chapter 5 Design your life

Now that we’ve covered everything that’s likely to be going on in your head, we’ve arrived at the doing part of the book. This is where you start to think out loud and commit your dreams to paper; create tangible goals; and plan the actions you need to take in order to make it all happen.

The first step is to decide what results you want your actions to give you. If you were living a life you had designed, what would it look like? If this is not something you daydream about, spend some time doing so. Let your imagination run wild.

  • Who would you be?
  • Where would you go?
  • What would you do?
  • Where would you live?
  • Who would you live and/or spend time with?
  • Who would you help?
  • What would give you fulfilment and joy?
