Introduction:
Change is guaranteed in life, but it often feels like an uphill battle. If you’ve ever felt frustrated and stuck in a cycle of no results, unsure of where to start, then this article is for you. In this article, I will be sharing about the power of change and how to overcome the obstacles that hold us back.
Desire for Change:
Throughout my life, I’ve always desired to change and grow. However, I often found myself frustrated and unsure of where to begin. It felt like I wanted to walk confidently, but all I could do was crawl without making any progress. In this article, I’ll share a perspective that will transform your journey of change.
Embracing the Mindset of a Child:
Imagine having the determination of a child learning to walk. Children crawl, stand up, fall down, and keep trying because they know that one day they will walk. I want to share this mindset with you because you are capable of adopting it. Embracing the idea that crawling a thousand times will eventually lead to standing is key.
Creating a Personal Constitution:
To guide you on this transformative journey, I will help you create a personal constitution. This document will consist of principles, values, and guidelines that will serve as your compass toward the life you envision. Just like a nation has a constitution to govern itself, you need a personal constitution to govern your actions and choices.
Components of a Personal Constitution:
A personal constitution is highly individualized and covers different areas of your life. It includes personal goals, beliefs, moral and ethical values, priorities, and desired behaviors. It acts as a guide for your daily choices, actions, and interactions with others.
Benefits of a Personal Constitution:
Creating a personal constitution offers several benefits.
- A personal constitution provides clarity and direction, making your path forward clear.
- A personal constitution promotes self-accountability, ensuring that you stay on track with your intentions.
- A personal constitution fosters consistency in your actions and decisions.
- A personal constitution helps build resilience to follow through even when things get hard
- A personal constitution promotes personal growth.
I recommend two books to help you create your personal constitution:
- The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin – In this book Benjamin Franklin outlines his guiding principles.
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – If you want to craft everything in your life beginning at the start when you are on your deathbed then this is the book.
These two books are very helpful if you want to continue to refine your personal constitution. Continual improvement is very key in life aka “IKIGAI”
Creating a personal constitution requires introspection and reflection on what truly matters to you. In the next article, I will share three ways of thinking and guiding principles to create a solid personal constitution.
Requirements: Pen and Paper to start making a personal constitution.
