-year plan, which you can also make for yourself, there are several main goals, main areas for this set five-year plan, four main areas for a goal sayings. Number one, personal. Number two, financial. Number three, Career number for relationships. These are four things that you can basically focus on the next five years. There are several questions that you can ask yourself when it comes to setting goals. What do I want to change this year? Where am I living? How do I want to better myself? What steps do I need to take to better my financial security? What are some fun things that I wanted to do this year? And what kind of goals do I have for my family? So if you ask yourself these questions, then you can brainstorm your way for the next coming five years. And you will have some kind of blueprints on what you specifically want to focus on. It can be all the main areas that I recently mentioned, or it can be areas that you are still lacking in. For example, you might be lacking in when it comes to relationships. You might be lacking when it comes to financial. So you can focus on all these areas or just pick a few.
