Hello amazing!
Tomorrow is my birthday. 28 years old. I’m not a big birthday fan–and I prefer a minimum of celebration. However, I think it is a great time to stop and check in with my younger self. What were my dreams and ambitions when I was in my teens? Where am I now? Here’s how you can do it too.
Set the frame
Pick a time in your life that you can remember at least in glimpses. I think back to when I was 19 and first went to New York on vacation. Draw yourself in the bottom-right quadrant of the page.
Questions
1: Try to remember what life was like for you at that time. Annotate your drawing and add features to yourself.
2: What were you dreaming of? What were your hopes for the future?
3: how does your dreams from back then compare with your life today?
Happy Thanksgiving and lots of love until next week.
Mathias
