How to understand what you really want
1. Throw away “broken compasses”
Take a blank sheet of paper and write down the names of everyone who was important to you in your childhood and youth: parents, teachers, trainers, neighbors, cousins, older friends. Under each name, write down what kind of life this person wanted for you. If you are like most people, you will see how these expectations take an intricate turn: there are many of them, and some may be completely opposite.
Is there a setting on this list to realize your unique potential? Who insisted that you look for your own, original self, no matter what it costs? Very few will see such a wish on their list.
Leave the broken compasses. You should not live up to someone’s expectations, but do what your heart sings.
2. Live for an hour
Over the next hour, you will actively engage in movement towards your goal. Set a timer for an hour and devote yourself to this goal. And only when you hear the signal can you stop.
Discard all "what if." Stop planning! What is your immediate ambitious goal? Perform in comedy shows, or buy an island, go to remote work, or join a kibbutz? What are the first steps to be taken in this direction? Call, agree, make, buy, promise. Actively. Right now.
3. Get to know your inner resistance
And if working with a goal from the previous exercise caused you concern, this is wonderful! Your resistance is ready to go on stage.
Take paper with a pen or voice recorder and write down what the voice of resistance says. This little harmful creature believes that it protects you, trying its best to deprive you of enthusiasm when it feels danger - and it feels danger every time you reach for what you want. It will try to block the road, causing feelings of guilt, shame, inadequacy or hopelessness. But behind his every word lies the secret of liberation.
4. Use these five ideas to find yourself
Find autobiographies of famous people who did the same thing. And the biographies of people who were doing absolutely not what you are doing.
Learn something new. What’s good is to fly a balloon, or breed goldfish. The part of the brain that you exploited too often will rest, while another, which was practically inactive, will work.
Just trust your instincts. Move to anything interesting for you, and get away from everything boring - even if you don't know why it is interesting or boring! Like a flower turning after the sun, you will begin to grow in the direction of things that interest you.
Assign yourself a working goal. A “working goal” is a goal that can change. Something like the working title of a movie or book. Work in progress, and the name is preliminary, conditional, which can be changed when you are done. In the case of a career, this is also suitable. This is exactly what happens by chance.
Create a perfect family for yourself. A family in which you would be supported and understood from birth. Imagine in detail how each member of the family energetically supports you. Allowing yourself to see what your family life could be like, you will begin to relate to yourself differently.
5. Behave as if you are very brave and never fail
Imagine two things. Firstly, that you are a very brave person and nothing stops you. This fantasy is up to you. And secondly, imagine that you will never fail.
What would you do if you had the courage and knew for sure that you would succeed? Write down your answers on paper. It is important.
6. Perfect day
Introduce your perfect day and pay attention to 2 points:
Key scene. You already know what your dream is. Now close your eyes and imagine your favorite moment in your imagination. What exactly is going to happen? Describe what you saw in a few words.
Enjoy the success. After you come up with something to do, imagine how you will rest and relax in your ideal life? Enjoy this fantasy vacation for at least five minutes.
Inside you lives a true genius - one of a kind, curious, with great potential. As soon as you embark on a dream, you will awaken and everything will be filled with meaning. Work zeal sincerely wishes you childish zeal, enthusiasm and recklessness along the way!
