Gather Your North Star

Write a short note about the life you want to live. This is your North Star: a direction you can return to when you make choices.

A way to understand it

A North Star gives a direction to return to as the route changes. Your statement can serve that purpose when new opportunities or different needs ask for your attention.

Go deeper when useful

1. Read one Life Quest or one description of your meaningful 10. Underline the words that feel most important.
2. Write one sentence beginning “I choose a life where…” or use your own opening. You can begin with one area and add others later.
3. If useful, bring your statements together into a short paragraph. Keep room for different ways to express the same values.
4. Read it aloud. Change any wording that feels borrowed, rigid, or distant from your own experience.

An example

“I choose a life with energy for the people I love, room to keep learning, and opportunities to contribute.” This is one possible statement, not a required set of priorities.

What comes next

Use your statement when choosing a focus for the next three months. It can evolve as you learn.
