Building Yourself 1 - Where do we start from?

Where do we start from?

The process of building starts with two basic questions. Firstly, why do you need to be built followed by what do you want to build? This first question will help you understand the motive behind what you want to do. In as much as we think this is obvious, many people struggle with justifying the pursuit of certain goals, or they simply give very shallow reasons that have no value. It is therefore important that you critically look at why it matters to build yourself. To allow the mind to come up with all the possible reasons why. Removing the toxic ones from the list so that you keep only good reasons.

The second part now comes where you need to decide what you want to see yourself become. It is centered around creating a prototype of how you want your life to be at the end of this whole process. Let your mind imagine and “dream dreams” of what you want to see.

In answering these questions you should bear in mind that you are unique. This means you cannot just copy and paste from others regardless of how beautiful you assume their lives are. The best you can do is take inspiration from them and also learn lessons from their process that may be valuable to yours.

This answers two questions that will inspire your work, drive you to deliver, and guide you to stay on track.
