“The great and glorious masterpiece of man is to live with purpose.”
Michel de Montaigne
1. Values
Always start with your Values. Generally, this will ensure you at least end up being who, you'd like to be, even if where you end up in life isnt exactly where you thought you may.
Try start with the section called 'On Commonly Held Values' under Values: Models & Theories to review a list of 26 commonly held values.
2. Inversion
The concept of 'Inversion' from Mental Models in Maths & Science teaches to start with the end in mind.
In other words, if unsure of your Goals / purpose try starting with what you don't want and work backwards. Begin eliminating until what you are left with what it is you do want.
3. Start Where You Are
Simply start working your way through life.
Use The Path as a guide, if you find it helpful, and just begin to work on yourself and make progress, enjoying the journey and process as you go.
This way you will be building your foundations, learning more about the world and where you fit in it, and often, from this process, you will begin to learn more about yourself and what it is that you believe in.
4. Uniqueness
One segment of The Path is focused on helping you to find your uniqueness.
First take the time to Explore the world and its potential.
Then spend some time to Observe and understand yourself.
Lastly, bring it together and Discover where the opportunities of the world and your uniqueness aligns.
We wish you all the best. Enjoy and take care.
