Life is punctuated with tough choices. Should I revise for exams or spend time with my friends? Do I apply for a better job or build my own company? Is it better to spend time with my aging parents or with my young children?
Get clear on what’s important to you now and in the longer term. This will help you make better choices and decisions.
Where do I want to be in ten years? Write down 3 versions of your future. Maybe you’ll be retired. Perhaps you are working in your dream area. The other option could involve moving home or country.
What would my ideal life look like? University? Married? Kids? High income job? High status job? Great investments? Retire your parents? Where do I live? What do I do? How many holidays each year? For how long? Where? Doing what?
Am I willing to sacrifice pleasure today for a better tomorrow? Most people aren’t.
Do I need to work on my discipline? Are there some messes I need to tidy up (physical, environmental, mental, emotional, spiritual)? Get one sorted at a time. Start today.
Tough questions will move you forward faster than anything in life. Can you handle the truth?
