- Why Am I Here? To Become a Better Person
- How? Learning>Improvement>A Better You
- What does it mean to be a better you? Learning who you are and implementing the golden rule (attending to your own needs as well as the needs of others).
- How Does Knowing This Affect Your Life? Focusing on this makes your life smoother.
Part 1: What are you good and/or passionate about?
- Social skills- are you good at speaking with people or telling if someone is depressed?
- Creativity- drawing, painting, singing, playing an instrument, writing, sewing, etc.
- Technical skills- are you good with computers or devices?
- Leadership- do people tend to follow you? Are you a natural born leader?
- Problem solving- you might make a good detective or troubleshoot declining sales for companies.
step back to figure this out. What do others consistently say about you? What do you do for a living? What hobbies do you have? Don't confuse lack of practice for not being good at a task. You may have an aptitude for a certain skill or talent. People are born with an aptitude for a variety of talents and skills. How good you become at any one of them depends on how much time and energy you work to develop these skills. Eddie Van Halen was born with a talent for music. He is known as one of the best guitar players and could also play the keyboard. But what if, as a child, he declined to pick up an instrument? Eddie's father was a Dutch musician who could play a variety of instruments. Let's say Eddie decided, for any number of reasons, that he wanted to go into a different field from his father. Maybe he saw his father struggle to get a job or maybe he just wanted to show his independence from his father? We make decisions for a variety of reasons. Eddie would still have an aptitude for musical talent and a passion for music, even if he decided to push his passion aside.
If you still struggle with this question, then what are you passionate about? Usually, your skills or potential skills align with your passions. What do you enjoy doing or would like to do? Take a few minutes and visualize (and then write down) what your dream job would look like. Write down what hobbies you would pursue if time and money were of no object. When you are doing this exercise, don't think of any obligations or responsibilities. Don't think about what other people would think of you. Just write down what you want. This exercise is for you alone.
Part 2: What is your personality type?
look at your temperament. Maybe you have a passion for teaching but don't have patience with very small children. Your temperament might be better with older children, teenagers, or adults.
producers of the show want to know as much about you as possible. It is all about you!!!!

The next step, using this information...
