The other day I was hiking with my kids.
And we were struggling to reach the top of a steep trail.
They kept looking up.
“Look how far we have to go.”
I told them to look back at how far we came.
That simple shift in perspective made all the difference.
It's not just about the destination…
It’s about enjoying the journey.
And I want to show you the 23 perspectives to find true meaning in life. These gave me the perspective I needed to wake up every day invigorated and excited for life.
As entrepreneurs, we get so caught up with our goals and obsessed with where we’re going…
We forget to zoom out and see how far we’ve come.
This steals happiness.
I often tell my private clients:
“Once upon a time, you DREAMED about having the problems you have today.”
A lot of people think, "Well, I gotta get to this NEXT GOAL, then I’ll be happy."
The funny part is…
In my experience, you’ve got to get your perspective right and be happy FIRST.
Then you’ll find purpose.
I cover this in my latest video to help you dig DEEP into your motivation and identity.
It’s going to stretch you…
And make you question what you’re doing with your time, where your life’s going, and who you’re spending it with.
GOOD!
On the other side is happiness, fulfillment, motivation, purpose, and momentum like you’ve never had before.

Hope you enjoyed this longer video! Drop your biggest takeaway below:)

[@tonedeftonytv1047]

Best takeaway is not to listen to people that haven't or aren't doing what you are and wish to do. Listen where the 'love' advice is coming from. Took me years to learn NOT to listen to family and friends that didn't understand purpose!!!

[@RenzLagria]

1. You cannot help/contribute other people if you don’t grow and develop yourself 2. Limit time with the people you hang out with or create a friendventory to the people who are happy or not happy with your success 3. Choose light energy,mostly people are more drawn to dark enery motivations 4. Not all mentors are found in the internet, some are near you or within your city 5. Create Deep relationships with the right people 6. Shift your mind not to focus on the destination learn to enjoy more with your progress and effort 7. Everyone wants to finish or to be no.1 but people with the best systems with their training/preparation always win 8. Retirements are silly, loving what you do creates fulfillment 9. The Meaning of life is interconnected with each one, each one has purpose,the bad and the good, specially the bad without it you couldn’t be the person who grew from those challenges. Thank you dan!❤

[@elmerdenbraven5643]

[@breadwinner541]

Coaches & Leaders such as Dan have the best questions because they understand the value in them. It’s a vital part of their toolset

[@danmartell]

You know it;)

[@geneg3776]

For me I realised I had 3 things so far preventing me from having the life I want. 1. Fear. 2. Lack of clarity. 3. Managing large goals & organisation. Still working on these areas but much better than before. Never be too hard on yourself because sometimes the obstacles may not only be psychological but sometimes it's a skill you need to learn.

Had chip on my shoulder that the previous coaches were part of big scam industry because I felt taken abandoned and was not "coach" from the difference coaching I paid for got just more and more in debt. Finally listening to Dan story deliver how to challenge his own beliefs with ADHD can be successful when we create our own rules as guidelines to succeed... So much more. Thank You Dan Namaste 🙏🏼

[@MorganWallenManagement-td3uq]

Investing can be complex, so it's smart to get professional guidance when building your financial portfolio.

[@JoshSmith-ll8bk]

It's a great idea to have a conversation with financial advisors like Naomi Dean to reshape your portfolio.

[@user-wd7os2pg4n]

I spread out my $25k portfolio across various markets to diversify my investments.

That's awesome! I ended up making a net profit of about $115k by investing in high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and equity.

[@user-iq3pv7fw6r]

Naomi Dean stands out from other brokers because of her realistic approach, unlike those who often set unattainable targets and fail to deliver. She's truly unique!

[@VTOutdoorServices]

At 21:15 you spoke of reinventing yourself. In 2021 I had the worst year of my life. Parental death, divorce, criminal charges. I was ready to leave earth. Instead, just as you mention, I put all that energy into starting a company. We’re in our 4th year and about to eclipse $1M in revenue.

Creator of all things, I come before you in stillness and humility. As I quiet my mind and open my heart, I seek your presence and guidance. What is your will for my life today? How can I serve as your instrument in this world? I surrender my plans and desires, and I open myself to your divine path. Use me, Creator, to bring forth your light and love. Guide my steps, align my actions with your purpose, and let my heart resonate with your truth. Show me how to honor your journey, to trust in your wisdom, and to embrace the opportunities you place before me. In every moment, let me feel your presence and hear your voice. May I be a vessel of your creation, a tool for your work, and a beacon of your love. As I listen to my heart, may I hear your whispers and follow where you lead. Thank you for your infinite grace and for the privilege to walk this path with you. Amen.

This was really good. Dan I listened the first time it popped in my feed this time. 😂 But to hear it the way you put it, was great it highlighted some limits ive had and not realized.

Lots of great advice here but it’s so frustrating for me as the person that is the biggest issue and brings we down owns 40% of my business. I can’t get him to open his mind to letting go and letting the team execute. He won’t let go of the small business mindset of being involved in everything and has a real Jekyll and Hyde personality. Would love a video dealing with problematic business partners when you are not in a position to buy them out or to sell.
