Dear Reader,

I hope you spent a good time making this list up and it is not just a wishful thinking list. [If you did not create your list, simply pick a pen and paper and list out everything you want to do with your life beyond today. When you are done, then read on.]

Now you know what you want to get done, let's find out where are you currently. Measuring your present disposition by everything you have listed here, write out what is lacking in your life. Detail it down to your very deepest emotions and characters.

Sholom Aleichem said "When you die, others who think they know you, will concoct things about you... Better pick up a pen and write it yourself, for you know yourself best."

Everything about your personality. [I'd advice you read up some stuffs first on personality and personal character and emotional intelligence before writing]. Knowing yourself affects every part of your being. Toni Collette said "The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world."

“Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.”
― Doris Mortman

“You need to know things the others don't know about you. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself.”
― Don DeLillo, Point Omega

Everything you have listed here is great and worthy of pursuit and achievement but a man's success and advancement stems from his beliefs and value system. “With self-confidence, self-education and self-discipline, you can master the act in any chosen field.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

Your search should encompass these areas and answers these questions:

• What are your core values? 

• What makes and mares you? 

• What do you belief about life, happiness, love, people, struggle, money, the future, school, dreams, God, the word of God etc. 

• What's the make up of your character? 

• What are your OWN strengths and weaknesses? 

• Who do you follow and why do you follow that person? 

• What bring out the best in you? People? Money? Negative emotions? Hope? Failure? Success? Achievements? Love? 

• What make you do the things you do the way you do them? 

All these and the many more you will find as you open your heart to explore the virgin grounds of your inner most being will help you find and note your core value system - what your life thrives on - what I would say "makes you tick".

So, next, let's re-evaluate your life based on where you are now. Don't list it this time, write it in details.

• Are you satisfied with your present life? Why is that so? 

• What's holding you back? What needs are you still struggling with in your life? 

• Are you emotionally strong? Why? 

• How well do you live your life in a day - everyday precisely? Do you find joy at the close of each day? 

• Are you really willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get yourself from where you are to where you need to be?

These should lead you into a world of isolation and focus. You cannot be distracted at this point in your life by ANYTHING. You need all the focus you can get to reach into yourself and you do not have resources to cater for any emotions waste of time. You cannot manage yourself and manage people here. You need all the self love and self push and self motivation you MUST generate for yourself and those are too little to share.

You need to do a lot of reading, do a lot of thinking, do a lot of reasoning and ask yourself a lot of questions. Ask helpful and resourceful people questions.

It gonna take a while to get all the answers but my aim is this - it leads you deeper into a world you have never been.

Thank you. Have a nice moment.

Your counsellor,
