You Are Not What You Eat

You are not what you eat.

You are what you like or dislike. What you do or don't do, etc. You are what you like. You are what you're interested in. You are what you're good at.

I'm just trying to reframe that that actually the phrase "you are", because the only thing that you actually are is an unique individual. 

You are not predefined. You can do whatever you want. You can learn whatever skill that interests you. You can move forward in any direction you choose, and there is nothing that is holding you back except for you. So keep an open mind. 

Write down as many things that you can think of that you like, and they're going to need to be relevant to your career. Because this is the context of what we're talking about. But what types of things in the past, or do you know that you really like, or you're gravitated towards? Not just in your personal life, but also in your professional life, like past jobs, what types of things in your past jobs did you really enjoy? 

What we're going to do is create effectively like a vision board for characteristics and the types of things and characteristics of situations, both personally and professionally, that you want to gravitate towards.

And so that once you do this exercise, you will be able to start identifying some of these things in say a job description or with a company.

The value in this is identifying these characteristics. In a way that you can remember, because if you're writing them down and thinking about them and actually writing them down on the paper, you're much more likely to remember, and then also recall those things when you're out looking at, say a job offer or a job description, or, something you're applying for.

This would be the first step in creating a roadmap for the types of jobs that you want to attract into your life.
