Jana Shelfer: 0:00

Are you ready to create a life you crave? Let's spin that doom loop of negativity into an upward success cycle and start Living Lucky®. Good morning, I'm Jana, I' Jason and we are Living Lucky®. You are too. We went to a celebration of life this weekend. Yes, we did. Now I'm going to be real. Some celebration of lives are more like okay, that was a nice life, let's go to Applebee's Right.

Jason Shelfer: 0:38

Let's go to Chili's and get a hamburger. Get a hamburger, yeah.

Jana Shelfer: 0:42

This one. I had mascara running down my face and I had never met the person.

Jason Shelfer: 0:50

It was rich.

Jana Shelfer: 0:51

No, it wasn't rich. That wasn't his name.

Jason Shelfer: 0:55

No, it was a rich ceremony. It was full of emotion, full of energy.

Jana Shelfer: 1:02

There was a heaviness in that room. This person has inspired so many people. In fact I started thinking if I died tomorrow, I'm not sure I could fill a church. I don't even know if I'd want a church service, because I don't know if I could fill any church, let alone one of these big mega churches.

Jason Shelfer: 1:27

Yeah, we'll just have a small station wagon service, if that's okay. Why?

Jana Shelfer: 1:31

don't you just put my ashes in the lake, because I'm not even sure.

Jason Shelfer: 1:37

Do you know what I'm saying? I think one of the things is is I think oftentimes many of us are oblivious to the number of lives that we impact on a daily basis.

Jana Shelfer: 1:47

I know, but for people to. I mean, he had people flying in, they had an audio, they had a simulcast so that people could Zoom in. I'm going to be real.

Jason Shelfer: 1:59

Because he impacted people around the world.

Jana Shelfer: 2:00

I have a big birthday this year and I'm not even. I told Jason I go. I don't even want to have a big birthday party because I don't know if people would come to my birthday party. I don't know if they would take time out of their lives to come celebrate my birthday, let alone my death.

Jason Shelfer: 2:21

Well, I believe that more people. So this is one of the things I believe. I believe more people celebrate deaths than they celebrate birthdays, which is a shame, because, because, once you're dead, you, you can't see it yeah, and I think which is why?

Jason Shelfer: 2:39

I think there was an episode of good times where he faked his death just so that he could see you would come to his funeral and that's what's, it's, it's, and it's kind of sad because and that's why I love gratitude, I love appreciation is I, I love having that experience where we where you think we should have celebration of life parties while we're living.

Jana Shelfer: 3:03

So we should have celebration of death parties? No, so maybe for my big birthday I should have a celebration of life party.

Jason Shelfer: 3:11

Call it a celebration of life, janice, janice. Celebration of life, because should I? I think that's what it should be called, because what happens is is we have a celebration of life in death and so many people come in and they put the time on their schedule and they come show the respect for what the person has done and who they are, and the person who was living that life doesn't get to see it and doesn't get to see the impact that they've had on everyone else. And Kenan knew, like Kenan knew, because he had dream builders and he had all this community around him that literally thanked him on a regular basis and called to him and said, hey, can you come talk to us about this process and this formula for being a dream builder? And it was amazing. And it's when you have that, it's wonderful. But in regular day, like most people in the world, just have a birthday. They have a couple, a dozen people or five or six people over and they don't get deep, they just stay surface level and it's just another day on the calendar.

Jana Shelfer: 4:20

Okay. So I went to this celebration of life to support Jason and to meet some of Jason's network of friends that he has developed over the last couple years. I had never met Kenan. I had never met Kenan. I came away so inspired Not only so inspired, I came away a blubbering mess, like I said and I also came away feeling like I knew him as a person, which I found that to be a really great feat. He had recorded a poem and he actually they played the recording of him reciting the poem.

Jason Shelfer: 5:06

Yeah.

Jana Shelfer: 5:06

So that kind of felt like he was there.

Jason Shelfer: 5:10

Yeah.

Jana Shelfer: 5:11

In the room with us it was pretty cool.

Jason Shelfer: 5:13

It was also a little weird.

Jana Shelfer: 5:14

Right, it was a little weird.

Jason Shelfer: 5:16

But it just was what it was. When you know someone's gone and you see them on the screen reciting a poem.

Jana Shelfer: 5:21

You know someone's gone and you see them on the screen reciting a poem. There was one thing that really, really struck me is in the what do you call it?

Jason Shelfer: 5:27

The little the program Program.

Jana Shelfer: 5:30

Okay, in the program they ask the question and this is part of Dream Builders, or this is something that Kenan has as part of his Dream Builders philosophy?

Jason Shelfer: 5:40

And one of the things that we talk about all the time is empowering questions.

Jana Shelfer: 5:44

And one of the questions is when God created you, what did he want the world to learn?

Jason Shelfer: 5:53

What promise did God make the world when he created you? Yes, thank you for rephrasing that Well, I've been in the Dream Builders for about three years.

Jana Shelfer: 6:04

And that really made me stop and think, because I really don't know. I really don't know.

Jason Shelfer: 6:15

I think the answer to that question is what's your purpose in life? Because our purpose in life is is not really for us, it's for how we contribute to the world.

Jana Shelfer: 6:32

So, the promise God made the world, but can that change?

Jason Shelfer: 6:35

throughout your life. Yeah, as we grow, like we will. So it's like, how would I contribute to my household? How would I contribute to my household when I'm five years old? How would I contribute to my neighbors? And that's just like expressing joy, expressing enthusiasm and curiosity. Well, I think as we grow and expand our minds or horizons and all that, it's really just a bigger expression of that joy, enthusiasm and curiosity. So what does that look like and how do we show that and highlight that for the people in our quote-unquote world?

Jason Shelfer: 7:16

And that, I think, is the promise that God made the world when he created us is as living beings, that's. That's that promise to be fulfilled. And it might be to be the best husband for me. It might be to to go speak to people at the ski tournament on Wednesday, you know. It might be to to meet a certain person and say a certain thing to someone that inspires them to go create the life of their dreams and to start feeling like they're Living Lucky®.

Jason Shelfer: 7:51

It might be to be doing this podcast right now so that someone is inspired to change the way they think about life and do something differently and get out of that mediocrity and start being extraordinary. So these are the things, that these might be the promises that God made the world when he created me, and I wouldn't have leaned into it if, back in 2021, I didn't say you know what, I'm ready to start living in my purpose. And in 2014 and 15, I didn't say something's got to change, something's got to shift, because I'm so out of alignment that I'm feeling like I'm going to pop.

Jana Shelfer: 8:36

Yeah, I know, kenan Birch was his name and so he started Dream Builders. Many times we talk about Jason's Dream Builders group, and the whole philosophy behind Dream Builders is really, really close to what we call Living Lucky®. And when he just uses different language.

Jason Shelfer: 9:01

Yeah, different vernacular, different language, when he just uses different language, yeah, different vernacular, different language.

Jana Shelfer: 9:06

He talks about feeling fulfilled and having God inside you, basically, and his poem that he gave was pretty.

Jason Shelfer: 9:15

I thought it was pretty profound.

Jana Shelfer: 9:17

It's pretty, it's fun it was about. At the beginning of his life, he felt like he was the artist, and then at the end of his life, he was the audience.

Jason Shelfer: 9:31

Yes, and in that way he could just enjoy the music and enjoy everything. All the blessings.

Jana Shelfer: 9:43

And it was really about gratitude. The result is, though, he inspired a lot of people. Yes, and and again, I, if I died tomorrow, I'm not sure if five people would show up.

Jason Shelfer: 9:53

I, I, I beg to differ. I think you would be shocked at the number of people that you've impacted over the years through just everything that you've done, all the just the way you've lived.

Jana Shelfer: 10:07

I think that's true. However, for people to take time out of their lives and to go attend, a funeral, you have to really impact their lives.

Jason Shelfer: 10:20

I believe that that sometimes what happens is people don't know that you want to know how much you impacted them, because they believe that you already know how much you impact them, and they also don't know that they're close enough to you to come to your funeral. Right, does that make sense Really? I don't deserve to go to that person's funeral.

Jana Shelfer: 10:47

They impacted my life immensely. You mean I'm not?

Jason Shelfer: 10:49

in their inner circle. Yeah, so they impacted me tremendously. I would want to feel like I was a part of it by watching it on something but, I, wouldn't want to take up space quote unquote take up space in the church because I feel like there would be so many people.

Jana Shelfer: 11:08

That's silly, that's like everyone. That's like when we went to that conference and the guy was like call 911. And nobody called 911.

Jason Shelfer: 11:21

I'm telling you, I believe there's a lot of that going on out there. There's a lot of assumptions made in the world and that's why people I see this all the time Like when I'm working with coaches that are like like with thousands of people and we finish a cohort and people will reach out to me and say you did such a great job I was like did you tell the coach that led it what a great job he did or she did? And they're like well, no, they already know that I was like you'd be shocked. We have discussions because they don't get emails from anyone, because they just think everyone is like. So many people are already like that email would take up space and distract them or be a nuisance. Space and distract them or be a nuisance, but people don't get the compliments or the praise, and so people don't want to show up to a funeral and say I'm taking up space here because I'm not worthy of it?

Jana Shelfer: 12:21

No, I think so. That is so silly.

Jason Shelfer: 12:22

I don't think it's silly.

Jana Shelfer: 12:24

That is silly. I think that is so silly.

Jason Shelfer: 12:28

Is there anyone in your life that has impacted your life Like, let's say, joe Dispenza? If he died?

Jana Shelfer: 12:36

I would not go to Joe Dispenza's funeral Because he hasn't. However, he is totally impacted my life Right.

Jason Shelfer: 12:46

So, so, there you go. So, but why wouldn't you go to his funeral, let's say his funeral's in Orlando.

Jana Shelfer: 12:53

Are you serious, are you totally?

Jason Shelfer: 12:55

serious. He has massively impacted your life. Oh my.

Jana Shelfer: 12:58

God, he totally has massively.

Jason Shelfer: 12:59

Massively impacted your life. He totally has massively impacted my life, and why wouldn't you go to his funeral?

Jana Shelfer: 13:07

And why wouldn't you go to his funeral?

Jason Shelfer: 13:10

Because I wouldn't want to take up a spot in the church Because you feel like he doesn't know you.

Jana Shelfer: 13:15

He doesn't know me, but you know him and he's massively affected your life.

Jason Shelfer: 13:19

So that's what I'm saying is so many people are changed by the people Like we change the people we meet on a daily basis and the way we live our lives, the things we talk about, but we won't go like we wouldn't want to take up the space in the church I am not, so you and I are not in their sphere we're not a joe dispensa level see, okay, so you say that because, because we're not speaking, because we're not speaking to us, we're speaking to the people that are on their way to us.

Jason Shelfer: 13:53

So Joe Dispenza is speaking to the hundreds of thousands of people that are where we are, oh my gosh.

Jana Shelfer: 13:58

And we're speaking to the hundreds of thousands of people that are on their way to where we are now. Joe, I'm coming to your funeral.

Jason Shelfer: 14:05

I'm going to be there.

Jana Shelfer: 14:06

We hope it's not for a long time. Joe, I'm totally going to be there. Do you know that I visit Joe Dispenza in my meditation? Sometimes yes and he's no. But here's something he's like a toad that's fine In my. It's so funny You're not kissing him.

Jason Shelfer: 14:20

Are you hoping he turns into his prince?

Jana Shelfer: 14:21

No, not at all, but it's just so funny because like he's a toad.

Jason Shelfer: 14:28

He's a wise toad. It's probably because of the way his meditations sound.

Jana Shelfer: 14:32

Maybe that's it. Anyway, he's coming to Orlando. Maybe we should have a podcast on that, because you just sparked something in my subconscious mind.

Jason Shelfer: 14:44

That's energy, that's energy.
