I close my eyes in order to see. Paul Gauguin
The bootstrap journey begins with a point ... you. You are the alpha and the omega. You are every point in between. Once you open the door to the inner pathways, the journey changes forever.
Your Inner Journey Toolkit expands this month with the addition of a practical yet profound tool: Introspection
The capacity to look within is an essential element in the quest to be a bootstrapper. Fundamental questions for exploration include:
- What do I value?
- What do I believe?
- What inspires me?
- What motivates me?
- How has life experience shaped me?
- How have my relationships shaped me?
- What is my core energy?
- What are my strengths?
- What am I doing when I feel happy?
- What matters more than anything in the world?
- What is my unique gift?
- What stops me from sharing my unique gift with the world?
- How do I remove these barriers?
What is the point? Why is it important for Bootstrappers to know themselves?
Whether or not you choose to practice self-inquiry, the values, qualities and experiences that shape your life and the life of your business will continue to affect you and those around you. Introspection gives rise to informed choices, authentic relationships, congruent action and increased life satisfaction.
What is your choice? Will you become a cause instead of an effect? Are you ready to make a commitment to live an examined life and give birth to your unique song?
