In this video, I'm going to talk to you about

how to get a clear vision

on what it is that you want

for your life and your career.

And this is a process that I personally use

and I know it works.

So, let's get started and move

in the direction of where it is that you want to go.

So if you're watching this video,

or really, any videos on my channel,

you're likely, right now, in a situation

in your life where you feel a little bit 'stuck'.

A little bit stuck in the job that you're in

or the career path that you've chosen.

I know that feeling.

I know it all too well.

And that's why I'm here, in front of you,

talking to you about this.

Because I think this is something that a lot of people

struggle with.

So, I'll tell you a little story.

Growing up, I was born to refugee parents...

refugees from Vietnam.

They came here literally with nothing.

My parents struggled as I grew up to try to really support me.

And I was their first born

Canadian generation, first Canadian generation-born daughter.

And growing up, I always had this mentality

that I needed to work hard,

get good grades,

so that eventually I could get a good job

and, you know, be like everyone else.

So I went after that.

I got good grades,

I even landed scholarships when I was in university

and eventually I landed a great

"great" (on paper)

full-time job, as an accountant or auditor for a big accounting firm.

I chose the accounting path 'cause

literally, like, it was a matter of "Okay,

who pays the best salary?"

Like, that was what my thinking was.

And I was miserable.

I hated my job.

I was working late hours

and I was doing something that just I did not enjoy whatsoever.

And, honestly,

I was depressed.

Like it caused me to be

really unhappy with my life.

And I was questioning everything.

I was questioning, "Why?"

"Why do people choose to do this?"

They choose to do this, because

they choose to kind of go with

what society says

is the "right" thing to do.

And that is to take a corporate job,

and they choose to accept that as their reality.

And I chose...not to.

I asked myself,

"Should I go with them?"

"Should I keep thinking the way they're thinking?"

Or...

"Should I just listen to myself?"

And I decided,

"I'm gonna to listen to myself!"

I'm gonna listen to this voice inside of me, because

this voice inside of me is SO LOUD.

I know what it's like to

head into your work,

or head into the office

and you're feeling this

uneasy, anxious,

disturbing, unhappy

anxiety.

That just sits within you

and just never disappears.

I can only describe it as

something that's so subtle,

yet,

it's a subtleness

that, that literally

eats at you.

And it only grows.

I want to tell you...

Where you're at right now,

is simply, one point

on this long journey,

this long path,

that we call life.

And you're at one specific point.

But it's not the end.

There's a whole other

side of it that you haven't even seen yet.

There's a whole path that's laid in front of you

that you haven't even stepped foot on yet.

That you haven't really glimpsed into yet.

But this is what I want you to do.

I want you to start listening

to YOUR voice.

I want you to start

listening to your own truth.

If you're unhappy right now,

if you're in a situation that you feel stuck in

or you just aren't enjoying

what you're doing,

then you need to realize that

this is not where you're meant to be.

And I want to help you to take that first step

so that at least

when you do eventually decide to do whatever it is that you really want to do,

that you have a good idea.

So today, that's what we're going to work on.

We're gonna get that 'voice' inside of you

to start speaking a little bit louder.

Ok, so,

grab your pen and paper

or grab a word document.

If you're not going to do this, by the way,

then there's no point in watching me

because that's just gonna,

you're just wasting your time.

I'm going to give you a set of instructions,

so what you're going to do right now

is pull out a word pad

um, word document.

Or grab a pen and paper.

This is what you're going to do.

Ask yourself,

What would my ideal life look like?

If I could have anything I wanted,

if I could do anything I wanted,

what would that be?

When I wake up in the morning

and I open my eyes,

When I go about my day,

That's the biggest thing, make sure you in corporate

the feelings into all of this.

And literally, go throughout your entire day

paint the picture.

Paint it.

Make it as colourful as you want it.

Describe it in ultimate detail.

Ask yourself what you would be feeling

as you experience each of these little things

that happen throughout this day.

This is a very simple exercise but can be

hard as well. Because

we allow ourselves to have these negative thoughts

that tap in and are like,

"Who are you to think this?"

"Like, what are you talking about?"

"This doesn't even make any sense!"

Now you can say,

"Okay negative voice, just,

sit over there for a little while.

'Cause I need to...

talk to myself.

I need to hear what's going on in here."

Once you do this,

I promise you,

this is going to start to really

activate something inside of you

and it's going to activate that inner voice,

your inner truth.

What it is that you truly want.

And it's going to guide you.

And the more and more that you continue to listen

to this voice,

your life is going to change.

You're going to start being guided

from an inner perspective,

you're going to be guided to do things,

and want things, and

go after things, opportunities,

that maybe, you probably wouldn't

have before, because
