Title - Creating my life long-term Tags - journal goals
I’m working through the exercises in Your Life as Art by Robert Fritz to choose what I want my inner and outer life to look like in the long term.
Highest values
Freedom Truth Love
Desired inner life
Peace of mind. Deep sense of involvement. Love. Strong relationships. Search for truth - aimless pursuit of reality. Clear sense of direction. A strong sense of place. A connection with nature. Freedom to think and create whatever I want. A sense of play.
Current inner life
I’m anxious a lot. I often don’t feel very involved. I often find myself responding to circumstances. I love my family. I’m not as patient and accepting as I could be. I choose truth above most other values. I’m lacking a sense on direction. Poor connection with nature. I feel free to create what I want.
Desired outer life (quality of life)
Portfolio with multiple income-generating assets. Diverse - freelancing, consulting, digital products, stocks, etc. Assets aligned with my values and aspirations. Generating far more money than I’m spending. Robust safety net. Minimal asset and portfolio maintenance. No debt and minimal risk. Portfolio growing in value.
Living abroad; somewhere warm. Lots of year-round sunshine. Outdoor, active culture. Great for kids.
UK base near parents. Owned outright. Modern-build, bright, spacious. Can grow with us.
Spend lots of time writing. About whatever interests me. In aimless pursuit of reality. Sometimes writing for income-producing assets.
Creating things. Alone - and with the kids and Maria. Digital: media and software. Analog: garden, furniture, etc.
Excellent all-round health. Exercise + outdoor leisure. Alone and as a family. Home gym - indoor and outdoor training. Team sports in the community. Fighting/combat - martial arts.
Current outer life
Two income streams. Both location dependent & ‘pay for time’. No digital assets. Minimal investments. No savings. Live in UK near parents. Renting. I write sporadically. Average health. Injury-free. Stressed and anxious a lot.
