Having a clear picture of who you are and what you want is something that most of us don’t stop to think about. We start and end our days without giving much thought to whether or not we are on the path we should be on.
Most of us lead our lives without giving much thought to our true purpose or intentions (our WHY). We end up trying to live the lives that the marketing and advertising companies, and social media sites misguide us into believing we should be living.
The end result is a society of people that are out of balance, and out of touch with what really matters. We spend so much time trying to be something and someone other than who we really are.
Setting goals regarding where you want to get in life or who you want to be is a good start. But, if you don’t begin with who you are and where you are, it will be difficult for you to set a course for your desired outcome.
You must begin by looking inward to understand who you are and what your core values and beliefs truly are.
Only then will you be able to chart a course for the life that you desire and deserve.
