You want to DESIGN YOUR IDEAL LIFE?
But wait! What comes first: Ideal Career or Ideal Life?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be blunt: before you start even cooonsiiidering creating your Ideal Career, you need to figure out what your Ideal Life would look like.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You see, a CAREER is more than just about a CAREER.
It’s about feeling alive!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And here is why. But before that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of us settle for smaller goals than what we would be capable of:
→ We don’t believe we could achieve something bigger or better.
→ We do not dare.
→ We are afraid of what people might think.
→ What if we fail? (before we even try...)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But these are just your limiting beliefs talking. Don’t listen!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
NOW…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...THIS is the right time to go beyond your current limitations and beliefs. That negative mental chatter keeps you Stuck and Holds You Back.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aren’t you tired of all this?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FIRST THINGS FIRST
1. Find out what you really want in life. What your ideal life would look like.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2.Figure out what sort of career would support that dream life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some questions to guide you through your introspection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just remember, we are talking about the IDEAL life, so go wild.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unleash your imagination. And be specific.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, here they come:
✐where do you want to live?
✐who do you want to be?
✐who would you like to be spending your time with?
✐what sort of home would you like to have?
✐what sort of work would you like to be doing (list your skills, maybe)?
✐what would you do for fun?
✐what would a normal day look like?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At first, many people find this assignment a little difficult. If you get stuck, try to picture an IDEAL DAY. Close your eyes and be as vivid as you can.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because you see.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A CAREER is more than just about a CAREER.
It’s about LIFE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Ana, an amazing lady I was fortunate to work with, did this exercise, she realised that her ideal day was within her reach.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She wrote it all on paper. Her top priorities were these:
👉 spending more time with her family
👉 open her own beauty salon
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fast-forward few months, she made it and she’s now living her dream, doing:
✌what she wants,
✌when she wants +
✌spending time with her family!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dreams do come true, but you need a roadmap to show you the way.
!!! Start making even the smallest step in the direction you want to head and you will soon be there. But first, figure out where you want to be and which kind of ideal life you want to live.
