WHO IS IT THAT I WANT TO BE
This week I signed up for a seven day workshop with Evan Carmichael because the title, THOUGHT LEADERSHIP is energizing. As the sign on my bathroom wall says: “BE INVOLVED WITH THINGS IN MAKING LIFE BETTER”. I want to sharpen up my skills and continue to learn and grow - sharing these tools.
Evan’s first day had to do with, “Who am I?” With exercises of writing down: my favorite teacher, my favorite movie, my favorite book, and some incidents in my life that made me feel good.
My passion is to study with some of the more open and philosophical podcasters willing to debate and learn from each other. I like listening to individuals having to do with personal growth that are also low in neuroticism. This “Listening/Studying” evolved in the last year or two with the Covid-Isolation.
According to writers such as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky there is a baseline of human suffering. Responsibility and good management of aggression and sex drive for most men and management of emotions as a woman is my baseline. I choose to strive to be the "hero" that strives against darkness.
Language and thinking manifests into action and things according to these gurus. We can change our thoughts and practice new ones as suggested.
Therefore, the second day is an exercise in determining my “WHY” starting with identifying one of the worst days of my life. Then, determining a mission, a path, an action plan for making life better with a purpose statement!
