6 - The road of trials
Let's imagine the map of your journey, your road of trials.
Take a big paper and draw, write or use photos or images
Draw a line from left-below to upper-right corner, feel free to make some turns as life’s journey is never a straight path.
This is the road of your life's map. Divide this road into four stages: for example one for when you were a kid, one for your teenage years, one for your study years and one stage for your future career after that.
Make dots where/when important things happened in the past. On te left or upper side, describe what actually happened. On the right or lower side describe what it did to your inner self.
Past:
Where did you start? How did you grow up? What were the important happenings and people in your life? Did you have certain challenges? What did you learn there, from who or how? What was the reason to leave on your journey?
Present:
Present:
What is now your new ‘home’? How do you feel about your current situation? Do you feel you are far along the way reaching your (first year) goal(s)? What people are you meeting along the way? What motivates you to be here now?
Future:
Where do you want to go in the future, what is your goal? How much do you think you still need to grow/go? What will help you reaching new levels? What are the hurdles and challenges on the way in the coming half year and how do you feel now about them?
