Future paths
Free — no account needed to read
Sketch three possible futures side by side, and see what each would ask of you.
Imagine three different paths your life could take — they can be very different, or variations on one idea. Then explore what each would require, give and cost, and who you might become.
The questions
- Path A — describe it in a line
- Path B — describe it in a line
- Path C — describe it in a line
- For each path: What would it require? · What would it give you? · What would it cost? · What kind of person might you become? — for Path A, Path B, Path C
- What stays the same across all of them — what do you value in every version?
- One small step to learn more about one of these paths
Afterwards
Turn your answer into one next step, and take it to My Vision Board.
