your life is the sum of the choices you make even something as small as where you choose to sit in class dictates Who Your Friends end up being throughout your life you'll unknowingly choose the direction you're going the goal of this video is to put you face to face with some of the most important choices you'll have to make before you're forced to make them having the wisdom to think about these beforehand gives you an incredible advantage in life so let's just jump right in well welcome to alux the place where future billionaires come to
get inspired number one would you rather deal with failure or the regret of not trying at all you are born with potential then you get shaped by your family your education your environment and the people who you keep close this molds people in different ways some cultures encourage risk-taking While others are more conservative the choice you have to make is what's more scary failure or regret failure is not something to joke around with because it can bring public humiliation it can have repercussions on your livelihood and you only get to fail so many times before
you're unable to play the game anymore but growth only happens when you stretch your limits something that we want you to think about is this failure is temporary but regret is permanent you can always rise up after failure you can learn from it use it as a stepping stone to get yourself closer to success but regret well regret is something that will eat you from within you'll carry it with you until the very last day of your life which burden do you wish to carry number two will you live the life you want or the
life your parents want now we had to include this one okay every person should choose the life they wish to live learn from people who you respect but don't let anyone dictate your life because it's not their life to live why does it matter what your uncle thinks your life should look like why does it matter what that low-wage teacher thinks your major should be parents would gladly sacrifice happiness and fulfillment for the security of their children without even realizing just how much damage they might be doing there's this quote by Frank Zappa that goes
like this if you end up with a boring miserable life because you listen to your mom your dad your teacher your priest or some guy on television then you deserve it number three would you rather spend your time growing or being entertained now this is something you have to deal with every single day how are you going to spend your time do you choose to be entertained or educated everyone wants your attention Okay that's why the feed never ends and the reals keep coming the simple distinction between what's good for you and what's pure entertainment
is enough to make you more aware people love of entertainment celebrities are seen as people of importance and value because they have money people worship them for their success but life is built by Builders okay you can become one too or you could spend your time glued to the screen not realizing that you are being farmed for Content number four would you rather enjoy the present or secure the future now sometimes the only thing that matters is the present moment right Christmas with your family walking your dog on a Saturday morning front row tickets to
your favorite artist catching up with an old friend these are moments when you're creating core memories and then there are moments when you're actively building and securing your future the choice most people make is to live somewhere in between many people choose to live somewhere in the middle they often socialize when they should be working and even when they're out they're glued to their phones they sacrifice the future for that present moment and they ironically are not even that present you're always trading with the future my friend it's up to you to decide what kind
of Trades you want to make and what kind of ratio you want to maintain number five do you want to work for others or for yourself now you can be happy and fulfilled in both situations okay the first one comes with security and consistency while the second one comes with a lot more stress but higher rewards it all boils down to what kind of expectations you have for your life the reason why it's important to make this distinction is because most people want The Best of Both Worlds while also not committing to any of them
and that's what leads them into a loop of low job satisfaction and feeling like they're just a cog and a bigger machine that's how you get people who've learned nothing new in the past 5 years and feel stuck but if you want to live a truly enriching life you need to never stop learning always compounding knowledge and there's no better way to do that than by using using the alux app we designed it specifically for entrepreneurs top level managers and high Achievers like yourself to consistently level up your game across all areas of life from

of The Five People You spend most of your time with if your friends are poor lazy and unfulfilled guess who's going to join them your inner circle has such a radical impact on the life you live you only get to realize it once you escape it the moment you disconnect and can focus on your growth you'll start to understand just how unmotivated and boring your life really is this works the other way around as well if you're accepted by a group of like-minded people who are not afraid to fail who are open to learning and
investing in themselves these people will spark something within you at the end of the day it's a choice you have to make when you think of you and your friend group do you see yourself as winning or doing the exact same thing that you've done for the past 10 years number seven would you rather be tired or broke everything you do in life will be balanced between these two options are you willing to learn and work for it or can you live without it whatever you desire in life from a successful business to your dream
body to the social group and status you aspire to be a part of it's all a matter of effort nobody's going to come to your door and offer you the life of your dreams on a platter okay the theme of sacrifice is forever present in our videos for a good reason everything good requires you to sacrifice something in return the bigger the sacrifice the bigger the reward you want some cold hard motivational truth here if you want something and you don't have it it's because you don't want it enough take a moment to ponder this
okay until it becomes a part of who you are number eight do you want to stay in the city you were born in or or move somewhere else your location is one of the factors with the highest impact on your life life in the big city is drastically different from life in a small town Summers on the seaside are drastically different from Summers up in the mountains your hobbies change the people you hang out with change the entire Rhythm of Life Changes depending on your location one of the most if not the most important choice
you can make for your well-being is the place you call home and people usually make the Choice based on what's comfortable and easy without any deeper thoughts behind it number nine do you want to be the driver or the passenger in your life once again you're faced with an existential dilemma there are two ways to live your life okay the first way like everything is pre-written in your destiny and you're just floating by on a boat carrying you wherever that river goes or two the world is chaotic filled with unlimited potential nothing is set in
stone and you're the one writing every single page now depending on this choice and the way you view life things get more or less complicated if you pick the first one there's no need to struggle or push yourself because Destiny has already been picked out at your birth the second one has its downsides as well of course because if your life is terrible you're the only person to blame you take complete ownership of it the good and the bad when life is happening to you you have to make a call okay are you going to
shape the outcome yourself or are you willing to let the dice roll and just see how they fall number 10 would you rather risk it all or play it safe now we found there are different character traits that influence the attitude that one has toward life some people are calculated and never try to expose themselves to risk While others embrace it sometimes to their own detriment both choose to take action both want to end up at the same destination which is usually happiness personal fulfillment and financial success what's different though about these two is the
road they take the higher the risk the shorter the distance to that destination but don't ever imagine it's going to be an easy road on the other hand there's this beaten path the one that others have walked on before you and got to exactly the place where you wanted to be if you're smart about it you'll study these people and prepare for the journey beforehand if you're extra smart you'll get yourself a tour guide someone to show you the way and our alux goal Mastery course would be the perfect investment here you've never analyzed your

gear so go to al.org to get started with Goal Mastery today number 11 are you going to have children or not now there comes a point in your journey where you start to think about kids it's that weird period between 25 and 30 when the majority of your friends are having those children and there's this weird pressure from society to follow that same path but look okay here's where we stand on this issue do not bring a child into this world if you're not ready to be a parent at the same time if you want
kids don't wait that long either because that Gap and age will make it even more difficult to connect with them later on mainly because of that age Gap and the difference in Generations if you have your first child at the age of 32 which is a completely acceptable and normal age these days by the time they turn 18 you're 50 years old this kid will grow up with V technology embedded in their contact lenses connected to the cloud since they were born spending time in Virtual Worlds with their friends you're just going to be this
old person telling them about the time you installed Snapchat and couldn't figure out how to use the interface number 12 will you ignore the problem or will you deal with it help the monster under the bed the dragon hiding in the closet and that elephant in the room you should never postpone dealing with these problems if you have the ability to fix it right now no matter how uncomfortable it might be the more you ignore it the bigger it grows and the more damage it can cause be frank about it and just deal with it
headon people wish that if they ignore it maybe the problem will just go away but it doesn't Okay ignorance is really expensive if you ignore the cavity in your teeth you'll soon be paying for an implant if you don't pay your bills on time you'll be getting penalties as well ignorance demands interest and speaking of expensive things number 13 your life partner now statistically speaking the average marriage in the United States only lasts 8.2 years with a national divorce rate of 41% things are pretty similar in the rest of the developed world as well with
35% being widely accepted as a fair ratio globally which means one in three marriages will statistically end up in divorce the partner you have alongside you will shape the direction you're heading in think of you two in a boat each holding a paddle if you two aren't in sync well you're not moving forward number 14 do you want to Serve Yourself or serve others now here's a moral dilemma for you what drives Your Existence if you were laying on your deathbed did you take more than you gave what are you leaving behind how many lives
did you change how many people are better better off because you happen to come into existence Serve Yourself and do it as well as you can become the most valuable version of yourself that you could ever become grow evolve be as successful as you can be then in the second half of your life share that wealth that knowledge with as many people as you can now this doesn't mean giving all of your wealth away to charity although there is a case to be made for the giving pledge many billionaires have already joined winning is about
