My Goals My Happiness I want to live with equanimity. I want all my emotions to be valid and I want to be able to easily explain anything I am feeling and have my thoughts make perfect sense. I want to be happy, but I do not expect anything to make me happy. My happiness must be cultivated inside me. I want to enjoy elation while always remembering that it is not happiness. I want my identity to be as small as possible. The description of what I am should be very short. Everything else is what I do. I want to live outwardly. I want to experience life without constantly thinking about myself or how I am perceived. I want to be truly present in my moments and never forget that I will run out of moments eventually. (Memento mori) I want to treat myself the way I treat other people I love. My Health I want to take care of my body in ways that allow me to live fully, without pain, with vitality. I want to think of my body as the tool that I use to live my life. I do not want to think of my body as “me”. I want to always remember that the way I treat my body is a direct reflection of my self-worth. I want the way that I live today to be an obvious demonstration of my belief that this life is amazing, and that I want it to last as long as possible. I want to always pursue the lowest risk of all-cause mortality. I have A LOT of control over my health, and I will exercise that control. My Actions I want to never wonder why I do anything. My actions should be mindful and deliberate, not mysterious and frustrating. I want my values to describe the way that I live, not the way that I wish I lived. I want to run toward discomfort, not away from it, when I have opportunities to learn and grow. ©2021 JasonSeib.com My Beliefs I want to never hold myself to fictional standards that I can’t explain. All standards should be measurable. Perfectionism must be unacceptable. I want to only use social comparison in positive ways. (“That person is doing something that I could do.”) I want to be able to easily explain all my fears. Irrational fears must be unacceptable. My Relationships I want to be the best father that I can be. I will always ask myself, “Would you be happy if your daughters grew up to be just like you?” I want to be my wife’s confidant, pillar of support, and best friend. I must BE amazing to GIVE amazing, so my self-care must be on point. I want to be likable while never stopping to consider whether I am liked. I want to deliver value to the lives that I touch. I cannot give what I don’t have. ©2021 JasonSeib.com
