Finding your dream life starts with defining your dreams

Asking the Right Questions

Finding your purpose starts with understanding who you are and what you want on a very deep and specific level.

However, the only way to uncover these insights is by asking yourself questions and giving very detailed answers.

By honestly answering the following questions you’ll have a foundation for building the life you want.

What do you want to DO?

What experiences do you want to have in your lifetime? Be honest with yourself because life is finite and so is the list of peak experiences you can have.

Exercise 1:

  • Write 3–5 things that you want to DO in your lifetime.
  • Examples: Travel the world, start a business, learn filmmaking, perform original music to a crowd of people (I know these examples are a bit vague, but try to be as specific as possible for the best results)
