every great brand began as a collection of images on a board a filtered stream of subconscious thought art and visuals from the past work from others that is respected and ideas that for whatever reason latched on to that particular person where he or she created a living breathing entity changing the world and I have found that the exact same process can be used to change your life what do you want your 2025 to look like I want you to really think and you might have already done this because we're close to the new year but
really see what you want your 2025 to look like actually look like right because we get caught up in this resolution thing and writing goals down and these tend to fizzle out by month two we don't feel anything from empty resolutions or a new regime that we found on Instagram real we don't feel excited from this where we do feel excited is when we see ourselves living out scenes from our favorite films becoming the main character experiencing life as if you were Paul Newman in the 60s your Instagram documentation looking like a '90s J crew
ad and those things might not speak to you at all but that's the point of this video is finding those things that make you light up because since I've done that for myself since I've romanticized my process and added this Aura to my goals to my desires I found that I I live them out I actually go after them I have been mood boarding my life for the past four years and the strangest thing keeps happening I actually accomplish goals I live out the images that I put up on these mood boards I actually go
experience that I do these things like Steve Jobs mapping the distinct approach of the Apple 3 as the Porsche of computers eventually setting a standard for a world of a company or Phil Knight internalizing the Outlook of Nike through a visit to Japan to the onitsuka Shu Factory the Temple of Nike and viewing a play by Aristophanes in which a warrior gives the king a new pair of shoes everything begins as a mood board the thing that you hold every day that you scroll on that you talk on that you send messages on the things
that you wear on your feet everything began as a mood board a collection of moments that you perceived work from others that lights you up once you tap into that and you throw all of these things onto a board giving yourself this or as I view perspective of your very own distinct brain dump then you have Direction time slows down and you know where you need to go you know what must be done the business that speaks to you the art that you must create the relationships you crave the love that you desire your life
is a mood board we expect a beautiful world to form around us with zero context we go through each day uninspired letting the infinite brain rot conveyor belt of social media just drive our subconscious into the darkness of of course you're numb you have no taste no direction there's no Aura no vibe to your action no mood so let's build it every director actor traveler writer athlete every artist is in tune with what inspires them it's a pallet that you're cultivating what makes your heartbeat a bit faster take note of these things if you're scrolling
on Instagram and see something that really makes you stop and observe and you really respect the work or you find like an image from the past that really makes you feel something save it if you're on pinch addess pin it and use the F similar images tool if a film has a visceral effect on you and we all have our short list of movies that have done this for us then look at work from the same director or the same screenwriter or the same actor that is in that film and TV same thing you are
a curator now not a consumer I find deep connection to things as goofy as subtle moments in a movie moments that meant a million different things to a million different people a lot of those not even thinking anything of those particular scenes or moments where I look at that and it clicked it moved me and literally could alter the trajectory of my life and guide my decision-making the writer the director of that film has a similar mood board to mine I obsessed over implementing that in my own life what others skipped right past I let
alter my life entirely I've literally traveled to other countries to go surf to go live by the beach to go live that lifestyle to go live in this little City that reminded me of that collection of images that made me feel something that I found on Pinterest one day like this is pretty wild stuff and it sounds nuts but it really does guide everything I do I became dead set on learning Spanish because as a kid I remember watching Bond movies where he would out of nowhere like be able to speak another language and really
like take control of a moment and I thought that was the coolest thing ever it made a lasting imprint on my life and on my eternal mood board every waking second we are exposed to works of art architecture construction mountains Ravines Street musicians dancing laughing running it is us who take Notions from these everyday viewings and turn those transmute those into art into our Life as We Know It inspiring others to do the exact same there is inspiration everywhere you just have to map it ambition is just caged energy if it doesn't have a vessel
you have to guide it you have to tell it where to go let your desire breathe and as I tend to do with these videos I have a notion template that I have personally used over the past handful of years to quite literally map every aspect of my life and I have to preface this and say like this is not a goofy little planner it's not a resolutions and goals like organizer thing everything I have put into this has happened I put where I want to move I mood board it I chunk it down and
I do it I'm move there I put where I want to travel romanticize that and I go there I do this because I not only chunk goals down into simple digestible daily tasks but because I'm mood boor visualize every minute detail of where I am going this is super simple I categorize my life into four simple categories the first being bass where I'm living and where I will live hubs where I will intentionally travel to usually for weeks or months at a time Financial monetary goals as I need resources to provide for the former and
then Personal Fitness mental and spiritual goals it's also important to note that no online tool is capable of operating a human life like we're not machines I attribute a lot of credit to this tool in terms of where I've gotten only because it is the most efficient and optimized way for me to unravel all of the mess in my brain and curate these mood boards to where I can actually get excited about accomplishing certain necessities in my life so we're going to jump to my screen here and go to my mapping template kind of show
you uh how to do this you can just copy and paste this same idea into your own like software or Notes app or whatever or you can uh access the template in the description below okay so here we are as you can see I my base category here hubs Financial personal and this is kind of over the past few years I haven't mapped out my next year yet I wanted to save that for myself kind of personal didn't want to really share that um but you can get access into kind my bird's eye view um
of my life over the past handful of years so uh about three years ago I mapped out this Utah move and as you can see very simple uh it would be a base where I would live quarter q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 that was of last year and then I updated that obviously from 2022 so when I first map this out this is where I mood board it I romanticize it and go through and really find certain visuals that actually make me excited that light a fire underneath me to where I actually like make the step
to doing it you know like it's very easy to come up with all this and say yeah it'd be cool if I moved to California or move to the coast or move to New York but it just kind of stays there as a des and as a what if and for me I find that this process uh really forces me to look at it every day and like I have to do this like I have to go live this out it just looks too sick like I even as I look at it now I'm like
dang I kind of want to move back to Utah but yeah so that's that's the process there and I can't stress the fact enough like this isn't a thing where you just throw stuff on there like oh I want to move to LA okay I'll put like pictures of the coast and get stock images like this is a highly highly vetted process you have to only find certain images certain videos that genuinely move you and speak to you and I know it seems goofy like oh it's just pictures like what like it's not that big
of a deal but if you don't take that seriously then you'll just look at this every day and feel nothing and end up not doing it because of course like it it doesn't move you at all you're not going to feel motivated in any way um so underneath that we have the engineering tab this is where I actually take action so I'm looking at this I'm stoked I'm like yes like this is going to be so cool like I'm ready to go oh well conveniently we have actual uh sites where you can take action so
here is where I would go and find a place to actually live with roommates and then uh found a gym which I saw that all the local students and people my age would go to so right then and there membership I know exactly where I can meet people I can immediately get involved in this new environment in this new city and then a rec league uh sign up link where again like immediately throw yourself into a group where you have people that you see every week co-working one of the cooler spots in the area uh
where you're in an ecosystem where you see people every day that are into Wellness into entrepreneurship into building something into whatever company they're working on which I work remote and do my own thing so that made a lot of sense and then just a Sonic cold plunge membership which again would put me in the environment of people that were focusing on their Wellness every day so there you go ma that all out and sure enough I went out and lived that lifestyle I'll pop some videos and images up of what that looked like and funny
enough it tends to always be pretty symmetrical with the mood board that I curate for that specific action that I take so there you go if we go to Hubs and where I have traveled to as you can see again all these are marked as done um I actually went out and did these things and it's like the most freeing and incredible feeling ever to come back to this and be able to click on this and go from not started or booked or in progress to done like I did it I actually live that thing
out so if we go to Kensington I went down here to stay just for a few nights on The Layover on the way to Aiza and just mood boarded everything what I wanted to kind of see and do in what like mood I wanted to surround myself when I did this trip and I'll again pop some stuff up that yeah kind of ended up being pretty close to what I mapped out here so we have Financial just base income and this can always change like I I try to keep it at 2 to four within
each category so I'm actually just prioritizing things that need to be done instead of like just putting a ton of stuff where I don't even focus on anything and there's just too much noise and I can't uh get anything done so very simple Financial goal that can change I can you know add something like okay I want to hit 20K months I want to just really focus on income generation and and doing that whole bit but as I said I have not um yet mapped out my my next year so this could look very different
personal tennis Spanish both in progress and even these like I I kid you not guys I mood board everything like every little thing is mood boarded so if I don't have that romanticized like trajectory in mind I just I'm someone that just won't do it because I don't feel any excitement I don't feel that fire underneath me and this really helps me do that so mood board for that just imagery it's like yeah like I want to get out there and learn this thing so even if I'm feeling down I'm like I'm just not that
good at this like why am I even doing this like I'm a 25-year-old trying to learn tennis like what's the point I just go back to this and like okay yeah that's that's why like you you want to live a certain lifestyle you want to emulate certain things you want to go out and test yourself and Conquer athletically and learn as many sports as you can and this is part of that again engineering I actually went through the site found a coach and worked on tennis with him three to four times a week and still
still do very very simple very digestible and that's just the bird's eye view so if we go down into the executing tab I went ahead and made this week this is an example so so I'm recording this on a Wednesday but every time I do a new week I'll do Sunday big theme for the week so let's say this one's Spanish and income generation so the related realities would then be Spanish and the base income reality so just to show you what that looks like it'll pull up all of my quarterly goals that we just
looked at up here in the bird's eyee view if it will actually load I type it in there Spanish and then we'll add Bas in so now we have context now we know what we're going after why this week matters why each day matters and you guessed it there is a mood board within this as well so it's like this trickle down system to where you can't lose motivation you can't lose the desire because there's too much like there's too many gaps filled you know there's there's no air getting out of this this system like
you're you're getting after it you're getting it done it's just an example of like an old money aesthetic video or image pardon me there again just all depends on your own kind of eye for the world and what what moves you so if we go down to high level weak Necessities this is just kind of the things that have to get done like really make it apparent that you have to do XYZ and usually this is just two to four maybe six things of if it's a Spanish in income generation week okay you have to
get two hours of Spanish work done you have to get four hours of sales and emails done to actually push that needle like you you're aware of the things that actually change your luck and actually move things in the direction of where you're trying to go if you're not aware of these things you can very often find yourself going through a entire week not making any steps toward that higher level goal and that is the point of not stopping at this because again you can map this all out you can get excited and then you
just are doing the exact same stuff in your day-to-day like nothing's going to change it's just natural law like it won't happen dayto day I honestly don't use this myself CU I'm someone that likes to go with the flow and kind of once I have my high level Necessities down and I I do all this I don't really need to plan my days but if you're someone who really likes structure then this would make a lot of sense for you you can plan out your morning after noon evening every single day for instance here you
would just map out okay tomorrow morning Monday I'm gonna s a cop plunge and then Journal afternoon me reading lunch with friend whatever the case so again up to you if you want to use that but I personally just like to kind of go with the flow so there you have it that is the kind of chunking trickle down system you can get nuts with this thing too like you can go to quarterly views this year in the executing tab see all of your weeks from that perspective of okay this is where things actually change
like I I stacked up these weeks and these days and like my life drastically changed you can see the power of that momentum uh so I won't go fullon in depth of this template right now but that's that's really all you need to know we're going to hop back out of this screen once you have your mood boards built you have everything mapped out it is time to document it social media is a tool to cement evidence of your growth of where you have gone to document the entire Journey that you just mapped out so
you want to go move there you want to have these certain personal goals you want to make x amount of money you want to travel to that place and then meet those people and do this and do that you're documenting this journey of before and after you have internalized this mood board across all of your goals all your desires and really tapped into what inspires you the art that moves you now it is time to take all of that and externalize it through your own content through your own mood board that people can then look
at and take inspiration from themselves and apply it to their own process your brand your content and what you're meant to create now becomes very clear your life and your purpose are now eternally intertwined we all have vessels of our choice it doesn't have to be social media it doesn't have to be making videos or making content for Instagram like it can be physical products it can be like Christopher Nolan feeling at boss of words watching Stanley kubric and feeling the never-ending desire to do the same in his own way through film Steve Jobs seeing
the Polaroid camera and not quitting until he created his own luxury piece of tech I'm not here to tell you what you're meant to do or what you're meant to create your mood board will make that abundantly clear all you have to do is go through that process of tapping in to these things you are a mood your life meaningful beyond measure others observing with their eyes in awe taking Snippets from your own Journey your own documentation and putting those in their mood board it is our duty as creators sent from creation to create to
be a mood for someone moodboard your life and watch yourself live up to expectation take care Landon [Music]
