Understand: Establish Direction

Professional Choices

1You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

Page 4: A Designer Life!

You don't want to drift from one choice to another!

You do not want circumstances to decide for you!

Make a conscious choice.

Devote time to it and not jump to conclusion. You just have one life and one of you.

Look in past, present and imagine the future.

Question what makes you happy and excited?

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

Page 5: A Designer Life!

Clarify with yourself your choices to make sure that they are not just vogue or influence!

Challenge any doubts you have in mind and have 100% buy-in from yourself.

Don’t force but engage and involve yourself.

Once you have clarified, you would see surge in commitment and dedication.

You may want to call it your VISION!.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

Mind has a mind of its OWN.

Science behindThe two brain theory: Frontal lobe and limbic

The limbic system supports a variety of functions, including emotion, behaviour, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction. It appears to be primarily responsible for emotional life, and it has a great deal to do with the formation of memories.

The frontal lobe, involved in conscious thought and higher mental functions such as decision-making, plays an important part in processing short-term memories and retaining longer term memories which are not task-based.

Difference: Consciousness is awareness of one’s body and one’s environment; Self-awareness is recognition of that consciousness—not only understanding that one exists, but further understanding that one is aware of one’s existence.

Another way of thinking about it: To be conscious is to think; to be self-aware is to realize that you are a thinking being and to think about your thoughts.

Humans are more than just conscious—they are also self-aware.

Mind has a mind of its OWN.

3 PLAN:Identify The Path, Simulate The Execution

Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.

Mind the GAPYou know what you want in life (Establish Direction)

You know who you are, what are your strengths, weaknesses and what’s missing!(Evaluate Yourself)

Visualize the GAP, Analyze the GAP, Summarize the GAP!

Break the needs into long term, mid term and immediate!

Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.

IDENTIFY:The GAP between

where you are today and where

you want to be!

Page 19: A Designer Life!

MAKE a plan. Stick to purpose and not plan. Plan invariably change with setbacks.

Simulate the journey. Often! Habitual-lize.

List the resources you would require. Find the building blocks, the stepping stones!

Decide the Price you are willing to Pay!

Mind has a mind of its OWN.

The subconscious mind Your subconscious mind is like a huge memory bank. Its capacity is virtually unlimited. It permanently stores everything that ever happens to you.

Your subconscious mind is an unquestioning servant that works day and night to make your behaviour fits a pattern consistent with your emotionalized thoughts, hopes, and desires.

All your habits of thinking and acting are stored in your subconscious mind.

Nothing plays more important part in your life then your character which in turn depends on hardcore beliefs and habits which a human can cultivate.

And your character is resultant of your Value System. So build our value system consciously.

Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds:

Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.

Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
