Читать книгу Self Esteem Bible: Build Your Confidence Day by Day - Gael Lindenfield, Gael Lindenfield - Страница 57

This is a hard exercise to do, but well worth it. Imagine that a biographer had been commissioned to write your life story. Would they see it as a comedy, an adventure story, an inspirational heroic tale, a soap opera or a puzzling conundrum with no satisfying conclusion?

Now imagine the kind of biography that ideally you would like to be written after your death. Give it a title. It should be one that will sum up concisely the essence of how you would like to be remembered. For example, the subtitle of Tanya Stone’s biography of Princess Diana sums up the essence of her – Princess of the People (Millbrook Press, 1997), as does the subtitle of Vincent Hardy’s biography of Martin Luther King – The Inconvenient Hero (Orbis, 1996). Remind yourself of your book title whenever you are reflecting on your current life and future plans.
