How can I get what I want in life?
How can I get what I want in life? This is an absolutely fascinating TED talk by Janine Driver about how to get what you want.
She explains that whenever we hear the word “decided” or one of many words that end in ly, such as usually, normally, typically, etc., we need to realise that we have the opportunity to get what we want. There is room for negotiation, and we can change the outcome.
When we make decisions, there are three stages we go through. Research, reasoning and result.
We can use the word “because” to get what we want, and Janine uses her personal story to explain how she managed to do that to complete her family of five.
Project 365
I set up this website after deciding that I want to build a more creative life for myself, so I can give up my job and be in control of my own destiny.
I have set myself a goal of publishing an article on my website every day this year, to document my journey from employment to self-employment.
The name I chose was Project 365 because I see this as a year that I have dedicated to learning and self-development, as I countdown to freedom. It started on 1st January 2021, so I have 180 days to go!
I have decided to set up a blog, and to document my adventures in life through it.
