Inventory.
It’s a grey, dead word that conjures up images of counting rows upon rows of whatever crappy product was involved with whatever crappy job you had once upon a time.
Forget that kind of inventory. We’re after something much more useful.
What about those things and experiences that give you pleasure? What about those things that weigh you down?
Sit. Take 10 minutes and write down those things that give you joy and those that give you nothing but headache.
Look at your list. How can you get more of those things that bring joy? How can you get more things (or experiences) that are similar to them? Why do they make you joyful?
Now look at the headaches. Why are they still in your life? Can you cut them out? Are you afraid to do so? Do you believe yourself unable to eliminate them?
If you cannot answer any of the above questions, put the list away and look at it again tomorrow. Think about it on your commute to work. Ponder it during lunch. Keep grinding on it.
Answers will come.
