Find your intrinsic drive in 5 minutes - Guiding Questionare
Feb 8, 2025
What?: Following you find guiding questions which should help you find your intrinsic drive.
How?: By reflection on the most negative experiences in your life.
Step 1:
Answer only the one question that resonates with you the most:
Where did you get your dopamine when you were 8 years old. What did you crave?
What was- or is the biggest challenge in your life?
What were the negative thoughts which your mind cycled around for a super long time or even till today?
What is your mind rubbing against all the time?
You have collected a billion of experiences. One of them naturally must be the worst. Which one?
Examples Stories:
A guy who was betrayed in his relationships got a great rapper doing deep touching tracks around relationships
A guy who was beaten down, never wanted to be beaten down again and became Elon Musk
A guy who hated learning and was insecure all of his life, became interested in education and building a cool educational game
A guy who had hypothyroidism appeard to be an always-angry guy, but [plot-twist] he became very smart in managing his health and advicing others with the same problem
Step 2:
Going to the opposite side of that…write down four scales of goals in opposition to your most negative experiences.The goal needs to include the "growing out" of your most negative experience defined in step one.
What would be a super idealistic life-goal where you are "The Elon Musk of ___?"
What would be a realistic goal to achieve in the next 3 years?
To get track on your journey, what would you be proud of having done in the next month?
Whom would you call about this to start out your journey and make the first step today?
Example goals to start:
Create posts or a podcast around this topic
Create an online course around this topic
Mentor somebody who has the same problem
Doing this for a while you will naturally have a lot of ideas to create more sophisiticated projects around that to also earn money
Why this is powerful:
You can be egoistic pursuing your goals. While you solve your own problem and learn more about it you can learn, make money and find soulmates you can relate to.
You learn the fastest way because your brain naturally loves to solve your big problems. Your couriosity is supercharged.
You can forge your own learning path not needing to rely on anyone
