Welcome back with me, Ollie to the next level in your journey in discovering and living your life purpose. And today in this video, I want to talk a little bit about one of the three crucial elements in your process of discovering and living your life purpose, which is determination, building and maintaining determination. And when I say determination, I don't mean motivation. Yes, motivation is part of determination, but motivation can go up and down easily. But when we talk about determination is how you maintain that motivation consistently throughout your journey, no matter what kind of challenges that you are facing along the way. So yes, in our journey, we will all have our ups and downs, we will all have our challenge room experience, times when we're feeling down, but how fast can you bounce back up and that's where determined nation plays the role, not just motivation.

But in order to be determined, you need to know how to motivate yourself as well. But because this program is not just about motivation, it's about transformation. So you need to be determined not just to be motivated for a moment. And you need to build and maintain your determination, not just when you're living your purpose, but also during the process of discovering your life purpose as well. Because during that process of discovery, you will also face challenges, and I'm sure you already experienced that as well. Right?

There are some challenges, like, okay, I tried this way, and I tried that way. How come I still don't gain more clarity about my life purpose, for example, I'm sure you've experienced that as well, like I did as well. But what is the thing that keeps us going and going and again, to try again and again to try a different approach no matter whether the previous attempts we did was working or not, but we keep on going and try different approaches, even if our previous attempts were not working. For example, With you joining this program as well, is also a sign of determination. But make sure how we can maintain that dimension longer and not just the moment right. There are constant examples of how people can show their determination during their life journey.

One of my favorite examples is from someone that you probably know as well, they probably have heard his name as well, from Cornell Sanders, the founder of KFC, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Some of you probably heard his stories when he started KFC, that he started his journey finding KFC when he was 65 years old. And at that time, he was just living in his trailer and living on welfare. He received his social welfare for $100. And at that moment, he just felt that he had enough, enough is enough. I don't want to live my life this way more.

And he started to see he started to look in himself. What are the resources that I have and one of them is a great A chicken recipe that a lot of people apparently really like, is a No thank you, Mr. Sanders. I already have a lot of chickens that a lot of people are buying. So thank you very much, but I don't need your recipe so as you can leave, maybe that's not the exact words, but that's probably the gist. So he went to the second restaurant and gloriously got another rejection. I did the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one.

How many restaurants did call centers had to go through before he actually got his first Yes. And 20 1500 guess right now. Pick a number 1009 restaurants 1009 rejections before he got his first Yes. Most of us probably already thought questioning our own recipe even after 2015 rejections but here's the thing what Cornell Sanders did, it's not just about repeating it again, trying again and again and again with the same approach. But from each approach from each rejection that he got, he also learned what he needed to adjust. So in that sense, that rejection was not actually a failure because he gained something that he can use in order for him to improve on his next approach on his next attempt.

So basically, determination is just a matter of mindset, isn't it? If you think about it, it's just a matter of mindset. And for you to be determined for anyone to be determined at something. One of the most important thing to have is to have the reason why it's important for you, and that is why people who already discover their purpose in life and when they're living their purpose, they have determination because they have a clear reason they have a clear why doing this activity. Do This journey is important to them. It matters to them why it's clear for them.

And that's how determination can be built. Yes, along the way, you will also need support from others. You also need to continue to build your skills, your knowledge, your competencies, but even that takes determination as well to continuously build your network to continuously build your skills and knowledge that extermination. So my friend determination basically is changing the things on your list, that at this point, maybe it's still something that you should do, it's on your should list and turning them into a MK two. And in order to change those shoots into must. The key is to understand your why your purpose in going through all of that, just like what you're doing with this program again, and probably I'm thinking I'm guessing this is not the first learning process that you decided to take in order for you to find yourself Define your purpose in life.

Because at the moment when you decided to try again, it means you know that it would be painful for you not to know your purpose not to live your purpose. And you also understand or at least you feel that it would be pleasurable for you, to understand your purpose, to know it, and even to live it on a day to day basis. So again, it's a matter of changing the shit into muscle. And then three to associate in your mind and your brain. That discovering your purpose and living your purpose is a pleasurable thing and not discovering your purpose is something that is painful for you. And how we're going to do that is what we're going to explore in the next video.

I'll see you soon
