Parents want a better life for their kids but, the key to that life starts with understanding what we truly want and why.
What Parents Want for Their Kids
Welcome to this week's You Are Destined for Greatness, coming to you this afternoon from here in the barn.
You know, I've been talking to quite a few parents lately, and they tell me what they want for their kids. They want their kids to have a better life than they did. They don't want their kids to suffer like they did and make the kind of choices they did. They want their kids to have a better standard of living, to have a good education, to be healthy, to be successful, to find good employment, to make good money, to be financially secure, to have somebody that will love them and have good relationships.
Kind of sounds like what kind of me and you want, and kind of the rest of the world and what their parents want too.
Why We Really Want What We Want
And so, here's the thing about the things that we want in this world. Now get ready for this, because what I'm going to tell you is a big deal, okay?
All the things that we want are because of how they, we will feel, okay? How we will feel. Some of the things that we want—for me, I looked at the things that I want in my life: peace of mind, happiness, joy, a sense of accomplishment, a sense of self-love. All those things—feelings, direct feelings.
Okay, what about, I want a fancy horse, I want this XYZ pickup truck, I want X amount of net worth? Those aren't feelings, Shane. No, they're not feelings.
But what you want is not necessarily that badass horse. What you want is how you'll feel when you have and when you're riding that horse, how it'll make you feel. Same thing with the money. You don't necessarily want a big number or a big tall stack of cash because of the cash or because of the large number. You want to have that amount of money because of how it'll make you feel, the peace it'll bring to you and the confidence it'll make, how it'll make you feel.
Your Feelings Are Already Available
So, okay, fine, that's great. We want things because of how it'll make us feel.
But here's the deal. Get ready for this, okay? Did you know—because I'm gonna say, I'm gonna kind of, I'm gonna go with—you might not have, might not know—that all of those feelings of the things that you want are available to you? They're available to me and are available for your kids right here, right now. They're available to you.
You don't have to wait. You don't have to wait for this. And I'm not saying not to go ahead and follow your goals and get those things. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about that you don't have to wait for a circumstance to determine how you feel.
If you want to feel a certain way, it is available to you right now, okay? Because things are not what cause you to feel certain ways. What you think about things and circumstances is why we feel certain ways.
Stable Living and the Power of Thought
So, all of the abundance and goodness—and the bad goes with it too, the hard and the negative comes with it—but all of the joy and abundance in the world is what I want for you and I want for your kids, the same as you do and the same as I want for me.
And all of those things are available to us right here, right now. And these are the kinds of things that we work on in Stable Living Coaching, just so you know.
Right now, by the time you hear this, hopefully we still have our two-week free trial going on for another little bit while longer, so you got nothing to lose to join us. Because it's a super exciting and empowering thing to be able to learn and experience managing your mind, you know, and how that makes you feel, and how that improves the quality of your life and the people around you.
So, I encourage you to sign up for that two-week free trial.

Regardless, my friends, remember this: You Are Destined For Greatness.
