HOW DO I GET TO KNOW MYSELF?

You need to rediscover your unique blueprint, which holds within it your personality, talents, passions and the values that make you who you are. There are people who have a natural talent for making people laugh, for healing or for Nature. As noted earlier, there are also those who have a natural talent for creating inspiring works of art, for playing a musical instrument or for singing in tune without effort. It’s this differentiation that makes the world such a wonderful place in which to live. And we all have passions, values and talents. If your Inner Critic is telling you otherwise, tell him or her (politely!) to shut up until you’ve finished this section of the book.

Each one of us shares the common purpose of contributing something of value to this world by using our unique set of passions, values and talents.

Unfortunately, as also mentioned before, our blueprint gets covered up early on in life when our parents, teachers or friends tell us, ‘You’ll never be able to do that,’ ‘You’re just not clever enough’ or ‘You can’t do that, it’s far too expensive.’ We accept these restrictions as the limitations of our world and our lives. We drift off-course and then we wonder how on Earth we came to be in the situation we’re in. Our beliefs take over our lives and direct us to destinations we would never have dreamed of visiting. A strong indication that you are living your life by someone else’s rules or beliefs is that you can’t make decisions for yourself; you don’t trust your gut feelings and instead seek out ‘expert’ advice; you hate shopping for a new outfit because you haven’t got a clue what suits you; you end up going along with everyone else’s ideas instead of your own and then come to resent it.

When we follow our unique blueprint it will bring us increased joy and happiness. This blueprint is the fundamental bedrock of who we are. So if we know what our blueprint is, we can start to build a life around it, thereby increasing our overall happiness and joy. It’s only when our lives are in conflict with our blueprint that we become discontented and unhappy.

In general, if an area in your life isn’t working (such as a job or relationship), it’s off-balance with your blueprint and this may be an opportunity for you to re-assess it. For example, I could easily have become a maths teacher (at a very basic level), but maths was not a subject I enjoyed, nor was I particularly good at it, so to base a career on it would have been futile. Instead, I decided to create a career I truly enjoyed, which encompassed all my natural skills, strengths and abilities. The result: I love what I do and wake up each morning with a spring in my step and passion for the day ahead.

When you uncover your blueprint, things fall into place naturally and you suddenly feel like you’re not swimming against the tide any more.
