Before you plunge into setting goals and start moving, you need to seriously think about priorities in all areas of life. Work, study, love, family, hobbies - all this is equally important. From bending in one direction or another, the remaining sectors of the wheel of life will suffer, which ultimately will lead to dissatisfaction and a feeling of incompleteness.
Three questions
To determine your core values, answer the following questions:
1. If I could combine work with my favorite occupation, what would I do first?
2. If I had $ 1 million in my hands now, where would I spend it?
3. If I suddenly found out that I had only 3 months left to live, what would I do during this time?
Concrete, honest and accurate answers to these questions will help you understand what are the true priorities and goals of your life, what you want from it and why you live at all.
Be specific in defining desires
Everything you want to know can be found on the Internet. Anyone who uses search engines understands how important it is to correctly set the phrase. At first, it seems that the search engine is simply incorrectly arranged, and the secret of success is only in the correct wording of the query “Google” or “Yandex”.
So what do Internet searches have to do with your dreams? One must be able to formulate succinctly requests in relation to one's own life. For example, you dream of wealth. But this is an absolutely dead desire, not backed up by any details. After all, you can be rich as friends, thoughts, souls. You can have rich hair
Or, for example, you want a car. Most likely, you will receive it, but this machine can be a washing machine, a sewing machine, or any other machine that falls under the meager description of your dreams.
Vague definitions are not only useless, they can be dangerous. In one of the episodes of the film “Wishmaster, ” the genie came to the prisoner and said that he would fulfill any desire in exchange for his soul. He wished to go through the bars. The spirit realized this by literally dragging the hero through the bars. But if he said: “I want to go out through the open door of this cell, go through the main entrance, open the gates of the prison and stand in perfect health on the sidewalk outside the bars, ” the demon would have performed everything exactly, and the fate of the hero would not have been so is sad.
