Hey, everyone. Stefan here from projectlifemastery.com. In this video,
I'm going to share with you guys what is called the Life Mastery Circle, how you
guys can use this to measure each aspect of your life to ensure that you're making
progress and that you're living a life of balance. Now, this is a process that
originally learned from Tony Robbins at his Unleash the Power Within seminar. In
fact, the first time I ever did this exercise was probably when I was 21, 22
years old. I had met Tony's brother-in-law, Scott Humphrey, who lives
here in Vancouver. That's where Tony's wife's family is from. He's putting on a little
workshop to promote Unleash the Power Within. That's the first time that I
signed up and went to the seminar when I was about 21, 22 years old. He took us took us
through this process. This process allows you to measure each area of your life, life
see exactly where you're at,
see exactly where you're strong, we're you're falling behind and really make the
necessary adjustments because you want to live a life of balance. You want to
make sure that you're growing and you're improving yourself in every
aspect of life. This is something that has really made a big difference to
my life and something that I've done on an ongoing basis
ever since I learned it. It's something that I've done every
month for years. At one point, I was doing it every single week. I believe that
the more that you can measure areas of your life, the more power that you're
going to have in that area, the more you're going to be successful in that
area. The more that you check in on that, the more that you measure it, the more
that you can make the necessary adjustments to make sure that you're on
track. This is something that I'm now integrating into my monthly goals
reports. I've always done this in private but I want to do this more
in public to hopefully inspire you guys to use this exercise in your life, to use
this process to measure where you're at, to have a visual representation of it.
I just did a monthly goals report, if you guys saw that. I introduced this a
little bit more and actually walked you through the different areas of my life
and exactly where I'm at. I'm going to go over them again in this video, but make
sure you guys follow along the monthly goals reports to learn a little bit more
about how I'm using this in my life as well. As you guys know, I'm about life
mastery, Project Life Mastery. I believe that you have to master each area of
your life. It's not just about setting goals to make a lot of money
or to have a really great body, but you want to make sure that you're making
progress in every aspect of life because every aspect of life is important.
Every aspect of life, they work together. This is about life mastery
and my brand is Project Life Mastery because I believe it's an ongoing project. It's
an ongoing journey to master anything. It's not like you just do something one
time you've mastered it. It's an ongoing process. I want to share with you guys
this, how it works. Basically, the concept is that there's really six, seven, eight
or nine primary areas of your life that you need to continuously focus on, grow
and improve. For everyone, it's different what those areas might be but
there's a few that are universal amongst every human being. For me,
I'll share what mine are but you can play around with it whatever way that
you choose. It's about you creating the life that you desire on your terms, not
the life that I have or someone else, but what you want for yourself and your
life. For me, the primary areas that I focus on in my life are, number
one, my body. My body is my health and fitness. By the way, those are two
different things. You can actually break down one to health and one to fitness if you
want. There's a lot of people that are physically fit and they're not healthy.
They just have a ton of acid in their body. They eat really unhealthy.
They might look good physically or have great genetics, but they have
disease growing in their body. They always get sick and they're not vibrant
and having a lot of energy. For me, my body is health and fitness. Health is
always more important than fitness. Number two is mind and emotions: your
mindset, your psychology, your beliefs and the emotional quality of your life.
That can be the level of happiness and joy, and fulfillment, and gratitude, and
peace, and love, and fun, and adventure, and laughter that you experience, or it could be
the amount of depression, and anger, frustration, fear, overwhelm, stress, all
the negative emotions as well. Mindset, your emotions, that's the core, that's the
foundation, everything along with your body. Next is your relationships. I categorize
this one as my intimate relationship with my girlfriend.
I've got an amazing girlfriend. I've been with her over two years now. Some
of you guys met her on a recent YouTube video that we did, the live stream.
Intimate relationships that could be also if you're single,
the pursuit of attracting a partner in your life.
It could be your marriage, boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever that might
be. Your family, I break that down into a separate area as well. How much your
family is growing,
the love, the connection that you have with your family. Social friends and
fun. Now, you can combine this with family if you want. You could shorten
it if you choose, but I separate that. My social life, the friends, people
that I'm meeting, the fun that I'm having in my life. Again, you can
categorize this however you choose. Business, your career, your school, your
job, your mission, your purpose, whatever you want to call it. For me, I actually
call it my mission, my purpose in life. That would fit
in this category of your life right here. There are money and finances which is very
important as well.
That's separate than your business or career because your career or business
is just a vehicle to make money. You can make a lot of money and still be
broke.
You can earn a lot of money but still be going bankrupt because it's not
about how much you earn, it's about what you do with what you earn, how you manage
your money. Having your money work for you,
very important. Financial freedom. Financial abundance. Financial
independence. That fits right there. Then lastly your spiritual life, your
spirituality. That could be your religion, your religious beliefs. It could
be your spiritual beliefs about God, the universe. It could be your capacity to
grow, to give. It could be your meditation practice, whatever that is for you.
You got to decide what that is and you got to make sure that you're
making progress in that area because we are spiritual beings. Hopefully you believe
that. Hopefully you're not so stuck inside your head that you
can't understand that there's more than what we understand and what we are.
We have a spirit, a soul, something that's greater than ourselves. I choose
believe that. That empowers me greatly in my life. These are the different
areas. Again, you can shorten it to six or seven. You can make it more if you
want. You want to create a circle like this. You break down ... Here
is
the core primary areas of my life that I want to continuously focus on and
improve. Really, the step before this is you got to know what is your ultimate
vision for each area of your life? What is your ultimate goal?
What is it that you really want for your body, for your spirituality, for your business
and finances?
What is your ultimate vision? What is your 10 in that area? If you
don't even know what that is, what you're after, then how are you going to
measure and find out exactly where you are? You got to have that vision
of what that is, define what that is for you.
For example, the process, the way it works is that every single week or every
single month, I check in on each area of my life. I have a vision and goals for
each area. For my body, I say, "Where am I on a scale from zero to 10 in
terms of where I want to be? Where am I right now in my physical body?" For
everybody, their 10 is different. My 10 is going to be
different than your 10. For me, my 10 in my physical body is to be
170 pounds,
6 to 7% body fat, to have unstoppable, vibrant energy, to be sleeping
six hours a night.
Just to be a total insane, fit, healthy machine. For some,
that might be a 15 for them or it might be even less than that.
Everyone is different. Maybe your 10 is to be 12% body fat
or 15% body fat, or maybe it's just a certain level of
health, or energy, or vitality, or body, whatever that is for you. Everyone has
different goals and different terms and definition of what their 10 is.
For me, I just did this process, I'd go through it again with you guys, for
me, if I was honest with myself, on a scale from zero to 10, where am I right now? I'd
say about a seven.
I'm in great shape right now. I do a lot of fit things.
I'm very healthy. If you guys follow me on social media, on Snapchat, you guys see the
juicing, the rituals, things that I do. Again, I'm not where I want to be.
It always changes, too, because that's the path of mastery is that
life is a process. It's not like you finally get to where you want to be in
life, and life is perfect, and then that's it.
It's not how it works. You're always raising your standards. You're always raising
your vision. There's probably once a time in my life or right now I'm a 10
where my body is. Once you eventually get there, you get to that
eight or nine, then your vision expands. You have bigger goals that always
motivate you, and you're always driving to continuously make progress in this
area. Mind and emotions. Again, it's your mindset, your beliefs, your psychology, your
emotions that you experience. Well, for me, the 10 that I desire and I'm after is
high levels of happiness, and joy, and freedom, and peace, and gratitude.
If I were to be honest where I am right now, I'd say about an eight out of 10. I
am totally happy in my life. I'm very blessed with the life that I
have, and I get to do what I do, but I know that I can still grow. I know I can still
improve. For me, personally, there's never a 10. A 10 is when you stop growing
A 10 is when everything is perfect. For me, in my books,
nothing is ever perfect. Perfectionism doesn't exist. If you're trying
to pursue being perfect,
you're going to be pursuing that forever. I'm more after the progress. The
highest I'll ever get is maybe like a nine, nine and a half out of 10. Usually my bar, my
standards, my vision is always growing in my life. It's never stagnant. Relationships,
I put eight and a half. For me, that's my relationship with my girlfriend.
I've been with my girlfriend Tatiana for over two years now.
Amazing. Greatest gift to my life. Never met a better human being so I feel very
blessed for that. There's still room for improvement. There's still growth to be made
there as well, but we've got a really great relationship. My family, I
put at a six out of 10. For me, I've got a great family life and I communicate
with everyone in my family,
good relationships with them but I know it could be better. I travel
a lot and sometimes I miss some family holidays that we have or dinners.
I don't always make it to my nieces' and my nephews' birthday and things like that
because I'm traveling, and so I want to improve that. I want to grow that. I want
to spend more ... For example, one of my goals is do a family trip,
a cruise, or a trip, or something like that to really bond
with family. I think sometimes when you grow in your life, you get
busier, sometimes you got to make sure that you don't let being too
busy distance you from your family. That's something I want to work on more
that I can definitely improve. Social friends and fun, I put about six and a
half but it's probably more. I've been having a lot of fun lately with my
friends. I had a great housewarming party here, a barbecue here,
sometimes soccer. I went to UFC event that was here in Vancouver last
weekend. There's still more that I'd like to explore with my friends.
Definitely when I travel, that's where I have a lot of fun or I'm spending time with
my girlfriend, but I could definitely a lot more fun in my life because I
definitely spend most of my time in my business.
That's where the majority of my time goes. That's what fulfills me the most as well.
I get a lot of juice and it's fun for me also. I think I could
balance out these areas a little bit more. I'm more of an introvert to be
honest by nature, and so I like to be by myself at times. That's how I recharge.
Sometimes I'm totally cool spending a Friday night just by myself just
relaxing, and recovering, and just being alone. That helps to recharge
me for the week as well.
Business, career, for me, that's eight and a half out of 10. I have huge aspirations for
where I want to be in my business. My business, I'm crushing it. I love it. What I
need to improve right now in my business is I need to hire more people. I need to bring
in more of a team. I need to bring in more of a management. I need to remove
myself more from operations in the business, and optimize things, and create
a better foundation of all the systems, and procedures in my business, and just
really make sure I've got a good foundation in place to grow even further
from that. Definitely can improve there but it's definitely
strong. My money and finances, I put an eight. Like I said, everyone is
different. For some people, making a million dollars is a 10. Other people
making a 100K is a 10. Some people making 10 million dollars is a 10. Some,
hundred million or a billion. It totally depends on what your vision is
or what you want for your life.
There's probably once a time in my life where making a million bucks a year
or being where I'm at right now was a 10. Now, as I've grown, I have
bigger aspirations. I want to build a business and be
earning $10 million. I want to be able to give more, contribute more. I want
be able to grow more. I want to be able to build my business more, and
faster, and build other businesses and do really incredible things. For me,
that's where I'm at right now is an eight out of 10. Spirituality, I've got
as a seven. For me, my spirituality is my connection with God. It's my
relationship with myself. It's my growth, the giving, the contribution in my life,
the level of gratitude, the presence, the level of consciousness that I'm operating
at. For me, that's all my spirituality. I've got an amazing
relationship with God. I communicate everyday but I want to go deeper.
I want to even expand that even further. I want to pursue ... I'm doing a meditation
retreat, Vipassana, later this month, a 10-day summit meditation retreat where
meditating in silence for 10 days. It should be a lot of fun and I'll
massively expand my spirituality in that moment. There's definitely more
that I have in the vision of what I want to accomplish there as well and what I
want to grow. By going through this process, once you basically mark off
each area and you put, "I'm a seven there. I'm an eight there. I'm a six there,"
you got to be totally honest because this is only for you, not anybody else.
You got to draw out the circle. Be honest. You might be a two. You
might be a one. You might be a four. That's totally okay. You got to be honest with
yourself because the moment you're honest about where you are,
that's when you have the power to change it. That's when you take the responsibility
and you could take the necessary actions to grow and improve that area. Be honest.
There once times for me, man, I remember my money, I was a two. I have that
somewhere in my journals. I was frustrated. Man, my money was a two. I was barely getting
by. I was in debt. I was making 1,500 bucks a month, barely surviving,
living in my friend's living room. That was a two out of 10.
My body was once a four.
My mindset, I was once depressed. That was probably a one to be honest
with you guys. My relationship, I was once a two or a three. I've
been there where this has been crap. Because I always measured it
and I always focus on how I could improve each area, I've been able to grow and expand
the different areas of my life. Like I said, it's a never ending process. What
you want to be honest with yourself. Identify where you are
at in each area. Then you got a wheel like this. You got a circle. Now, you
could see what are the weakest parts of my life right now? For me, it's my
family. It's my social, my fun.
What could I do to bring this to a seven? What could I do to bring this to a seven
or eight? I think one thing I could do is I could schedule a meeting with
my family. I can plan a trip. I can plan a get together, a dinner, a fun activity.
Just by doing that alone, that can raise this from a six to a six and a half or a seven.
Same thing with my friends. I could plan a get together. I could have more fun.
I can create some structure, different activities, travel trips, things of that
nature, and I could grow this as well. If I think how can I enhance my
finances, my money? What are the things I could do for that?
Maybe I can invest a little bit more money. Maybe I can earn more money in my
business. Maybe I can read a book on investing or money. I can make little
changes. I can pay off some of my debt. Those are things you could do.
Maybe in your business, or your career, or your school, you could take more action. You
could get resources, or coaching, or things that can help you grow that area
as well.
Same thing with your body. You can join a new gym, or a workout
program, or a class, or change your diet a little bit, or get into juicing, or
smoothies, or whatever. Get a treadmill desk. There's so much you
could do to enhance this area of your life. You want to be resourceful and know
where you're at and think how can I improve each area of my life? How can I bring
each area to as close as eight, nine or 10 as possible? When you are
living eight, nine or ten, man, your life is amazing. Your life is at the
peak. Your life is balanced. Your life has power to it. You're living life on your
terms.
That's the ultimate position that you want to be in. Hopefully,
this can help you guys understand this process and the power of this. Like I
said, I give full credit to this to Tony Robbins. You guys know how much
he shaped my life. He shaped my life since I was 17 years old. I highly
recommend everything that he puts out. This is something of his that has
really made a big impact on my life. If I can share that with you guys, and
help you guys in your own process of life mastery, then that's my goal. That's
why I do what I do. Hopefully, this can help you guys out. I recommend to go
through this process. I'm going to update you guys on this in my life every month.
It's part of my monthly goals reports as well. I recommend doing this every week
if you can. Again, just be proactive in growing and improving area of
your life.
