What do I want from life? That is a very difficult question to answer. I mean, after all, feel free to go be a hippie smoking weed in Bali every day. Or you could go to the Himalayas and be a monk. Or you could go to New York City, slick your hair back, and be a hedge fun bro. So, which of these life paths do you choose? And which one is right for you? Hey guys, Alex Hine over at Modern Health Monk, author of Milk the Pigeon, a very related book for figuring out what to do with your life. Let's jump in. So, the story of me finding the work I love is of course a very messy story. When I was in my early 20s, I was working this 9 toive job that honestly was okay. I was an undergrad bio major, half premed, half environmental science. I didn't feel like medical school was really right for me at the time. And I loved environmental science, but the thought of being abroad all the time and making 50K wasn't that appealing. Figured I would just do it as a hobby instead. So, instead, I went through this really messy phase of my 20s trying to figure out what I loved. — And the reason was my whole life plan up until that point was medical school or marine biologist. And since I pushed both those life paths to the side, then I felt really lost. That led me on a weird winding road. It led me to buy a one-way ticket to China and I lived there like as a monk and a kung fu master kind of in training. I came back and I had odd marketing jobs and I freelanced. I worked at a cafe and a startup and all these BS jobs that weren't horrible, but I just didn't enjoy. You know, I always felt a sense of urgency in my life to do what I want to do. And as a result, I felt that anxiety about trying to find my path early in life. Eventually, what happened was what feels like fate. I ended up getting quite sick due to the stress of running multiple jobs and running my entrepreneurial business, trying to become a YouTuber. And I was having a lot of severe GI issues. I saw all the specialists, all the Ivy Leaguers that seemed so smart. No one could help me. And I was in a cafe one day working on my channel here. And then this barista said to me, you know, I don't know if this guy can help you, but I developed autoimmune hepatitis as a rare reaction to a medication for my autoimmune disease. And while this guy didn't cure me, he helped me more than any doctor I had seen so far had helped me. So I saw this guy and this very simple 900year-old herbal formula he gave me fixed my GI symptoms. I was just blown away. as life goes in these weird unexpected paths. I became a doctor of acupuncture and nutritional Chinese medicine myself. If you don't know, I have a second channel on this and I have a private clinic in Los Angeles talking about this stuff. One thing I've learned is that you have to trust the winding paths. One of the first chapters in Milk the Pigeon I'd highly recommend reading, it's called There is no map. There is no map because for your life. You can follow a presscripted life path. You can become a doctor. lawyer. You can become an accountant. You can become a YouTuber. There is a path for that that's repeatable. You don't have to be creative. But all of us are different in terms of what we want. So where do you go? What direction should you actually take if there is no map? You know, I love this quote from Mihi Chicks Mihi's book Flow. He says that most human beings when we don't know what to do, we do one of two paths. Number one is what most people do. We conform. That's the immigrant with doctor parents who says you have to become a doctor or a lawyer or else you're a peasant and a disappointment. A minus, why not A+? That's conformity. Path B is rebellion. Rebellion is rejecting the path in front of you. I don't want to be a doctor, dad. Screw that. I'm going to be an artist. Conform or we rebel. But very few people, in my opinion, follow the conscious path, which is what do I want? You're allowed to conform and be a doctor if everyone around you is a doctor. That's cool if that's what you want to do or you feel like it's right for your life. It's also cool to be brave and not do that and to do a job that maybe doesn't pay a lot of money and doesn't get respect from your parents and your community if that's the life you want to live. The end of the day, you got to live with yourself. The conscious path involves one thing, which is what I call resonance. Resonance is basically a core principle that I use in my life for knowing what to do next. What is the next path to go down? Resonance is the way you do that. Now, what resonance feels like, think about like a date where you're like, "Oh my god, I'm so into this girl. guy. " Versus a date where no matter what things look like, you don't feel that. What emotionally or internally do you feel? Elevated energy, goosebumps, turned on, like elevated emotions, right? These are signs from your subconscious of resonance, excitement. I view it as like falling in love, but you want to do it in terms of falling in love with your life. So for me an example of that is you know initially I started off by writing blogs about like fitness and then it became YouTube when I got bored of writing. After that I was like this is really fun and this is actually really easy for me. It's really easy for me to be on camera and people seem to find it good and engaging and so as a result I just kept doing it because it was resonant. And then when I felt like man I need my like core philosophy in one area. So I wrote master of the day. As things go on, you evolve and evolve and evolve. Bigger, bigger, bigger resonant projects

and events, and your life gets bigger and bigger, bigger every year. Most importantly, your life feels good to you every year. Now, one of the hardest parts of creating your ideal life is that horrible feeling of feeling lost. Like, what do I do, Alex? What path do I go down? What is the next right thing for me? Well, I've put together a free chapter of Milk the Pigeon. It's a link below this video and it's the first chapter on what to do if you feel lost in life. What is my ideal life? How do I craft that ideal life? So, I would recommend just download the first chapter of this book. It's free. There's a 7-day email series if you're feeling like what do I do with my life that I think is really going to help you. Now, the third thing is when it comes to crafting your ideal life, you know, you have pillars of life, right? You have like health, wealth, relationships, maybe spirituality, contribution, volunteering. So for all of these things you have to sort of think well what is most important and where do I focus my time and my energy. This great quote by Freud that's guided me a lot. He says in the important things of life you have to focus on work and love. Love and work. What else is there? And the way I think about this is work is obviously your career because you're going to work basically 8 a. m. till 6:00 p. m. including a commute for the next like 45 50 years. So you better make sure the work is meaningful to you. Just one guy's opinion. And the second thing is love. Love I translate as people, your community, your friends, your family, your significant other, and then your own family, biological family that you create. Those factors are even from research are the most predictive of happiness and even longevity, which is pretty crazy. Work and love, love and work. If you focus on those two things, those will help you craft and understand your ideal life. You have to think, what does my work life look like? If you want to do seasonal work, maybe you decide, I want to spend three months a year in the summer in Thailand. Guess what? I had that thought, too. That's why I became an entrepreneur. You want it to be your work designs your dream life and not that your life revolves around your work. So, think carefully about what kind of work life you want to live for the live. Now, one final thought here about like how do you craft your ideal life? Life is about continual evolution. Like one thing I want to hone in on really and harp on is 10 years ago I didn't know I wanted to write two books. 10 years ago I didn't watch YouTube. I still don't watch YouTube. 10 years ago I didn't know I wanted to be an entrepreneur. 10 years ago I didn't know any of this would happen. I didn't know I was going to get a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine and I have an integrative clinic in Los Angeles. I don't know any of that because life is a continual evolution. You go through spurts of passion and then you sort of flatline and then what's the next passion and then flatline. So, it's like this staggered kind of growth. Maybe you go backwards cuz you got a divorce or you developed health issues like I did, but then you just you pick yourself up and you follow the resonance radar again. What's my next big thing that excites me? You don't have to have it all figured out. You know, maybe you work hard to get into that Ivy League school and you realize being a doctor or sucks. It's not for you. There's no amount of money and respect that will make you want that life. That's fine. This is your life, right? You have to look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day. If your parents don't respect you because you want to be an author and a YouTuber, well, you decide if the ego death is worth it for you to be happy. End of the day, life is about continual evolution. I had no vision of a lot of these things. It was just the next intuitive step and everything was going to work out if you trust that and you try to design your dream life and don't just leave it to chance. So, I don't know. What do you guys think? Tell me down there below. Let me know. What does your dream life look like? What do you feel like is the barrier to your dream life? There is a sequential process I believe someone can take to live their dream life. I actually shot a video on the five steps to design your dream life that goes great with this video and it's right up here.
