How to Design the Life You Want: A Practical Framework
In this episode of Tim Stating the Obvious, we dig into “How to Design the Life You Want: A Practical Framework.” Too often we ask ourselves “What do you want to be when you grow up?” when the real question should be, “What do you want to grow into?” Because success isn’t about a single job or destination—it’s about designing the life you want step by step.
Using the Army’s Be, Know, Do philosophy as a guide, we’ll explore a time-tested tool for designing the life you want to lead. First, clarify who you are becoming—the values and character that define you. Then, identify the knowledge and skills you need, and finally, take decisive action. This is about more than motivation—it’s about how to design a system to get your goals accomplished and live the life you want.
The bottom line: remember, it’s up to you, and only you, to design the life you want. If you don’t take ownership, someone else will—and their version may not match designing the life you really want.
By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a clear path to start designing the life you want today.
