YOUR FUTURE AWAITS!
This book follows the mindset of an Architect designing a building. Where do we begin? What questions need answering? I've figured out that the process for designing anything is pretty much the same. So, we can use this analogy of The Architect, and apply it to our own lives.
WHAT'S INSIDE?

THE FIVE PARTS TO DESIGN YOUR LIFE
PART 1: PURPOSE
The first question we need to answer when designing ANYTHING is... What's the purpose? If it's a building, are we trying to create shelter, aka housing? Or are we trying to create the tallest building? Get it? The same goes for our life, and I'll walk you through a series of short exercises to help you become aware of your own Purpose.

PART 2: DESIRES
Once we know the reason for the building we're designing (or our life) we want to start imagining all we want it to be. All the finer details that we want. For a building, it could be how many windows, color, wood or metal, height, location, smart home, off the grid. For our lives? It's about our desires in all the areas of our life. From our Relationships to our Health and more.

PART 3: INTERESTS
It's time to start imagining how it's all going to come together. The first step along that route is to determine what tools we have at our disposal? And for our life, it's what interests us? What do we enjoy and love? What do we like? I'm going to walk you through how to do this and leave you with an awesome Bonus exercise to make Part 4 (Careers), really come alive.
