1 min readJul 17, 2020
In this 9-part series I’ll show you how to reinvent yourself as the protagonist (the hero) of your own real-life story. I’ll do it 100 words at a time. Take control of your narrative again.
What values will I stand for? That can be an intimidating question. Let’s make it easier. First ask, How will I choose my values? Identify these navigational attributes:
- Map: How I view the world
- Vehicle: How I navigate the world
- Limitations: My blindspots
- Compass: (Values) The awareness of my position
Even this oversimplified process can be daunting. Let’s make it even easier:
- Find an archetype list.
- Scan values you want to live.
- Choose archetypes with those values.
- Select one archetype.
A good list will include values. We just answered the first two of our identity questions.
