Jana Shelfer:

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'm Jason and we are Living Lucky®. You are, too. Today's tip it's not what you want to build in five years, it's who do you want to become?

Jason Shelfer:

That's so big, there's so many coaches that we've been to and they've asked what is it you want to create for yourself in the next five years and when you change it to?

Jana Shelfer:

who do I want to?

Jason Shelfer:

be in five years. I get to build myself and become the person who is able to create whatever I want to create and also able to hold on to it and sustain it.

Jana Shelfer:

You know, it's so funny because when people have come to me who are looking for love or wanting to find that relationship that they've always wanted.

Jason Shelfer:

Or dreamt of. Yeah.

Jana Shelfer:

I always say write down exactly what you're looking for, and then become that.

Jason Shelfer:

Be what you want, because you attract what you are. So big Rewind that we say that all the time.

Jana Shelfer:

But when you said that today, when you said it's not about what you want to build, it's who do you want to be in five years?

Jason Shelfer:

Yeah, because if you decide who you want to be, then you can be the person that has whatever it is you want to build, like it's just. But you have to become the person that has the intellectual knowledge, the spiritual knowledge, the emotional knowledge, like you become the confidence, the beingness, the worthiness. Yes, of of all these things together at once.

Jana Shelfer:

And then the just like you just said, you have to be the person that has the energy, that has these things that you want to create.

Jason Shelfer:

Well, you say it all the time that the universe gives us who we are, not what we want. So who do you want to be? I mean, it's one of those little things that just kind of hides in the corner of the doorway and as we're going through the door sometimes we don't notice that it's really about who we want to be, not what we want to create or what we want to build.

Jana Shelfer:

I know this is a small little example, but I caught myself today. I actually caught myself and it had to do around money. I know a lot of people have a lot of limiting beliefs when it comes around money and again it has to do with the energy and the feelings that we attach to it, because we attract what we are.

Jason Shelfer:

Yes, correct.

Jana Shelfer:

Absolutely so, like I went to pay a pretty big sum today to a ski coach and I thought, oh my gosh, this is crazy, especially since we have all the tools we need.

Jason Shelfer:

We're traveling an hour to get to the same thing we have in our backyard.

Jana Shelfer:

Right, I'm like what are we doing?

Jason Shelfer:

Except for the coaching experience.

Jana Shelfer:

What are we doing? And I don't know. There was something about it and then I thought you know what the energy that I attach to this is going to create the experience that I have so bad, and it is also going to create more of that feeling, that experience.

Jason Shelfer:

And it's really just adjusting what the feeling is.

Jana Shelfer:

So then, the next question, the next dot that I concluded, or alluded to, is what is it that I want to feel Every time I write big checks like this? What is it that I want to feel? What is it that I want to create? And it comes back to who do I want to be? What kind of person is it that I want to be? That says, you know what I have? Abundance, yes.

Jana Shelfer:

I have everything I need in life and it's going to continue to flow through me, and this helps the ski school and this helps other people that will be out there also skiing and I will be able to, you know, interact with other skiers.

Jason Shelfer:

And it's a different perspective. It's something like you hear something new when we go there, so it's one of those beautiful. That's a great little analogy or a little snippet of where we see it in our own lives, and there's like we bring it up to each other often, those little areas where we're not seeing it, like we get trapped in the I want this or I want to create this, but we don't stop and say are you the person?

Jana Shelfer:

Are you becoming the person who has that? That gives my dog the excitement and the adventures to where she gets to go have a lake experience.

Jason Shelfer:

And she was having a blast. She was smiling from ear to ear 17-year-old dog, little Labradoodle, and she thought she was two years old again.

Jana Shelfer:

Literally she was running and jumping up these five. I mean, she was jumping up five foot big banks right. She was swimming out in the lake. I mean it was crazy, she was rolling around in sand. I'm like that is I want to be that dog owner. So I want to be that person. I don't care how much money it costs me, that's the person I want to be.

Jason Shelfer:

So big. So for me, that kind of came out when we were spending money on personal development and some of the times we would go and the coach or the speaker or the facilitator would be saying things that we had already spent years on. But I said, I'm the person like. I'm the person from here forward that will get value out of, wherever I am, any experience that I'm in which positioned me to hear from a different level and to see from a different level where I would get a new return on investment, regardless of what I paid, regardless of who it was I mean, it could have been the janitor somewhere and I would have learned what I needed to learn because I would I was able to. Now, as a who I became, was able to see it from a different viewpoint.

Jana Shelfer:

See it with fresh eyes. Yes, and we've heard this before. That's the thing is, this is not new to us right. This is not new to us. Not only have we heard this, we've also taught this Right.

Jason Shelfer:

But for some reason today it just hit different. It had an aha moment. Yeah, it just hit different because I think oftentimes we are in the cycle of being busy and in the doingness instead of in the beingness. And when we allow ourselves the space and the wherewithal to be in the beingness, the universe works so much more in your favor, because you are harmonically in that resonance area of reciprocation, all the high vibrational frequencies and the fluidity of things just coming to you, which is really crazy. But when you find yourself in the flow, it's evident and there's evidence around it, and then you just sometimes you you catch something and you're like, oh, I'm going to make more of this, I want to do more of this, and it's a. Then we kind of get out of that.

Jana Shelfer:

You know what's really crazy is just within the last two weeks, I was talking to a mentor of ours and he runs one of the charities that Jason and I are very, very involved with. And he said to me Jana, I want to help you, I just don't know how to help you. And the only way that I know how to help you. He's a very left-brained type of person and he said to me the only way I know how to help you is if you can clearly define what it is you want to build in the next five years. Where do you want to be in the next five years? And when I answered him, he literally I mean, I answered him I said you know, I am just tired of being so cerebral and I really want to start having more fun. I see myself laughing and being joyful. And I literally started to describe you and I doing things that we love. I started describing as dancing, skiing, traveling, spending time not only together but with Tater and just doing the things that we love, like I literally described us.

Jason Shelfer:

Which is a huge inspiration and motivator for other people to see that they can have the life that they want. They can be in that creationism of creating their own reality.

Jana Shelfer:

But I remember what he said he said to me then I don't know how to help you he said.

Jason Shelfer:

the only thing I know to do then is just to write you a check Is to write you a check which I don't, and he didn't know how that would be mutually beneficial. Right, and that's. There was like that shadow in there of well, that's not why we do what we do. Yes, Like we get our funds other ways. If that's the only way you can see helping us, I mean, but it doesn't feel mutually beneficial, then I don't think you're seeing the whole package.

Jana Shelfer:

Yeah.

Jason Shelfer:

And that's really all it is.

Jana Shelfer:

But what is funny right now is that, as I am thinking about this in hindsight, I literally answered with the energy of who I want to be yes because you've recognized, even without putting like the full thought in front of it, it came on.

Jason Shelfer:

The backside of it is that when you are who you want to become and you are in that process of becoming that person, you get everything that you need. You get every. Really, you even get everything that you want. Yeah, it's. It goes back to Wayne Dyer saying when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. And it's so true, because when we are changing us, like when we are becoming the person that we aspire to be, we have everything that we imagine that person would have. Yeah, and it's incredible and it's like a light switch that goes on. Now, I'm not saying it's always easy to stay in that, because we start thinking, oh, I want to control this, I want to be the author of this.

Jana Shelfer:

We create our new little problems in that little realm.

Jason Shelfer:

It's like creating our new horizon once we've reached where we thought the end of the horizon was yeah, oh gosh.

Jana Shelfer:

But if only we can just enjoy it for even that short little bliss moment. Yeah, and I think it goes back to one of our last podcasts where we talk about choosing joy. Yes.

Jason Shelfer:

Like I, want to be the joyful person that experiences life in the best possible way, so that I can inspire others to experience their life in their most joyous and fruitful fashion.

Jana Shelfer:

Okay, so let's just recap real quickly. When you are so focused on, what is it that I want to build in the next five years? What is it that I want to create? Slightly change that, reframe it to? Who do I want to become?

Jason Shelfer:

In the next five years and then just lean towards it.

Jana Shelfer:

Who is it that I want to be in the next five years?

Jason Shelfer:

What does that?

Jana Shelfer:

look like. What kind of energy does that person?

Jason Shelfer:

carry. What does that feel like, what's it sound like, what's it taste like? All those little facets of who am I becoming All those senses, and then your life is better when you get there too, Like when you start leaning towards that there's more. You'll find fulfillment in whatever it is, because you know that you're becoming that person.

Jana Shelfer:

Yes, that's the best version of ourselves.

Jason Shelfer:

I love it. Thank you, baby.
