Hey Mindfulness Mavericks!
Ready to dive into some life-altering wisdom from our latest episode with the incredible Joe Huff? Joe is the co-author of Experiential Billionaire: Build a Life Rich in Experiences and Die with No Regrets.
What adventures make your heart sing?
Well, buckle up, because we're about to drop some serious knowledge that will help you get off the fence and take the necessary steps to start living your dreams.
Here are the top 5 takeaways from the episode:
1. Live Your Ideal Life NOW!
When researchers from Cornell asked thousands of people at the end of their lives what their biggest regret was, a whopping 76% said, "not living my ideal life."
Through his many wild adventures, Joe realized that life experiences are far more valuable than the accumulation of money. "Money comes and goes, but your experiences, you never lose those," Joe says.
What if you stopped waiting for retirement or the "right time" and started planning to live the experiences you have been dreaming of? What is the first step?
2. Giving is the Ultimate Experience.
Joe's journey took a profound turn when he and his business partner and co-author Bridget Hilton started a company to provide hearing aids to people in need.
One of his most memorable experiences was helping an 18-year-old girl in Peru hear for the first time. "Her eyes lit up, her parents started crying, we started crying," Joe recalls.
All the feelings that come with the experience of giving will last a lifetime.
So instead of only sitting on the beach you have always dreamed of, make your experience more memorable by finding how you can jump in and help a community in need. Your Soul will thank you and so will the people you are helping.
3. Expand Your Worldview
Experiencing different cultures can significantly broaden your worldview.
Joe shares a touching story about his time with the Maasai tribe in Kenya, where he discovered that despite cultural differences, we all share common human values like music and dance.
"People are really the same," Joe notes.
So, get out there and explore the world—you’ll discover that all people want the same basic things: a sense of love, connection, and belonging. When you experience these things from other cultures, it will expand your worldview and broaden your horizons.
4. Time is Your Most Valuable Resource.
Joe stresses the importance of using your time wisely. Whether it's spending quality time with your kids or pursuing your passions, make sure you're investing your time in things that truly matter.
"Do you want your kids to live the life you tell them to live or live the way you show them to live?" Joe asks.
What if you lead by example and teach how to make every moment count?
5. Don't Wait for 'Someday'.
One of the biggest traps that many people fall into is waiting for their retirement to kick in or for the perfect moment to start living our dreams.
Here's a secret—the only time it ever is, is RIGHT NOW!
Whether it's traveling, learning a new skill, or spending time with loved ones, don't put it off. "Someday" is not a day on the calendar and tomorrow is not guaranteed! 🤔
Take action now and make your dreams a reality. Create experiences that will inspire more great experiences.
