One of the suggestions on setting goals and building habits is that instead of answering the question “what?” (i.e., what are my goals or, what do I want to achieve), answer the question “who?”, that is, “who is the kind of person I want to be?”
Let’s try that out, shall we?
- A person whose family is filled with and spreads joy, and is biblically grounded
- A person who lives a healthy lifestyle: spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially
- A person who is knowledgeable on a wealth of topics and is able to make a logical stand on certain issues as a result
- A person who is able to give sound advice, largely thanks to his own experiences, or if not, at least through the experiences of others.
- A person who creates things that are useful and inspiring
- etc?
I feel like there’s more, but the list is already a lot.
The next step is to list down the actions I will take to become the kind of person I want to be.
