How to Create a Vision

My friend asked me a great question recently on how to create a life strategy rather than following the default path.

Before you create a strategy you need to have a vision, you need to know where you want to go.

How do you create a vision? First, develop self-awareness. Once you know yourself, you know what you want, and once you know what you want, you can create a strategy on how to get there.

How do you develop self-awareness? In short: meditate, do the thing that scares you, follow your curiosity, and explore.
