What makes you uniquely you? What is that one thing you have forsaken that brought you the most joy as a child? What were you doing the last time you were truly happy? If you could do anything in the world, free from the chains of social expectation or economic circumstance, what would that be? Maybe you always wanted to play the clarinet. Become a stand-up comic. Run your first 5K or start your own business. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you ask the question and engage the process of answering it as if your life depended upon it—because it does.
