Preface
ОглавлениеThe book “How To Explore Your Life Purpose” is the first of a series of New Life Tools. New Life Tools are designed to support people in periods of change and personal development in finding new orientation.
New Life Tools invite you to look at situations and your patterns of thinking and behavior. By exploring your experiences you will learn about your passion, heart's desires, abilities and talents in a playful way.
I often observed that people read many self-help books, but they are not able to implement those advices in their daily life. Reading clever books did not make much difference in the end. Therefore, I decided to choose another way.
What makes New Life Tools so special? It is a different approach and a different point of view: the starting point is you. You and your experiences are from the very beginning in the centre of attention.
What do you really know about yourself? This simple question cannot be answered easily, because 95 % of our thinking and perception are unconscious or subconscious. Thus, we have to find smart ways to discover our innermost desires and thoughts.
With questions you start a process of reflective observations. You take a close look at yourself through 7 days with 7 questions. This self-knowledge is the groundwork for everything else. What sounds so natural is quite new for a lot of people.
A provocative thesis:
Most people are not aware of themselves and are not living in the present moment most of the time. They are bowed down with sorrow, worried about job issues, family problems and their minds tend to drift off into the past or dwell in the future. Often they are stuck in routines and run their daily life on autopilot.
It sounds crazy, but being able to be fully yourself and attentive to each moment is a rare talent.
