From the book "What's My Dream?" by Simon Squibb. Chapter 5: Three Questions.

Question 2
- What is my pain? Find your pain anchor.
- What has caused the most pain in your life?
Feeling alone and not enough to do good and provide. Like I am not worthy for a chance at the spotlight. Like I don't deserve to make money and provide.
Question 3
- How can I help others?
- What can I do to help?
- What problem am I solving, need I'm meeting, difference will I make to the people I engage with?
Bonus Question
- How can I be sure?
- How do I know this is really my dream?
- Is there any way this can be guaranteed?
Sit with the idea for days or weeks. If it slips away, great. If it can't leave you and you find yourself working on it, then you know. It will be easier done than said. You'll feel compelled to fill it, and you'll need to be out of fight/flight mode for this to work. Imagine if you had $5 million in the bank first before doing this. You have to create the freedom to think about it and make it happen.
