In my last post, I wrote about how I’d like to help people go after their dreams. I’ve done a bit of thinking and come up with some ideas for how to make this a reality.

Essentially, I’d like to work with people to help them figure out their dreams and get moving towards them. In particular, I’d like to help people with their dreams related to personal growth and contribution. There are heaps of things you can do in these areas, such as finding more meaning and enjoyment in your study or work, improving your physical condition and energy levels, developing new skills, becoming more relaxed and peaceful, expressing your creativity, or just finding a way to help out a friend in need.

To start with, I’d like to work online, using email and online chat. The process I’d like to use is to work with you on developing your vision and motivation, create a plan together, then help you follow the plan and overcome any obstacles on the way.

I’ve been studying personal development for a year or two now, but I’m only just moving into this field, so I’d like to ask for some help getting started. I’m looking for some volunteers who would like some help with a dream, and who don’t mind my inexperience. I’m not charging anything for this. Right now I’d just like to grow my experience and my skills. Eventually I’d like to turn this into a career, but I’ll take it one step at a time.

So, please let me know if you, or anyone you know would like to give me a go. You can reach me at: rohan AT rohanmitchell DOT com. Thanks for reading, and hope to hear from you soon!

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my life purpose recently, and I’ve made a lot of progress over the last few days. Tonight I sat down to do a bit more thinking. I typed “What’s the essence of my purpose?” and hit Ctrl-v to paste it in. I obviously hadn’t copied the text I expected, because I got “Order books from amazon in ‘to buy’ list”. I hope the universe is laughing with me and not at me :p

I’ve been thinking that I deeply enjoy having a vision and going after it in a really courageous and passionate way. A prime example that springs to mind was the time I tried polyphasic sleep for 3 weeks, a few years back. It was a real challenge for my self-discipline, but I had so much enthusiasm for the idea that I enjoyed it on a deeper level, even as I struggled to make it to the next nap in the early mornings.

I also love hearing other people talk about their dreams, especially if they’re a bit off the beaten track. I love seeing them come alive when they talk about them. Too often though, I don’t see much more than that, so I’d like to get more involved and help people go after their dreams and achieve them.

So that’s what’s on my mind at the moment. I’m hoping to do some more thinking and planning first, and eventually move my life in this direction.

Where do you want to go in life? I’m curious, so let me know in the comments

Update: I’ve written about the process I used on the Steve Pavlina forums.

Here’s the pictures to accompany my previous post on reverse coiling:

The first loop. To make this loop, my right hand is twisting the cable anticlockwise.

Making the second loop. This time my right hand is twisting the cable clockwise, the opposite direction to the first loop.

Another view of how to make the second loop.

And it’s done! If your cable is longer than mine, just keep alternating between clockwise and anticlockwise loops. When the cable is uncoiled, the twists will cancel out and the cable will sit flat.
