Reflective essay week 3

This week was all about the subject who am I. During this class I learned a lot about the golden circle. The circle made me realise define my why, how and what. With these three questions I have learned what to focus on when finalising my master plan.

For the why I have learned that the main motivation or thing that I want to accomplish in life is to start a business that helps other people. During the tests I have done the previous week I now know better what my strengths and weaknesses are. With the result it was very easy for me to answer the why question from the golden circle.

I have noticed during this reflection that the how is the most difficult to do. My chosen why is very difficult to achieve in this day and age without thinking too much about money. So in able to execute my final business dream I have to save a lot of money in the mean time. The way I am planning to do this is to work for a company at a high level to, as I have mentioned, save money and gain a lot of knowledge and business experience. From thereon out I can look further for the possibilities to work on my business dream.

What I can do on my how in the present is actually to work on myself. This means to maximise my potential by going to school, learn as much as possible and to pass all my subjects which will eventually results in getting my degree.

If I look at the what question I have to think about my talents the most. What is it that I want and can do? Thinking about my personality I have come to the conclusion that I am very generous. This really comes together with my why because in able to help people I also need to be able to let others get satisfactions.

What I think really stood out this week was that at the beginning of the class we had to share essays with each other. The essays that I heard were very personal yet really eye opening to me as a person. I never knew that these things had happen to my classmates, and I could see that they had real difficulties with sharing it with the class. The stories in the end were very gripping and really got to me. There was this one story about a girl who had lost someone really close to her. I have luckily never lost someone who is that close to me as the person was to her. In the future this will certainly happen. It got me thinking of how to treat the people that are close to you with more love and care. What interests me the most out of the stories is what they have learned from it and have sort of taken it as a life lesson.

For my next essay I have now learnt how to put life lessons in a learn progress and that everything you experience is a new way to gain knowledge for the future. In my next essay I will write something about a past life experience and tell you what I have learnt from it.
