Essentials: Clarity and vision

“If one does not know which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable” - Seneca.

🚀 Action

Write down your values, principles, mission, and vision. Also, describe a perfect day of your life.

🤔 The Why

Before setting any goals, it’s important to dig a little bit deeper and learn more about yourself. Achieving clarity about who you are, what guides you, what are your principles and values, is probably the most important task for every human being. Once you know your inner system you can use it as a compass for decision making and goal setting. Having more clarity will allow you to focus on the most important things, and overall should make your life better and you will be much happier and content.
