Messer life by design is really about consciously creating the life that you want life on your terms, not by what people say you should do your friends, your family society, because we get so caught up in this social conditioning of life of what we think right? Nowadays, if you if you don't have a very expensive car and a penthouse suite at the top and you're you're flying private, privately in jets like you're you're no one. And that's just not true. Because not everyone has that desire, right? If you want to master life by design is really about saying what do you want in life, and let's be intentional, let's live at cause and creating that. And because if you're not happy, if you're not fulfilled, no amount of money is going to do that for you. Now money, like money makes life a lot easier. But you're truly not fulfilled. And I can't tell you how many multi multi millionaires I've coach, they have all the money in the world, money's not a problem at all in their life, it flows abundantly, they're unfulfilled, they're miserable. They have no purpose. They're unhappy, kind of like, you know, your story said, you know a little where the purpose wasn't there, and, and then got you on this journey. It's like, that is what people are missing. And that's what it's about. And so I want to kind of break the stronghold of the social conditioning, that you got to be wealthy, and said, hey, you know, I'm happy, I'm fulfilled. That is how you become rich. And that's what I want to start changing for a lot of people. Great question. So I'll share the six. I don't think one is better than the other. I think it's a holistic approach, we kind of need them all. It's like, if you work out all the time, and you got a great workout routine, but you eat junk food all the time, your body's not going to transform the way you want, it will transform just not the way you want. Right. But the first pillar is health. Right? Health is we all heard it health is your wealth, right? But really, truly without health, you're useless. Right? You're you can't be a good husband, you can't be a good father, you can't be a good CEO, a good son, daughter, whatever it might be. So you really got to establish a healthy routine in your life for yourself, so you have the energy to go create this great change in the world. The second pillar is your emotions, right? Having that emotional mastery, because you can be healthy. But if you're just a Butthead, like, if you're just rude and mean and angry to people all the time, no one's gonna want to be around you and you'll find yourself being extremely lonely, lonely. Plus, you probably don't even want to be around yourself. So living in those rich emotions like happiness, joy, fulfillment, passion, love. It's such a better quality of life. So Mastering your emotions, your EQ is so important. The third pillar is relationships, right? Not just in your intimate relationship, which is really the pinnacle of your relationships, but also the foundation, which is all the people in your life, like a lot of people they have, it varies, but they have a lot of friends, but very, not so much depth, right? Like they're they have friends that are a mile wide, but an inch deep. But do you have those relationships that are an inch wide, but a mile deep. And so really creating those rich relationships where you can be able to connect and feed off of each other speak life over each other? Like, I find that to be essential, because we all heard the term, your net worth is directly related to your network, right? And so if you don't have a network, if you don't have those relationships, it's hard to grow into really this fourth pillar, which is finances. And really taking the finance category or pillar is really important. We live in a culture a society where, you know, unfortunately, everything's ran by money, and especially even in politics, but we won't go down that path. But you've really need to have your finances right. I've realized that before I met my wife like No, no great queen is going to want this little boy who doesn't have his act together financially. If I was going to meet a queen, she wanted a king and a king took responsibility of his finances. And vice versa to for you know the ladies out there listening. But one of the top two causes of divorce nowadays is finances. Think about if you had your finances right? And you don't have to be a multimillionaire, but you just had your finances right? How much pain and frustration and fighting or what I call speed bumps and relationships where we eliminate. But also, on the flip side, how many cool epic experiences and journeys? Could you go on? Right? Like, I want to teach my kids about the ancient pyramids and the Great Wall of China, I don't want to show them in a book, I want to be able to take them there and literally see with their eyes and walk and experience it, that takes finances. So get your finances right. Number five, the fifth pillar is really about lifestyle. Because you can have these first four, but if you're sitting in your office all day, every day, and you're not going out and experiencing things and having the freedom to go where you want and how you want to go there, you're not going to be fulfilled, right? And so having the lifestyle of doing what you want, I love Steve Jobs, quote. He's like, I look at myself in the mirror every day, and I asked myself, is this the life I want to be living? And if the answer's no, too many days in a row, I do something about it. And that's, to me, that's lifestyle. So changing that. And then number six is spiritual. Regardless of what you believe, like, everyone has different spiritual beliefs, but are you living a purpose filled life? Right? Because I believe that's essential for creating this fulfilled rich life that you want. And so a spiritual is a big component. Now, depending on your spiritual beliefs, are you diving into that? Are you living Are you practicing? Because obviously, there's, there's something to this world, something beyond just us. I believe that so magical, that makes us world go that it's like, Are you tapping into that? So those are really the six pillars for me that I believe to help you master your life by design, and really consciously create that life so that you're rich or fulfilled, you're happy, and you have some of the big key components in life that really make a difference in the quality of your life.
