Youtube daily life style Nov 30 2018

you are just not satisfied with maybe your body your friends where you live

your career you don't really like what's going on but where do you go what do you do

III get it I had a midlife crisis apparently

we all go through it we all go through it

thanks so much for tuning into our second act with Paige and Silke for your second act of

life hey Silke hi Paige well today we want to revisit a

subject we've talked about in you know to various degrees and that is well

reinvention some call it today we're gonna call it midlife crisis and you

know why that is or isn't bad you know as we go through this I know that you

have a take on it that we wanted to discuss so I'm gonna ship it over

to you so you know I think I'd start with you know what are some of the

causes that create midlife crisis besides being in your midlife with age

right so we have the societal messages about aging which can be pretty

frightening cuz they're not the best messages the fear of the aging process

oh my god who's gonna take care of me what if this happens to me what if you

know what if what if what if always living in the what ifs

the losses and you know we could have a loss at this age but it really is all

the losses that came before midlife and I'm not talking death I'm talking so

many different forms that lost come in you're going through a divorce or a

change in a relationship some course you've got to change with your adult

children now that doesn't feel comfortable or is not healthy or

whatever that might be career changes maybe you're done doing the same thing

you've been doing all this time financial challenges that's a huge one

you know how much more can I work to take care of myself when I get to be X

amount of age and then any kind of traumas that have occurred in your life

that you haven't dealt with like these are some of the causes that kind of come

together when we happen to be in midlife well and what

you know what is the difference really between a crises which you know implies

something very negative to a reinvention well I think like anything crisis gets

our attention but we shouldn't have to live by crisis for life to get our

attention it's about you know connecting to your knowing which I always say and

paying attention and be aware of what's going on that's why we're giving people

you know these are some of the causes so as we segue into that which is

perfect Silke let me talk about a little bit of the symptoms that you may be

experiencing you know you're just dissatisfied and you might not even know

why you're dissatisfied but things just don't feel as good as they used to maybe

your relationship isn't giving you what you want it to give you anymore

maybe you're feeling down and depressed you're focusing a lot more on your

appearance and everything has to be perfect oh my god I'm getting older you

are just not satisfied with maybe your body your friends where you live your

career but you don't know what to do with it you kind of feel stuck this all

feels kind of yucky you don't really like what's going on but where do you go

what do you do i I get it I had a midlife crisis

apparently we all go through it we all go through it to to the extreme I mean

to one extreme or another everybody does it differently and you know emotionally

they're you know the stages are think about it how many us deny I'm not in

midlife I'm not you know no I can still do this I can still run and do

triathlons this or that my body can still do what it wants I don't have

wrinkles let me just do some of this this this I'm good things aren't sagging

you know denial denial denial and then when we finally realize holy crap I'm in

midlife then it's easy to get angry and frustrated because what can you do about

it you're here and then sometimes you can get depressed and you can get down

because you see people younger than you doing this this and that and thinking oh

my gosh they're doing all that is there anything exciting and adventurous left

for me is there anything new for me that like a 20 year old in the 30 year old

are experiencing for the first time and then sometimes people withdraw and they

can really isolate which is not always a bad thing if you're withdrawing to kind

of figure out what's going on and reaching out for help and figuring out

and then we hope that on the other side you begin to embrace you begin to

transform and shift into what you want your second act to be like so crisis

midlife holy crap is it a bad thing no because things like

this force us to pay attention to shift and change those things that we haven't

shift and changed are those things that we haven't had time to to grieve or

figure out that maybe we can do now to step in and transform in our second

act see to me I think it's the recognition that life is finite that

there is an end to life at some point and we're getting closer and closer to

it and thus becomes that crisis thinking if you will that causes you to

re-evaluate and see if this is really you know am i living my purpose my

passion is do I want to go on like this and to me it's more you know the

reaction of how you handle it is what makes it you know good or bad you

know I mean in my case I could be described as the ultimate midlife crisis

I left a 25-year marriage and totally changed my life some people might say

well that's a crutch you know to me that's it was all very very positive so

I'm wondering are you you know what makes it healthy and what makes it not

so healthy and remember you're what you deem crisis for you can look very

different for someone else so it really is coming down to when you're in a

midlife of anything everything from years prior starts to cave in and the

reality of what you said oh my gosh I have less time in front of me and I have

more time and back of me but remember this we are all given the exact time

that we need to finish do what we need here in this lifetime

whether you want to believe that or not so if you're going oh my god I have to

do this as this this and this you'll become more scattered and not as focused

so go within it's okay if you have these feelings these emotions if you're going

through this feeling dissatisfied that's okay it's kind of like being an

adolescent again where you're having all this this stuff hit you you have to work

through it and I would suggest working through it with someone who can help you

go through what are the stages where are you now what are the losses what do you

want to shift and change and for women huh we have a double whammy because our

hormones are going crazy at this time too which exacerbates the feelings that

were having make sense it absolutely makes sense and

you know when we say the word midlife crisis of course right away what we

think of immediately we are at least I do think of a man in a Porsche you know

with somebody 20 years younger than him and that isn't that is one reaction I

suppose to you know dealing with whatever you want to do to improve your

life but I think what you're saying is or

I believe what you're saying is that really we have to work on ourselves and

then external things don't do anything to fix that external things have never

done anything to fix internal things at any stage of your life and it's not

gonna happen now it'll just be a short-term fix for a long-term issue

that's waiting and pleading for you to step into to go wow this can be better

than you imagined so it's okay if you have some fear while you're going

through it but at least you're stepping into it and exploring where am i why am

i dissatisfied what can I break down to figure out what's going on and what I

can do next because you're not dead yet

well and you know that that kind of leads us into what our next segment is

going to be on and talked about so you know facing your emotions and not

suppressing them so let's wrap the segment up Paige and

what would you like to leave our viewers with anything else just that it's okay

most people go through it step into it don't look for something external to fix

something internal and just know don't be afraid of what's down in there

because what's down in there is gonna be what's best for you

very good Paige thanks we'll see you on our next segment of our second act with

Paige and Silke for your second act of life thanks so much for watching for

How to Create Happiness in Your Life Every Day | Jacqueline Way - Duration: 14:19.

So we heard in the introduction that you

started this charitable organization - 365give

and why don't you just tell us about your

start and how that all began.

Absolutely. Well, it started a lot of years ago

and as many of you heard - it's my super fun fact,

no longer up - I am a mother to three super beautiful

little boys that I adopted locally here in Vancouver.

Now I know, not all of you think that having three boys

is fun but my kids are great and when I started the

adoption process you go through a lot of

questions and one of the questions that came up as we

were going through the process was what are your

expectations for your child? What do you

want him to be when he grows up or her.

At that time we didn't know.

And my answer was pretty instant.

I just really wanted my child to be a kind,

compassionate, happy little human being.

That was all the expectations I had for

my child and I realized when I took a look

around our world, raising a happy child these days isn't

quite as easy as we think it is.

The World Happiness Report actually tells us that over

220 million children suffer from anxiety and depression.

Children. And none of you are out of this.

Another 1 billion adults also suffer from anxiety

and depression. So I decided that I was going to do

something a little differently with my son.

And many of you may have heard that the first five

years of a child's life are their most

important years so at the ripe old age of three I

decided I was going to start instilling what I hoped for

for my child. And so on his third birthday,

over birthday cake and ice cream, I sat my son, Nick,

down and I said "Nick, we are gonna do one thing to

give back to the world every day for one year."

Yes, he had the look on his face of "Mom what

the hell are you talking about?"

So you know I had to go about this a little bit differently

and roll it out in three-year old terms so I got out the

crayons and the pencils and off we went and I said

"Nick we're gonna do one thing to be kind, helpful,

compassionate to either an animal, a human being -

another person - or the planet. And that's how we

got going. So every day for 365 days my son and I

committed to doing one daily give every day.

Excellent. And you started blogging along the way

as well so you started to tell your story a little bit.

I did, so my son actually asked if we could share it with

friends and family and I am NOT that scrapbook kind

of mom, so instead I decided I was gonna start a blog

and we named it 365give. Kind of made sense.

Now I'm not some inspiring writer or some social media

guru - this was the days before Instagram - and so I

started blogging and every day I just wrote a little story

about what Nick and I had done to give back

to the world everyday. You know our actions had to be

small and really simple. So simple a three-year-old

can do them. And so it was easy for me. Every day we

tracked our stories and it was really neat

what happened because obviously we kind of

were hoping our friends and family might check in every

now and then to see what we were doing.

But things really changed and people started reaching

out to us from all over the world because they were

actually inspired by my little three-year-old boy, Nick.

And what were some of the early gives that you did?

Oh yeah, our gives. Well you know what, I actually

happen to have right here … so this is our

daily giving list we made. We sat down. We got out the

crayons. I think they're gonna pop it up there. There it is.

So this is how simple we made giving and

some of our favorites, and we still do them to-day,

you know the donating towels and blankets down at the

local SPCA is always a favorite because when we got

down there we got to spend some time and

volunteer our time with the cats so my son

It made his day it would be like "yes" let's go

to the SPCA today and he loved that part and just

getting to spend some time and volunteering his

time while we were down there. A couple

of other favorites that, you know, were also very fun is

... we are blessed that we live down at the beach so you

know a really easy project we could do is when we went

down to go play at the beach we would pick up garbage

along the way. You know, we didn't do it for long … we

are talking about a three year old here so

but for three minutes we would pick up garbage

and very easily we could pick up a bag of garbage.

It was one of our daily gives we said to the planet.

One of the ones that we still do as well today and

as most of you know the Salvation Army

out there we would give our toys and all the

clothes that we no longer needed and we actually call

this a double daily gift because we are helping the

planet by making sure that our things we no longer

wanted weren't going into the dump and of

course it's helping people along the way.

And I think our favorite, and we still do it every

Christmas morning even to today, is we make cookies

on Christmas Day and we go and deliver them to our

local firehouse to thank them for all of their service.

And what were, this is one of my favorite podcasting

questions, what did you learn about yourself, what did

you learn along the way, what did

Nick learn? You know I think that I'm going to have to

give you two parts to this one. I think one of the first

things that I learned as a parent is that creating a daily

giving habit is actually really easy. You know I kinda

look at it like brushing your teeth every day and

I'm telling you right now it's easier to teach a

three-year-old to give than it is for them to brush their

teeth every day. But when you start thinking about it like

that, once you get into that daily habit of doing it,

it sticks with you and I can tell you right now and even

aren't still to this day in our family we make it a daily

habit and we name it in our house even if it's something

really simple - my son helps me upload the dishwasher,

he helps me set the table, we name it "you did your

365give" today so it has become a culture and when we

don't do it we really miss it. That's cool. I was telling

someone about this and about our interview today and

they said "all these great things that we wish we had

as parents." I'm glad to hear that, thank you. I wish I

could go back and do this with my girls. You know what

… it's all possible. And I know in our conversations that

you've learned some things about happiness

along the way. Maybe you could just share that.

We have well you know one of the things that I really

learned, and if you ever take a child down to the SPCA

and spend some time with those cats, you think that

you are the one giving but what you come

to understand is how happy it makes you

and every time Nick and I did our 365give, this smile

would always end up on his face and I actually came to

realize that by doing our daily give, he was becoming a

really happy the little kid and it was amazing to watch.

Cool. So after you did your initial 365 days, yes, things

built on the blog. Just continuing with your story, what

sort of happened next? Well you know if anybody

has ever heard the saying here "when you

give you receive." I'm just gonna throw this little story in

here today because I haven't told it too often but

on day 365 was the day my son's fourth

birthday that our second son came home.

He is, sorry, still to this day, the apple of my eye

and just six months later his little brother came home

and then things started to change. But what really

changed was when I got a call and it was from a

girlfriend of mine and she's a teacher here in Vancouver

and she asked me if she could take the 365give concept

into her classroom. She wanted to teach her students

how to give back to the world and she wanted to teach

them everyday how it was done. So we went to work

and we created an educational program.

It's actually a tool for teachers that

incorporates a daily giving practice with their

everyday curriculum. So as the kids are doing their

science and their math and their reading and their

writing, they also get to choose how they're going to

give back. Our program is a little bit unique because it's

powered by the kids. Instead of their teacher telling

them that they have to do this to give, the kids actually

get together and they get to choose how they want to

give back to the world. Choose causes or choose the

planet, things that are really they're inspired by and

show them how they can make an impact. And it's been

amazing to watch these kids as young as

kindergarten come up with daily giving ideas they can

do together. They give back to their schools,

they give back to their communities, they give back to

their families. And we keep watching this ripple happen

and it's been an amazing journey to watch. And then, as

Roger mentioned, you did a TEDxStanleyPark talk in

March a little over a year ago and then the video went

up in April I believe - and just tell us what's happened

since then because, I don't know if Roger mentioned it

or not, but you're up close to 2.4 million views of your

video. Amazing, amazing well and I have to tell you I'm

so humbled and and Nick and I feel so blessed.

If you want a kid that's surprised when their mom has

2.4 million views on YouTube you become the

superhero in the family. So along with my other boys.

You know when when we did that talk and when I did

my talk - I call it "How to be happy every day"

because what I learned along the journey and I don't

know if anybody here has ever heard this before, but

have you ever heard of the "Helper's High" before?

Anybody ever heard that term? So, I'm just going to

explain this a little bit and I'm going to tell you about

the talk. When you give, your endorphins actually

kick in ... you get this high … they literally call it

the "Helper's High" and researchers been studying this

for decades. What else happens is something

called the "happiness trifecta."

And its this brilliant combination of things that go off

and fire off in your brain that includes dopamine,

oxytocin and serotonin. So when you're giving, you're all

fired up and you're ready to go and you know, you're

feeling on this natural high. It's amazing. And so the talk

ended up being called "How to be happy every day, it'll

change the world" and what we realized from the talk,

as soon as it went up, people are really looking

people all over the world are looking for that key to

happiness. And the more views we got every day, and

even to today, the power of just one voice standing on a

stage telling a story like everybody here is today, is

amazing how it ripples and 2.4 million people either

have gone out and given at this point or we've planted

a seed that we know one day will stick with them.

And that one voice and that one action from my son

and one talk has taken our organization from a small,

local, Vancouver, not-for-profit to now a global

organization. We have over 250 schools in 30 countries

participating in the … we call it "The 365give challenge."

Thank you, thank you. We are so blessed. We get to

connect with people from all over the world. We have

thousands of individuals, we have hundreds of families,

we even have businesses that have come and joined

and are now part of our community and what we see

and what I hear every day from the people that email me, to the comments

on the TED talk … it's possible, it's actually possible

to change the world and it's why we're here today.

We're here to inspire brave actions and now I can

tell you it's actually possible. With one small daily give

it can ripple around the world and it's amazing.

Cool. So one final question: I'm sure you've heard

today hundreds of stories, maybe thousands of stories,

as a result of 365give. Could you just share, pick one.

Okay. I think because this one is relevant to Vancouver

rather than somewhere on the other side of the world,

I'd like to share this one with you. Last year I had the

opportunity to work with a youth philanthropy group

here in Vancouver so these are high school kids.

And I had 12 kids and they wanted to do something with

365give and show their community that they too could

make a difference. And we know the challenges with

being a high school kid student these days. So we got

together and we came up with a special day and we call

it "Do one give day." Well these kids let me tell you

- they got every school in our district involved, they

accomplished 4,000 daily gives in one day just with our

school district and globally another six which made

10,000 daily gives in 30 countries globally and these

kids just amaze me of when you give them the power to

go out and change the world that they've made it

possible. So we're looking forward to moving that

forward this year and and bringing more people on

board and making even a bigger change. Thank you.

Thank you. That's from my West Vancouver kids. I just

love them. Kids really get it, don't they. Yes, they

completely get it. It's the rest of us that have to catch up.

NARUTO 🍥🍥🍥 | Draw My Life - Duration: 4:47.

Naruto is a manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto, published by the publishing

house Shueisha Inc.

Naruto Uzumaki is a teenage ninja who has the Nine Tails fox, Kyubi, inside.

12 years before the beginning of the story, this demon had attacked the Hidden Village

of the Leaf, and killed lots of people.

As a consequence, the leader of the village, the fourth Hokage , sacrified his life to

seal it inside Naruto when he was a newborn, and so stopped the massacre.

Because of this, Naruto suffered abuses during all his childhood, by those who considered

him the Kyubi itself.

As a solution for this, the Third Hokage, who had to retake power after the sacrifice

of the Fourth, issued a decree where he banned mentioning anything about the demon's attack,

and whoever did this, would be severely punished.

In the present times, Naruto graduates from the Ninja Academy.

He becomes friends with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, with whom he starts the TEAM

7, along with his sensei Kakashi Hatake.

While they learn new abilities and meet new characters during their missions, Naruto fights

for his dream to become the leader of his village, a Hokage, and be recognized as someone

important.

During the Chunin Exam, Orochimaru, one of the most sought for criminals, and some ninjas

from the Hidden Village of the Sand, they attack the Hidden Village of the Leaf.

Naruto stops the Íchibí, the 1 tail beast and its container, Gaara, before they destroy

the village.

Orochimaru kills the Third Hokage as an act of personal revenge.

Jiraiya one of the Legendary 3 Ninjas, who had trained Naruto for the exam, starts the

search for his old team mate, Tsúnadé, to name her Fifth Hokage.

During the search, it is revealed that Orochimaru wants to find Sasuke , to offer him the power

he so desires to kill his brother Itachi, responsible for having killed the whole clan.

Sasuke accepts and goes train with him, betraying his village and turning into a renegaded.

Sakura stays in the village training with Tsunade to be a ninja doctor and be able to

help her friends.

In the meantime, Naruto decides to leave his village along with Jiraiya, during 2 years

and a half.

His main goal is train and prepare to save Sasuke, and make it as the Hokage of the Hidden

Village of the Leaf.

Naruto's name comes from an ingredient in ramen, which he loves, made of fish based

pasta with a pink spiral in the center.

It is also the name of a Japanese city with natural rapids nearby.

Uzumaki means whirl wind, and the whole name altogether makes reference to the belief that,

when energy flows in a spiral movement, it is unstoppable.

The character never had any love or attention during his childhood.

This led to his wish to turn into the leader of his village, in order to have that recognition

and respect he never had.

In order to achieve this, Naruto has great determination, something we can tell by his

self confidence – he always completes every mission easily.

His strong competitiveness against Sasuke helps him move forward, be persistent and

become stronger and stronger, both physically and mentally.

. The manga, which has come to an end already,

is formed by 72 volumes.

There are two anime adaptations: Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, which continues the story

of the first one, and finished with its last episode in March 2017.

Naruto has also given room to several movies and OVAS, and tons of videogames.

As a continuation of the saga, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was created, the manga first,

followed by the anime adaptation.

It tells the adventures and trainings of Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto's son.

Naruto is one of the most sold MANGA SERIES in history.

With an uncountable legion of fans, Naruto is one of the most important mangas in Japan.

It captures so many people because of its story, characters and exciting adventures.

Who's your favorite character??

How to start living a long healthy life by starting with something small - Duration: 1:43.

I've been working with someone the last while and a big thing that we were working

on, was trying to get them to execute something small and simple.

Traditionally they put a lot of time into doing a near-perfect job, getting it

exactly right before it's out there. So that concept of just doing something

small & simple, maybe even easy, compared to what they think it should be,

has been a hard thing to execute. This is myself included, I would rather

get something that's perfect than just put anything out there. It's

something I battled with to try and get around that mentality, The thing is

he's started this now and he's now executing these small workouts, these

short workouts which he thought didn't make any sense and had no value.

Now he's seeing the value in the workouts, he's making progress and because he's

executing these small things we can now do bigger things and get closer to what

is a more beneficial, more perfect workout. This was just a small thing I

just wanted to chat about, whether you spend time trying to do something near

perfect or something just getting it out there no matter what it is and it's that

balance between the two that will ultimately lead to your success in fitness

and probably success in other areas too. We'll chat soon

Finding Your Life Purpose | The Ikigai Series 2 - Duration: 18:14.

Whoho hello and welcome everybody, today is the 2nd part of our series on

how to literally find your life purpose in a reasonable amount of time.

So if you haven't watched the first part of this series I recommend you do so, because

you're going to get a lot of important information that you will need for this very video.

So you probably remember that the model that I wanna talk about is

the amazing model of Ikigai which is this ancient Japanese concept for

anything between life purpose and the thing that gets you out of bed in the morning.

Your driver, your guiding star, literally that one thing that

everything in your life is about. There ARE a couple of disclaimers and you

will find them in the last video, the most important being: This is a big

concept, but let's chillax everyone. Because -you know- you don't have to find your entire life purpose

in 20 minutes.

But it's possible to have some sort of working hypothesis. So relax, if the insights

you're going to be getting the next five minutes aren't like "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom"

(if they are, congratulations), and

if they're not it doesn't mean that you're lost.

So here we go: From the last video you will remember that there are these four

things, the four purpose areas as I like to call them. And these are the

things that you love doing, the things that you're really really good at, the

stuff that world needs, and the stuff that you can be paid for. And there are

a couple of really, really interesting things and insights that can pop up,

if you look at the overlap of these exciting areas. These overlaps are the

things we're going to focus on today.

So the first overlap is passion and passion is where talent meets love.

It's where stuff that you're really good at meets the stuff that you love doing.

And I think what is so important to note here it is is that it's not actually

stuff you have to be paid for nor does it have to be particularly useful. Right?

So you know my ... one of my passions is... I love googling late at night

amazing and exciting venues where we can host our seminars in. You know, maybe even a

little bit useful but frankly -I mean- I spend so much time doing that but you

might argue whether that is really a very productive thing. And other things

-I don't know- I love old furniture, I'm really good at you know like distinguishing

different styles and -you know- actually styling other people's apartments. And I have this

massive pinterest wall of different antiques.

I don't know- I just have this massive passion for this. And... as said I just

want to highlight: Your passion does not have to be your job. That's one of

the little tiny insights that I love about this model, you know. It doesn't have to

be your job because per sé you don't have to be paid for it nor does it have to be

particularly useful.

If the passion is the overlap between your talents and the

things that you love doing, actually it kind of excludes by definition all the

stuff that you're mediocre at or really bad at. And why is that so interesting?

I'm just going to jump back to this whole "I-want-to-be-more-passionate-with-

my-career"-kind of questions just because we get those a lot. If you are asking

yourself "How passionate a I... like... is my job really my passion?" Think about the

degree to which things you're really good and ... the things you love

things that you love are represented in your daily life on your job. And think

about to which extent are there things that you are medicore at or bad at.

Or that I feel "less than l.o.v.e." for.

Two points here: 1) The things I just said are really good to

evaluate, but also -as said before- 2) your passion does not have to be your job.

So if it is -I mean- LUCKY YOU. And if it isn't -you know- have mercy.

Because I know for instance in my own story I am massively passionate about

what I do. But this had to grow over -I don't know- five or six years.

And I started the job I do today as hobby, as a hustling project. And what I'm seeing

is and it's far more important to really -you know- understand what your passion is

than to make it part of your career directly. Because one thing I can share

with you are with you for sure and that is: If you turn your passion into a job

but you don't have the the skillset and it's just not sufficiently

useful for other people, the amount of money/payment you might be

generated for this just might not meet your standards. And if the job you are

picking that is based on your passion does not provide for a life that you

love, you're going to start sabotaging your own job, your one passionate thing.

And that the last place where you want to be, because you will just start hating

that thing that's in this magic overlap between talent love. And that is such

a bad place to be. So yes, you can evaluate your job according to you how

passionate you really feel about it. And if it turns out that you are actually

not so passionate, have mercy. Have mercy and rather create space and time

for side projects, for hustling projects for great hobbies that will give you

that passion. And then later on you can still think about how to turn that

into a business or how do I include that more in my career. So that was a long

speech, but I just think included it because this is such a central point in the

questions that we are getting. So I hope it's gonna be valuable for you guys.

So the second amazing overlap is between what love and usefulness.

So between the things that you love doing stuff that the world needs. And we call it your "mission".

We call that your mission, because it's something that you just enjoy and it's

needed. And that's why you do it -you know- it doesn't have to bring you money,

you don't even have to be very good at it. So a very common example is people

being a parent. Probably -you know- everybody makes crazy mistakes as

parents. We've all been wounded by our parent by our parents. And we as parents

will wound our children. It's probably the hardest in the world.

Nevertheless -you know- it's ... once you have your child, it's just your mission and

you do it no matter what. For other people and I just remember a super,

super cool coaching client that we had. She is someone who had this mission to

build this mentoring program for young people that are neither in education,

employment or training or in any sort of structure provided by the government. And

you know: Was she the very best person to build this organization? We don't know.

But she loved mentoring, and she loved the idea of a very big

organization. And that's what she's doing. Is she being be paid for it? Well... not yet.

But that's what I'm saying, right? And for me personally for instance, I guess you know

my biggest mission is to support the the International heads of all these

international NGOs that we've been working with. If you know my

own story you will know that I have been helped so much by these organisations.

And they have this massively big place in my heart. You know, in the past we gave

we gave a way up to like 40 percent of our revenues as scholarships for people

from the nonprofit sector. So hey, are we the best people to ever help them?

Idon't even know. Are we making money from this? Definitely not!

Is it needed? Yes! And do we love doing it? Yes! So...

There's one really great thing about this whole mission... little ... overlap... kind of.

And that is: It is actually impossible to fail in your mission. And what do I mean by that?

Someone might take away your stage. You know, The Arc might fail as an

organization or the mentoring organization of our client, of my friend to

be fully honest might also fail. Right? You might actually fail as a parent to a

pretty high degree. But doesn't mean that you cannot choose to pursue that

path? No, it doesn't. You will still be that person to who being a parent is

massively, to who mentoring these kids is

massively important. And I will probably never stop -you know- doing everything I

can to support these international NGO. So that is maybe the one cool thing to

give us peace of mind: If you know what your mission is, it is impossible to

fail it. Because no matter how dire the context is that you are in

you always are probably going to have a choice to go on this direction, or

this other action... And knowing where your mission is will point you towards the right one.

So here we go the next overlap and that the one between talent and profit, i.e. the things that you

are really really good at and the stuff that you can be paid for. Now... if you're

here to get rich quickly, this is probably the box that you want to have a

lot of really smart things in, because yeah I mean obviously being very good at

something that you can be paid for for really well yeah might just end up being

massively beneficial for your bank account.

The challenge for most people though is that at least by definition your

profession does not have to be something that you love. And it might also be

something that is not particularly useful to the world. Having said that

though remember how we said earlier that, if -for instance- the passion project that

you're having or that passion business that you're thinking of building does

not provide you the lifestyle that you want - if that's the case then you would

actually start sabotaging that very own beautiful project of yours? In order to

actually prevent that the whole "profession" box is really the box to optimize.

So more practically, what am I talking about? If you are

knowing already that you have the side hobby, the side hustling project that

you really would love to develop, but you are worried that it will not pay you enough,

relax about it. Just be fine with the fact to have it a little bit

separate. You know, you don't have to move towards the center of this Ikigai

right away or in one year. You have your entire life to do it and a lot of

you a little never. So relax about it. And just think about the ways how you

can -you know- have a profession and how you can sort of balance this

with everything that you put under the passion overlap "shlash" corner, right?

So, I mean even -you know- at The Arc there's so many people who are pulling off their

own massively amazing project which fulfills them which is absolutely

fantastic for them. But at the same time they're working as freelancers to finance

their living. And -you know- sometimes this is looked down upon a little bit in a

sense that... yeah... but you have to you know quit your job and throw yourself in there

fully. But I think that's a little bit of an unfair judgment because

for me, I personally think it's pretty daring to actually pursue

something of which you don't know yet how you are going to make money with it.

So if you are really very self-critical around

"oh-my-passion-just-isn't-worth-being-funded-or-being-paid-for" You know, relax!

Oftentimes something will pop up over time and... maybe there's just no

market for this. And that's fine. We also use the "profession box" or overlap or

whatever you want to call it, as a counterweight. If you have for instance a passion that

you feel, you struggle to make money with.

So the last magic overlap is "vocation"

where usefulness meets profitability or profit. So where

what world needs meets what you can be paid for. For a lot of people it's

really hard to get the heads around between the difference of "vocation" and

"profession". How are these things even different? [pause] Weird! And I think

I can explain it best using a small example from my own personal life.

Because I guess for most people it's easy to identify their profession,

the stuff that they're good at and that they can be paid for. Vocation is a

little bit harder sometimes and maybe you don't even think of anything in

particular right now or maybe what you were thinking of is pretty hypothetical.

But here is the personal example: So I have been working with someone who is

actually a former teacher and who has this crazy social enterprise. And he has

all these ideas around how to lower school absentism. So basically how to

lower the number of students and pupils that are missing from school, because

they're like... for a lot of reasons. So what he came up with it was actually a

software that would monitor these absentisms where people ore actually in

that case the teachers would have to log. Now is he really loving IT?

He's a teacher I can tell you he's not completely against it, but it's definitely

not the biggest love of his life. And is he massively good at programming

IT systems? Well for sure not. And he basically had to hire a programmer. But is it something that

the world needs? And something he can be paid for? Definitely yes! So that

particular business for instance is a good case of showing what a "vocation" means.

I hope this made it clear for you. So let's start off and get down a couple of

things for that.

So that's it already. That's sort of the end of the second

episode of the series. And I am going to challenge you to just go back to your first

Ikigai, those magic 15 words or mantra that you have come up with after

the first video. And just look at it again and see: Does it still make sense?

What's the overlap between all the things that now you've come up with

and things that you've already come up with out the first video? Just iterate

and see what happens. Maybe -you know- you are a little scared or would be

like "Wow, how will I ever get this done?" or like "thanks for that" [frustrated], maybe you are even

a bit disappointed. The one thing I can tell you it: There's an actual risk of

you just putting that piece of paper aside and not doing anything.

The risk is real. We know this because, hey, it's very easy to

not follow through upon the stuff you really should be following through. But

-you know- they're surely out there are a lot of people who don't want to part

with us, but if you're one of those people who DO want support with us, dare to

contact us for a coffee chat. It's a 45 to 60 minutes free coaching where we will

find out if The Arc is really for you, whether or not we can support you. And

yeah what the next steps could be. So if that is something that excites you

dare to click on the link below. Check out the website, we are

organising bootcamps, retreats, coachings, amazing events across Europe

and yeah it's a super open community... whose people are really just

waiting -you know- for you to be welcomed. Don't be scared, it's really a hell of a lot of fun.

And see you soon!
