what is your reason for waking up in the
morning hello my babies welcome back to
my channel I'm your Alexandra foreknew
welcome and today I want to help you
guys get closer to finding your life
purpose your reason for being here or
you're a key guy so yesterday I went on
Twitter and I asked you guys if you know
what your life purpose is and about 20
percent of you said yes 34 percent said
no and 46 percent said that they were
interested in finding their life purpose
so many of us feel lost so many of us
are just wandering around trying to
figure out what we're supposed to do
what our purpose is so many people spend
their entire life trying to figure out
what it is that they're supposed to do
here others still are following in the
footsteps of their parents or taking
over the family business listening to
what others want them to do or what
society expects them to do and more
often than not these people find that
their work feels insignificant to them
without a feeling of meaning or
purposefulness in our lives days can
seem endless you can start feeling very
depressed and anxious and even just be
Moody for no reason other than feeling
empty because you have no sense of
purpose to discover our natural positive
and happy state of being we have to find
meaning in most if not every moment of
our lives your purpose is available to
you at any moment of your life to come
back to when you're feeling
directionless or empty but first you
have to find out what it is what is your
life's purpose finding what you're
supposed to be doing here on this earth
is going to be so good for you because
it's going to take your attention and
your focus off the negative things in
your life off you know coveting what
other people have or wanting the lives
of other people off anything negative of
drama and anger and fights of what's
going on in the world and you're going
to have to zero in on what really makes
you happy it will allow you to know for
sure that you are meant to be here and
that there was a reason for your
creation we've all been put here for a
reason
the question is why and
answer is different for all of us to
find your purpose you have to start
listening to what feels like truth to
you you have to give yourself what you
deserve because your purpose will make
you happy
if you're miserable doing what you're
doing right now you have not found your
purpose in life that's not why you're
here so one technique I've heard people
talk about often to finding their
purpose is you know ask yourself what
would you do if money was no object what
would you do if you didn't have to worry
about paying bills if you are already
doing what you would be doing if you
didn't have to worry about money then
congratulations
I believe you found your life's purpose
that's amazing and though this is a
beautiful way of finding what your
passion is it's not really practical for
most of us that's where the Japanese
concept of a key guy comes in which is a
method that we're going to use today to
get you closer to finding out what your
purpose is in life a key guy means a
reason for being it's similar to the
French's phrase gaze on that and since
it comes from a country with one of the
oldest living populations that's
becoming popular in the West as a way to
live a longer happier healthier better
life Japanese longevity has been
attributed partially to this concept and
what that means is if you find your
purpose in life not only will you be
happier you will be able to also extend
your lifespan a key guy is not something
extraordinary it's something very
matter-of-fact and in Japan it has less
to do with you know making money and
more to do with finding something that
fulfills you oh we can use this method
as a shortcut to get us closer to
knowing what career path we should
choose in life or what we should be
doing in general according to Japanese
culture
everyone has an e key guy everyone has
something that will make his or her life
worthwhile it translates to a reason to
wake up in the morning and it will give
everyone a little bit of self
realization a key guy is the convergence
of four things passion mission vocation
and profession you have found your a key
guy your purpose your sense your reason
of being on this earth once what you do
is what you love it helps people it's
what the world needs you're good at it
and you get paid for it that's when
everything comes into balance everything
is harmonious and you found your icky
guy when those four things overlap you
found your sweet spot you will make
money doing what makes you happy what
makes the world a better place you'll
just overall be feeding your spirit as
well as your physical well-being
everyone needs to find their ikki guy
the concept of a key guy is really what
cemented my decision to become a
youtuber and to make these videos for
you guys I think back to the days when I
wanted to be an anchorwoman and how one
day I woke up and just decided that
that's just not something I want to do
anymore and if you look at it through
the concept of a key guy and makes sense
because yeah I loved it for sure I loved
it
I was good at it according to my
professors at USC and I could have gone
and paid for it but I did not see it as
being something that could help the
world could change the world or be
something that people need now
understand that this is not the case for
everybody
someone else might want to be an inker
and it might fulfill all four things
they might see their their position as
an anchor as something that could truly
benefit the world
it's going to be different for everyone
so I realized that making these videos
writing this book that I'm writing
making my podcast writing my blogs that
is my a key guy it is my reason for
waking up in the morning I found
something that I love to do that I know
that I'm good at that I'm getting paid
for and that makes a difference in the
world and I know that because so many of
you lovingly tell me that every single
day so I feel that for at least for now
I have found my ikki guy and I do think
that it's something that could change
over time it doesn't have to be stagnant
throughout your life that is just one
purpose I'm sure it could change so you
just have to keep checking back in with
yourself and seeing if what you're doing
now is making you happy if you feel like
you're living a purposeful and
meaningful life I know that there are
setbacks and hurdles in life and not
everyone feels like they can sit down
and think about what they want to make
their life's purpose and just decide
then in there that that's what they're
going to do you may have to work to
support your family or support yourself
or you pay a lot of money for you
University and decided that you no
longer like the subject that you majored
in but I need you to understand that
there are no mistakes you did not waste
any time at school or the six years you
spent at your job or whatever it is that
you are doing your volunteer work your
year abroad your time spent doing
nothing you have not wasted it because
it's brought you to here to this very
moment of self-reflection this moment of
self realization and awareness that you
want to be something greater that you
want to have a reason to be alive you've
come to this point of time where you
want to make your life and other
people's life more meaningful and
purposeful your life's purpose may be
overseas it may need funding it may need
resources don't worry about that now the
first step is to find out what makes you
feel alive after that you will be on the
path already to making a comment to
fruition it will come to you because it
has to come to you it is on the same
vibrational path as you the same
frequency and as you it is your life
purpose it has to be yours so the most
practical way of using eeka guy to find
your life's purpose is to work through
all four areas you have to write down
what you're good at write down
everything that you're good at then
write down everything that you love to
do write down everything you think the
world needs that you can provide and
then write down everything you can be
paid money for if any of those things
overlap if any of those things work in
all four categories you are on your way
to finding your life's purpose and
that's something that you should pursue
while doing research on this topic I
found that one of my favorite youtubers
Lavandera has made a worksheet for using
a key guy so I will link that in the
description below for you guys and I
will fill it out for you guys on camera
so that you can kind of get a sense of
how you're going to do this yourself at
home it's so easy you can draw you can
print out her worksheet you can draw it
out yourself and I'm also going to have
my little brother who's having a little
bit of a hard time finding what he wants
to do in his life I'm gonna have him do
the worksheet so that you can see it
from somebody who already knows with
certainty what it is that their life's
purpose is and through the
somebody who is not really sure what
they want to do so you have to find what
makes what you love because what Nene
loves is different from what I love so
he's writing things like video games
science now that she's going to write
what he thinks the world needs
so Mimi wrote that he thinks the world
needs bulletproof everything
very astute Mimi hmm I would agree with
you me through all of this found out
that he has a love for the Japanese
language and he's really good at
learning languages and there aren't jobs
that he can be paid a lot of money for
you know becoming a translator or an
ambassador there's a lot of options that
you can do and that it's things that the
world would definitely need so this is
something that I want me to start
thinking about and reflect upon what I
love inspiring people graphic design
reading writing yoga meditating what the
world needs more happiness togetherness
distraction from tragedy
self-improvement method what I can be
paid for writing making videos
journalism meal prepping cookbook maybe
counseling yoga teacher when I'm good at
writing teaching research I love
research making videos public speaking
relating to others all this passion
mission profession and vocation all come
together for me when I'm doing YouTube
and when I'm writing and doing my blog
it all comes together I've hit my sweet
spot fighting you're a key guy we'll
help you to improve as a person because
you will feel so confident so sure of
yourself that you have a reason to be
here that your work is meaningful and
helps people and that you do what you
love what matters is who you are
becoming that's what matters so don't
worry about the past don't worry about
the future either you are already on the
path the fact that you're watching there
right now that you're listening in that
you're going to do this exercise that
you're going to work through this
already means you're on the path to the
best future self you could possibly be
and I'm so proud of you thanks so much
for watching you guys I really hope that
this concept this Japanese concept of a
key guy would possibly help you find
your life's purpose find what career
path you want to go to or what school
you should be going to where you should
be living it can help you figure out the
next step in your life and I really want
to know how it worked out for you make
