Questions – Finding True North

If you already had all of the material things that you could possibly want, and had more money than you could ever spend, how would you be spending your days? It may be tempting here to think that you’d just like to sit and do nothing or something along those lines, especially if you feel overworked or stressed currently. While that maybe describes a way to catch your breath and recharge, that in itself will definitely not be fulfilling for long, and doing nothing will become dull very quickly as you are a creator at your core. That means want to do certain things to have your hands in the clay have new experiences; things that feel like following your bliss. It is those things that we want to identify here.

Spend a few minutes daydreaming and then write down how you imagine your ideal days would look like.

As a child, what did you dream of becoming one day? Why did you want to be or become that, i.e. what made it appealing?

What do you find yourself drawn to in terms of interests? It does not matter if it something that you do not do a lot of currently, it is more about what you find interesting. A clue: these are often things that you read about or watch shows/videos about.

Describe those things that you are naturally good at. Of course, just because you may be be good at something doesn’t mean you’re passionate about it, but still write these down as you may find elements from it which can help form a bigger picture of your interests. Also, do not attach value to these as you write them down by thinking some skills sound more useful or valuable than others. Write everything down that comes to you, and that you recall people telling you that you are good at.
