- [Narrator] There's one habit that can make you rich,

happy, successful, and it can make all your dreams come true

Present continuous

and I'm gonna tell you what this habit is

and his parents really pressured him to go to college,

and like most kids, Chris never really questioned

His parents went to college, his smart friends at school

were going to college, and the successful people

in Hollywood movies usually went to college,

and the only thing that Chris really wanted in his life

and just the thought of them not being proud of him

So Chris went to college, and he had no idea

but he was a very smart kid, so his friends and family

told him that he should go into medicine.

"and you don't hate the idea of being a doctor,

"then you should be a doctor," his dad would tell him,

"Dude, girls love doctors, and they make so much money

So because Chris liked the sound of all this,

especially if I don't hate it, Chris thought to himself.

and soon, he started to make a lot of money,

and soon after that, he met a really lovely girl

and she had good morals, and she was a kind person,

And similar to how Chris didn't really question

He had money, status, he married a girl that most guys

He had everything that society and his family

viewed as success, and he lived like this,

but at the age of 40, Chris started to feel weird.

He found himself just kind of going through the motions

of his life and everything became such a routine.

run on the treadmill, and then, he would go to sleep.

There was no reason for me to be feeling like this,

And he couldn't figure out what was going on,

when Chris' life took a really dark turn.

The people who he had wanted to make proud

had passed away, so he was no longer under the spell

of their judgment and his life goal of making them proud

was kind of irrelevant, because they were gone.

Chris had no idea how to handle him emotions.

He felt like there was this giant hole inside of him,

He couldn't really afford to just stop working,

He had a wife and two kids that he had to provide for.

Chris' life was no longer just about him,

and he had to take care of the responsibilities

He never felt whole, he never felt complete,

The sad thing about this is that Chris' life

is actually very common, but instead of becoming a doctor,

it could be becoming an accountant or a teacher,

or even a plumber, but the underlying problem

is always the same, and it's that most people

have no idea what they want to do with their life,

or they feel like something is missing in their life.

The one habit that will kill that feeling of emptiness,

and the one habit that can make you rich,

happy and fulfilled is to practice something

and the technical definition of self-awareness

is conscious knowledge of one's own character and feelings.

I'll explain what this means through an example.

I think most of us here would like to be rich one day,
