What plot points would you include if a movie were made about your life?
Do you think it would be entertaining?
How interested would you be in seeing that film?
Goal setting does not lead to behavioural change in humans.
While setting goals can help guide the changes we make, it is through actual action that we grow and develop.
What we habitually engage in becomes a part of who we are.
What we put our energy into grows within us.
The journey is being made one day at a time.
When we stick to the same schedule every day, our lives start to feel mundane.
The two of us are not going to see that film.
When we rise to meet the challenges we face, every day becomes an opportunity to develop.
We succeed, we fail, and we are always living some aspect of the person we hope to become.
That gives our lives some sort of narrative.
I can see how that would make for an entertaining film.
G.I. Gurdjieff recognised that sleep is our worst enemy.
When we rely on our routines and habits, we drift through life unconsciously.
Living on autopilot will not get us to where we want to be.
Thus, development is impossible apart from persistent, deliberate effort.
Look at your life like it’s a movie.
You create the story with the actions you take every day.
It is true that our actions shape who we are.
I need to know the plot of your story.
