No matter what you want to be, do or have in your life, it must be specifically tailored to suit you. But, who are you anyway? Ancient philosophy says it’s important to “know thyself.” And this is the starting point of any successful quest.
There are so many different things demanding your attention, and subtly and not so subtly influencing you, that unless you set aside occasional time for quiet, written down introspection, it’s very difficult to distinguish between your own thoughts and ideas and all the other various opinions.
If you’re ready to get to know yourself better, you can begin by asking the five simple questions below. With paper and pen, list the answers that come to mind by brainstorming. (This means writing down everything you think of without judging and evaluating the answers.) Afterwards, review and organize your list, by copying the relevant answers onto another sheet of paper.
When dealing with question #4 (“What is the price I have to pay?”), realize that your price might not entail giving something up. Better time management, attitude improvement or learning to delegate could be part of “the price.”
This exercise gives you the power of personal clarity and focus. All you have to do is sit down with paper and pen and begin it. Here are the questions:
1. What do I enjoy in life?
2. What am I good at?
3. What do I want out of life?
4. What is the price I have to pay?
5. Am I willing to pay the price?
Sounds simple enough, right? But, it’s one of those simple things that can make all the difference in the world. So, what are you waiting for? Do it!
