Without a clear direction in life, it’s hard to make the change you want to see in the world or to become the person you’ve always aspired to be. And without a sense of purpose, the direction you need to take can be a struggle to discover.
So now, I want you to grab a piece of paper. Because this is where taking notes is really important. I want you to sit with that pen and paper and really think about the questions I’m about to ask you.
When it comes to planning your future, there are a few things you need to stop and consider:
What were your dreams and desires when you were younger?
Have your dreams changed over time, or have you just told yourself they weren’t worth pursuing?
What are you really good at? What things come naturally and easily for you?
What really excites you and gives you a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment?
What would you regret not fully doing, being, or having in your life?
I know these aren’t easy questions. But what I’m trying to get at here is helping you identify what’s the most important to you in life.
Because when you find your passion and your purpose in life, suddenly the path to becoming the person you want to be is so much more clear.
Once you know what your passion is, it’s time to start planning.
