Dream Life Blueprint – Phase Two: Discovering Your Real Self

Welcome back to the Dream Life Blueprint—your step-by-step journey to lasting change. If you missed the Intro or Phase One, take a moment to catch up!

In Phase One, you dreamed big and envisioned your ideal future self. Now, in Phase Two, it’s time to take an honest look at your current self—a crucial step in bridging the gap to your dream life.

Why Phase Two Matters
To grow, you need to know where you already align with your ideal self (your strengths) and where gaps remain. This clarity is essential for creating a realistic and effective growth plan.

Goals for Phase Two
1️⃣ Identify Alignment: Spot strengths that already reflect your ideal self.
2️⃣ Spot the Gaps: Pinpoint where growth is needed to reach your vision.

The Process: Taking Stock of Where You Are

→Reflect on Yourself

➢Are your daily choices aligned with your values?
➢Are you showing up as the leader, partner, or friend you aspire to be?
➢How well are you managing stress—and its effects on those around you?

→Recall a “Best Moment”

➢Think of a time you were thriving.
➢What strengths helped you succeed?
➢What about the environment made it possible?

→Gather Feedback
➢Ask 10 people who know you well to describe moments when you were at your best.
➢Look for patterns in their feedback—what strengths and qualities stand out?

Why Focus on Strengths?
A strengths-based approach fuels growth. Research shows it broadens thinking, increases openness, and makes change more effective. Focus on what you want to become—not just what you think needs fixing.
