One of the most valuable take-aways from the iChoose program is the importance of self-reflection and discovery. iChoose uses a life line activity to create a framework for understanding how the overview of your life and work experiences shape personal passions and provide feelings of fulfillment. Although the acquisition of a career is in the future, reflection on the past reveals how major life events, influential people, and living environments all interact and build upon one another to determine your goals and values. Taking the time to connect the dots can reveal themes or trends that illuminate what path is right for your future. If you're not confident or aware of your passions, all there is to guide you is what you think you should be doing, if that's even clear. When you discover and reflect on what your life means to you and what you love to do, you'll be ready to set your sights on a meaningful career that provides fulfillment and excitement. This will grant you ownership of your career, making the conversion from dreams to reality much clearer, tangible, exciting, and personal.
Take a look at the life lines of September 30th's iChoose class. As you can see no two are alike in content or design! Most people found that sharing and explaining their life's progression aloud to someone else, in combination with peer feedback, provided new insights into their life's themes. On the other hand, listening to other peoples' personal influences, joys, challenges, and work experiences was inspiring and mind-opening. While the life line activity is fantastic, self-discovery is a continual process that requires constant reflection on your past and thorough analysis of what you experience with each passing day.
