The Unification Epicenter of True Lightworkers
3.1 Step 1 : Get the ‘Big-Picture’ first
What is your ‘Big-Picture’?
This is one of those philosophical questions that go in the same boat as “What’s the meaning of life? And Why are we here?”, and you may never be able to truly answer it for yourself. But if you want to try to define it, your ‘big-picture’ is your one guiding principle, your shining light, that forms the basis for all your decisions and actions. If you were a company, your ‘big-picture’ would be the “Vision or Mission Statement”.
So, it is a statement outlining an idealised description of your life’s outcome. It will inspire you and create your target. It can apply to different parts of your life – your family, your career – and it is the end target that you want to achieve, and where your goals need to take you.
To help you work out exactly what your ‘big-picture’ is, let’s talk about tomb-stones. Macabre I know, but your tomb stone is a concise summary of your life – what you have achieved, and how people remember you. If you truly have followed your ‘big-picture’, then this inscription should be the verbalisation of it.
Consider the inscriptions on the tomb-stones in Figure 2 following. Do any of these or parts of them, appeal to you?
Of course, if your tomb-stone is the concise summary of your life, your obituary is the unabridged version and will essentially be a list of what you achieved in life, in other words, the goals you’ve achieved.
How do you want to be remembered? Think about the following questions to help:
1. What is your definition of success (for you)?
2. What is your definition of failure?
3. What makes you eternally happy?
4. What makes you sad, or what would you rather not end up doing?
5. What would your life look like if it were perfect?
Of course, you may want to be remembered in several ways – as a career woman, family man, skilled professional – there are many aspects of your life that you need to consider. Too much focus on one aspect of your life could leave you feeling empty in another. The classic example here is people who focus too much on their career driven by ‘empty’ goals of power, ambition and making money, only to neglect their family. Most of these people when on their death bed wish that they had spent more time on the ‘important’ things in life – an indication that they didn’t get a handle on their personal ‘big-picture’. It’s a question of balance, and you’re the only one who knows the perfect balance for you.
You may not be able to put your ‘big-picture’ in words yet, but try to visualize what your life would be like if it was perfect in every way and keep this in the back of your mind as you read through the next section - this IS your ‘big-picture’, and your goal setting needs to reflect it.
