A little “Self-Myth Busting” …

Lee just added a comment to yesterday’s post that I thought I should share:

Hmmmm Adrian I find it interesting that your last two posts haven’t received the quick responses as usual. I guess we’re all in deep thought. Thanks for making us “think”.

To which I responded:

By the end of the week, I’m hoping that you will begin to see that most of these limitations to what you really, really want in your life are imaginary …

… then we can set about getting them.

Really!

PS if you are stuck on any/all of these exercises … NOW is the time to ask a question: post a comment or use the Contact Me form … next week is crunch time: you get to find your Life’s Purpose!

AJC,

I’m starting wonder if I misfired on one of the steps. Should I be starting to see hints of future opportunities at this stage? Right now my list of what I want in my life has three items on it. I pared it down from the five I had earlier because I realized that I already had two of the items in my life. I just wanted to make sure I maintained them.

For now my “What I want in my life list” is:

1. To be financially independent
2. To have healthy and plentiful friendships/relationships
3. To have seized opportunities that yield success

I already blamed myself about five different ways for why these items are not as fully developed in my life as I would like. But I’m wondering if I’m seeing the forest when I should be focusing on a tree or two.

Any thoughts? Do you think I’m in the ball park?
Thanks
Jeff

@ Jeff – Glad to see that you are thinking about this so deeply, it will pay real dividends next week.

Do you ‘just’ want to be financially independent … why? … in other words is financial (or other) independence the MEANS or the END? We’re looking for the END here.

Same with the other two: if ENDS … fine. If MEANS … look for what you want to get out of them e.g. define ’success’ – doing an inverted-loop? Or, becoming a ’success mentor’ to Top Gun graduates all over the USA for the next 50 years? [Hint: which of these will have more personal meaning when you look back on your life just before you kick the proverbial bucket?]

And, add the ‘missing’ two: you don’t want to lose them, even if you already have them, do you?

Forests are nice … we’ll pick out the trees that you’ll need in a week or two … trees cost big, you know ;)

Thanks AJC. The more I think about it, 1 and 3 are probably means where as 2 is more of an end…although I suppose it could be a means if you think of 2 as a well established social network.

Time to kick Michael and the chimp out of my hyperbaric chamber so I can take another stab at this in my think tank. :)
