Whatever you are now, and whatever you want and what you do where you live, how you dress, whom you marry and where you work- is the sum total of all of you. The unique being that is You. The sum total of all that you have experienced, accumulated over the years. Your programming, conditioning, influences, externally and internally. And it makes up your thinking, your beliefs, your perception of the world.

Who are you? What do you want? What makes you happy?

It is important that we enter into a place of self discovery before we embark on goals. True, we have wants and needs at every and any moment in our lives.

You may want that job so you can feed your family with 10 mouths.
You may want that relationship because it means a lot to you.
You may want that successful business.
You may want to be accepted in the group, so you belong with friends you admire.
You may want to be known as the coolest, smartest guy on the planet. Or the greatest teacher. Or be the most successful entrepreneur on earth.

The difference is distinguishing this from what is truly what you want rather than being ego driven and fear driven.

For example, the promotion may not be the end all of what you want. It may be a symbol of acceptance by peers whom you admire at that moment….

…What are the qualities and core values that you truly resonate with and what are those that don’t?
