The goal here at Legendary Synergy is to help others by working together to achieve our best life. To create a life we can be proud of and that can support our family in a way we love. In order to be our best selves, we must first know where we are.
Being the best version of ourselves is harder than it sounds.
Before you can begin to be your best, you have to know who you are and who you want to become. What kind of person do you want to be? Do you want to have money so you can help others? Do you just want to be able to quit your job so you have free time? Do you just want to be rich? You must have a goal in mind before you begin.
Try this exercise to get an idea of where you are starting.
You’ll need somewhere quiet, away from distractions, maybe after everyone else goes to bed. Get some paper and a pen for writing.
Now don’t think about this too much, if it comes to mind, write it down. Everything that comes to mind, no matter what. The most important thing here is, to be honest with yourself.
Spend the next 15-20 minutes writing everything down you want to do in your lifetime. If you want to go on a cruise, write it down. If you want to build clean water wells in Somalia, write it down. If you want to fly a plane, you get the idea. Write it down,… everything.
Once you are done, lay down your pen and walk away.
Let it sit for a few hours.
Your mind heard everything you wrote down and is prioritizing it. Leave it alone.. Close your notebook and don’t think about it.
The next day go back to your quiet spot. You need to picture a stranger in your head and think, “Okay what do I think of this stranger?” You need to read what you wrote like it was someone else’s list.
This will give you an idea (if you were truly honest) of where you are, right now!
At this point, you have a good idea of where your current mindset and goals will lead you.
Now some of you might not like what you are seeing.
Maybe the list looks a bit too selfish…
The good news is nothing is set in stone. Remember this is just your starting place.
No matter what you wrote down today, in a year or even a few months you will likely change your goals.
You see, as you grow mentally and emotionally while going through the process of becoming the best you, your thinking will change. You will change… as you become the best you that you can be!
