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'm Jason and we are Living Lucky®. You are, too. Jason just got back from his Dream Builders meeting. This is a group of men that meet and they talk about their dreams. Yes, what a great club to be a part of.

Jason Shelfer: 0:29

It is. It's about 20 guys and we meet once a month. It's 20 leaders in the community and we just talk about our goals, our dreams and how we want to change the world.

Jason Shelfer: 0:39

One of the biggest takeaways that you came away with this morning is yeah and this has hit me a couple of times and I work with my clients on this is Donnie was talking about how his mentor said hey, donnie, oftentimes you set goals that you can clearly visualize and you can clearly see yourself being successful at, which makes these success points in life feel easier to attain. Yes, and his mentor said what if you set a goal so audacious and so big that you had no idea how to even envision the successful completion of it?

Jana Shelfer: 1:18

Which I believe is my problem.

Jason Shelfer: 1:22

It can be a double-edged sword, right problem.

Jana Shelfer: 1:29

It can be a double-edged sword, right I? When you told me this, I thought I have wildly improbable goals. I call them my wigs, yeah, and I change wigs literally like every six months. I'm like, oh yeah, I think I'll be a world record ski holder, right, well, I think I'll be a ballroom dancer but the thing is, on the journey to these things, you expand so much and you grow so much I do, but almost to the point where I sometimes don't know what my genius is anymore.

Jana Shelfer: 1:57

I mean, as of last night, I was on my way to be the next stand-up comedian. And literally this morning I was texting my dad and we have this really great story that is in our ancestral. Is it about the murder?

Jason Shelfer: 2:15

Yes.

Jana Shelfer: 2:15

How did I? Guess it, there was a murder in our family generations ago, and the more that I learn about this story, the more I'm like. This is a John Grisham novel which is ready to be made into a movie, and maybe that's my purpose in life.

Jason Shelfer: 2:33

It fascinates me that I was able to guess the story without having discussed this with you.

Jana Shelfer: 2:37

Okay, so as of this morning, I was going to be a novel writer and movie producer.

Jason Shelfer: 2:44

Well, so I think about a lot, some of your wildly improbable goals, your wigs, and think about all the growth that you've had and all the things that you could put in a story, because you have done amazing things that people probably wouldn't believe. And it's about that journey. Like you, you could be the next um who was it? Mark Twain? Like you could be, you could be the next biggest storyteller in the world because you've done so much and it's because you've been on this journey towards these wildly improbable goals.

Jana Shelfer: 3:26

I'm telling you, Jason, thank you for saying that. However and it's almost become my way of life is to set these goals where I have no idea how that's going to happen. I mean, there's been times when I'm like I'm the next Frida Kahlo, I'm going to become an artist, and then I start decorating my chair and I'm like, oh, I should apply for Make it Work. You know that show, Project Runway, and so what I'm trying to say is that sometimes it works against me.

Jason Shelfer: 4:02

So in that case, what I see happening from being objective and not being in that in the goal is that we look at what's not happening instead of what has happened.

Jana Shelfer: 4:14

Right, because when you say it like that, I look back at these last five years and it has been really incredible.

Jason Shelfer: 4:23

Exactly. What has all developed and that's where, when I see you doing your gratitude journals and also when I see you go back to your gratitude journals, I see you grow Like, I see you sit up straighter, I see you being the person that you are. Does that make sense?

Jana Shelfer: 4:43

And why do? Oh, that's so great. Sometimes I feel like if you ever just want a little inner confidence, hire Jason, even for just one life coaching session. I will say I think a lot of my success is because you are constantly fueling my rocket.

Jason Shelfer: 5:06

So I thank you for that. The natural tendency is, when we set these big goals, or even when we set small goals, is to recognize how we're not achieving. That's our natural tendency because we have this invisible line, like it's a am I measuring up to? Am I, am I successful, am I not successful, have I achieved, have I not achieved? And when we can erase that line and recognize how we're moving towards it and how what we've gained, there's a, there's a different dynamic there in what we perceive ourselves as.

Jana Shelfer: 5:39

Okay. So Donnie, in your Dream Builders group this morning he said his mentor has challenged him to start setting goals where they're just so wildly audacious that he has a hard time imagining the successful completion of them, like even what it looks like.

Jason Shelfer: 5:59

And so one of the biggest things in life is we don't recognize the boundaries that we are.

Jana Shelfer: 6:06

We subconsciously even put on our imaginations Ding, ding, ding ding.

Jason Shelfer: 6:13

This happened to me when, when I watched you do the underwater therapy.

Jana Shelfer: 6:17

Yeah, that's true.

Jason Shelfer: 6:19

So we've been together for 21 years and I never imagined seeing you move your legs the way you moved your legs in underwater. So it broke me. It broke me emotionally because I was seeing things that my brain could not imagine.

Jana Shelfer: 6:34

That is true.

Jason Shelfer: 6:36

And when my brain imagined your legs moving like that, it opened up a whole new world of possibilities. So if we can find ways to stretch our imagination by setting these goals that we can't envision currently, then we get to figure out where these boundaries on our imagination are and then just explore beyond, because there's always a new horizon, there's always a way to love more, there's always a way to do more or be more or experience more, and it's finding what we want to experience, the better part of it, instead of what we're not experiencing or what we're not achieving better part of it, instead of what we're not experiencing or what we're not achieving.

Jana Shelfer: 7:18

So, donnie in your group, has he tried this yet and has he seen results?

Jason Shelfer: 7:28

So he didn't share. He said it's been a life changer. He didn't share exactly what the life changes were, but he said that the expansion that he's experienced on the journey towards this. He didn't name the goal, but he said, just by exploring where his imagination ended, it's changed everything. And I see that with my clients as well, I see that with myself and it's hard to imagine where does my imagination end?

Jana Shelfer: 7:53

But I also I don't want to cockblock you in any way. However, I want to say that I do feel that I live this way.

Jason Shelfer: 8:02

I do feel this is part of my DNA. It is.

Jana Shelfer: 8:05

I also will say there are other challenges that arise and develop when you do this, because you don't always see things come to fruition.

Jason Shelfer: 8:19

Yeah, well, it's, and that's because we start. That's because we can't see that. So it's easy to plan a road trip when you know your destination, right, yes, so that's that's like. Okay, I can plan. I need gas every certain number of miles. If I had a roadblock, I still know that there might be other roads to get there. If you don't know your destination and it's somewhere out in the distance, then it's just okay. Well, now I have to just love being on the road.

Jana Shelfer: 8:49

I will say the one time that you have completely blown me over with your wildly improbable goal, which maybe we should call it a wildly audacious goal a wag instead of a wig.

Jason Shelfer: 9:06

If you have the wig, I'll have the wag.

Jana Shelfer: 9:08

Because when we were working with one of our first life coaches that we had together, we went on a weekend retreat with her in. Tennessee and she had us writing out our centennial speech, which is when we're 100 years old and how you look back and say how great your life was. You look back and say how great your life was and you wrote in there that you were so proud of yourself for donating $100 million and I literally choked on what I was drinking when you said that who do you think you are?

Jana Shelfer: 9:46

No, not that, but I'm like. Wait, I share a bank account with you. How are we going to donate $100 million, however? Well, look at us now. I mean we, just we.

Jason Shelfer: 9:57

We raised 750 000 for wheelchairs in the past two years and we've already given away five over 550 wheelchairs to people that need them.

Jana Shelfer: 10:09

So I mean we're in the process, like we're on this journey out loud, and they might start becoming real.

Jason Shelfer: 10:16

They do start becoming real because when, when you create the, when you create the dream and it's outside of your being able to fathom how it's going to come true, that is putting a destination out there. So that is so. You've just expanded your imagination by saying I'm going to put it out there. Now I get to get curious about the how, and then I get to bring people into this atmosphere that may see a different route than I can see, and then they get to pour into me or give suggestions, or my reticular activating system just picks up on things. Nothing that is here today was here. I mean, everything that was here today was here a hundred thousand years ago or a thousand years ago. It's just we found a different way to make use of it or a different way to be resourceful. Does that make sense? So, whatever it is I want, I can get. I just have to find the resources to get to it.

Jana Shelfer: 11:15

I also think, finding the who. Yeah, I know that we consciously want to search for the how on how to get there. However, I have found, if you set a wildly audacious goal, a wag, then I feel, if you find the who, someone else who has accomplished that route or that goal or that, journey, seeing something on their journey towards that route. Then it's easier to say well, if they can do it, I can do it, why not me?

Jason Shelfer: 11:51

Nothing happens in a vacuum. Yes, it's crazy. That's why I love the whole Living Lucky® thing. It's. Believe in yourself. So set that goal as far out as you want, like way beyond your imaginative capacity. Then believe in the people around you. Also, believe in your circumstances and believe that the higher power is working in your favor to help you get there and then just enjoy the journey along the way.

Jana Shelfer: 12:16

It's really just believe. It is, it really is, and that's not in a religious sense, it's a belief, it's just a life sense, it is. It is Walk in confidence and faith, confidence and faith and just let it happen.

Jason Shelfer: 12:33

I think that sums it up.

Jana Shelfer: 12:34

Ding, ding ding.

Jason Shelfer: 12:36
