Your life can seem like a scavenger hunt. You roam around, picking up little clues here and there, all in hopes that a final picture will come together. Without directions, or any guidance above “be better, you,” the hunt seems more like a collector’s hobby.
I want to get you away from the hobby mindset. I want to make that hobby your life. I want to help turn your journey into the path that makes you freaking awesome. Yeah, I said freaking awesome and I’ll say it again. Freaking awesome. It’s just that important to me, and it will be to you, too.
Finding out what matters is a lot like figuring out what to look for in a scavenger hunt. As soon as you’re given a list of things to look for, they are a whole heck of a lot easier to find. But if you don’t have that list of things, you have no idea of what to go after. You’ll either give up or run around chasing other people who like they know where they’re going.
I’ve got a little practice time for you. Look around where ever you’re at right now. Do you see anything special? Look for a little while and really try to notice five things that catch your eye. Please, give this a shot real quick. About how long did it take you?
Now, let’s try this practice exercise with a little more focus. Look around your area again and find five red items. How long did that take you? I’m guessing a whole heck of a lot less time.
See, that’s why focus, and knowing what matters in your life, is so important. When you know what matters to multiplying your life, it all just starts popping out. Learn from this and paint what matters in your life red. Then get up and start noticing. Start by noticing more about your personality, motivators, and strengths.
