Features: This book provides a practical method to determine your priorities and live accordingly. Knowing who you are and persistently living in accordance with this understanding is the foundation of a successful life. To make your life truly meaningful, there is no better formula than following the step-by-step process described in this book. People without goals will inevitably be used by those with goals. This book is divided into four parts, each further divided into several chapters.
Part 1 explores the power of truly understanding yourself. First, we examine those who seem to know who they are, are resolute and persistent, and the power that comes from this self-awareness. Many of our heroes in life, those we must look up to and aspire to emulate, seem to possess this ability. In this chapter, we will identify some common characteristics of these individuals and explore how this understanding can inspire us to discover our true selves.
Part 2 is the core of this book, helping you discover what is truly important to you. You will learn about the "three elements" of roles, values, and mission, as well as the relationships between these fundamental elements, and their role in uncovering your true self and what is truly important to you.
Part 3 shifts to taking action on these truly important matters.
Part 4 looks at the process from a broader perspective.
