MY LIFE THEMES
1. Self Start Business (SSB)
CREATING A
• The skills of self start business were picked up from my mother and her
side of the family, as they have all operated their own sales and business.
SELF START
(LSPN, pg. 3)
• Career Anchors, my highest score in this assignment was 77 under
BUSINESS
Entrepreneurial, as well as a 76 for my 2nd career anchor of
independence. (CAA)
• ”I plan to start my own business in service in real estate sales”, a
statement I made answering the third question. (3Q)
• In the identities exercise, I explain that my role as a real estate agent
gives me an identity that I can be passionate about. (ID)
• I drove for Uber and Lyft full time, which considered me to be a self-
employed driver, giving start to my first business of a driver. (LSPN, pg.
22)
• I mention to my counselor as a teen I had dreams of starting my own
music career, and continually gained new knowledge in music
production. (LSPN, pg. 12)
Contradicting Evidence:
THEME 2: music from scratch is indescribable. Having the ability to connect with others
through music and the peace it brings to my environment is hard to establish in
THEME 2: • I was very inconsistent with music creation, never taking it serious
enough. (LSPN)
MUSIC • This was always placed second compared to other life themes, limiting
my time I’d focus on this life theme. (LSPN)
CREATION • My ability to create music was limited by the amount of time I would
AND
invest in it. (LSPN)
PRODUCTION Reflection
CONT. I think after seeing exactly how much time I invest into this passion of
mine; I am going to say I am disappointed with the amount of attention it
receives. For me moving forward, this will be a life theme I focus more on and
learn on developing more towards the growth and impact it will have on my life.
I somehow always fall back on this life theme in my life since I was young and
felt that I let go of this passion completely.
By continually learning, I will be able to grow my skills and sharpen my
potential at success. I can never know too much and with a world that is
THEME 3: constantly changing, it is very imperative and important that I focus my time on
making sure I don’t fall behind with the times and apply continuous education to
CONTINUOUS (LSPN)
EDUCATION
• Having the academic ability was something I took for granted, choosing to
fail in school and dropout was a bad choice I made in my teen years. (LSPN)
CONT. Reflection
FREEDOM & opportunities just how well freedom in the workplace can be and how it can
provide me with a sense of life.
WORK LIFE
BALANCE
Supporting Data:
• Having freedom ultimately gives me joy in life. (3Q)
• My second career anchor tested high in autonomy/independence,
independence being the trait that shows I am wanting to be free of the
corporate world. (CAA)
• Switching to a career of a driver in Uber provided me with freedom to
explore other industry options. (LSPN)
• Independence was my top work value on the assessment. (WVI)
• I talked about being free on my LSPN, regarding future career choices.
(LSPN)
THEME 4: Contradicting evidence
for this life theme, I don’t seem any contradicting evidence to be present
FREEDOM & because since this is more of a newer life theme for me, I have been learning as I go.
BALANCE
when reflecting on the idea of freedom, it is clear to pinpoint that this became
important to me after becoming self employed as an Uber driver. This was a new
opportunity for me, and the freedom to venture out on this was remarkable in the
CONT. end. This was one of those decisions I made for myself that was very important to
me regardless of how others perceived it. It led me to be free and set the new
standard when it comes to career opportunities and work lifestyles.
THEME 5: Leading a team to success is something I wall always be passionate about. I think
it is natural for me to walk into a room and somehow find dominance amongst the
MANAGING group. This always leads me to be in charge of the group of whichever situation I
fall into.
TEAMS
51%. This shows that I am more dominant amongst a group setting.
(DISC)
• When it came to my career, I always focused on working my way up the
ladder, such as how I did in Panda Express. (LSPN)
• When the opportunity is not available for me to be able to professionally
grow, I seek the opportunity to be able to do so elsewhere. (LSPN)
• My score of ENTJ on my Human Metrics assessment shows that I have a
natural tendency to marshal and direct. (HM)
• I scored rather high in conscientiousness, scoring a 76 in this section.
This shows skills of discipline, efficiency, strong sense of duty, and I can
be considered a workaholic. (B5)
Contradicting evidence
• opportunities have been presented to me and I did not make the
THEME 5: •
effort to jump on them completely. (LSPN)
I have always faced contradiction in times of leading, having
A STRONG
by reflecting on my life theme as a leader, it does make me question
whether I did a good job about it. Only reason I can doubt myself is because as
much as I wanted to professionally grow, there was always an obstacle in the way
TEAMS of me performing at my best. I think being able to move forward and focusing on
my work, I can gain more skills in being able to work in a team environment and
Reflection
When looking at how personal development affects my life, it provides
me with tool that actually help increase the quality of my life. Something I
didn’t focus on a lot before, but once I did it really changed my mindset on
the world. I think when I began my journey to develop myself better, I began
reading and focusing on myself and accomplishing what is important to me.
This led me down a path of self growth and seeking opportunities that match
my lifestyle, which I will continue to do with no regrets.
Focusing on my financial growth helps me in growing as a person and achieving
THEME 7: higher goals. With financial growth I plan to one day reach financial freedom,
and by doing so opening up time and growth in my life.
FINANCIAL • I suffered a setback on financial growth after my accident, taking me in the opposite
direction towards financial debt instead. (LSPN)
GROWTH • No experience when it came to work and savings, forcing a learning curve of how to
financially grow as a person. (LSPN)
CONT. Reflection
once reflecting on this life theme, I feel that I have been able to identify inconsistencies
and failed attempts throughout my life. This did not become a focus and the way it can impact
my life can cause a 180 flip. Recently doubling down on this, I wasn’t able to focus on my
growth without first clearing my debt first. I have gone through several changes in my life that
forced me to look into this area more, my mindset has changed to focus on working smarter,
not harder. This would allow me to still have some freedom and not focusing on working more
as the answer.
I have always enjoyed new experiences and see these as moments of growth in
my personal life. By having an open mind, I am able to look into various outlets
and find what lines up with my plans and how I can gear it to my success. These
THEME 8: new experiences also teach me many tactics and moments to reflect on in my life.
EXPERIENCES Reflection
When reflecting on my life theme of adventure, I feel this to be something that
CONT. describes me as outgoing and open to new experience. Even though it is something I
consider in my life as a theme, I don’t think I explore this theme so much with new
experience. Part of the reason this could be is my loyalty to a committed relationship
for over 10 years, which of course set a routine for me and keeping me centered
around family values. Since my familial situation changed, I have begun to explore
new activities. Through this life changing experience, everything was new to me and
led me to find a passion for hiking as well.
Having a creative outlet has always been of high importance to me. By
creatively expressing myself, it allows me to show the world who I am
and what I am capable of.
CONT. Reflection
Wow, all I can say is I did not know how invested I was in always
making sure I had some creative outlet to live my life. I thought the only
way to express my creativity through art was by making music and graffiti
art as a kid. I really thought I hung this life theme up years ago, but after
reflecting on this topic I’ve realized I had always stuck to my roots of being
creative. Seeing how creativity can be expressed in other forms such as sales
which I currently work in, it makes sense that this can apply to my lifestyle
in major ways. The career choices I make are not always dull and routine,
but creative and provide me with a different day every time I work.
Socially being able to influence others helps me in developing my
leadership skills. By socially influencing others, I can directly impact
people and show them exactly how to lead themselves down the right path.
THEME 10:
SOCIALLY Supporting data
• My human metrics assessment tested high in extraverted, scoring a total
INFLUENCING of 41%. (HM)
OTHERS • My score in extraversion place high, scoring 74, and also my third
highest trait in the Big 5 assessment. I’m outgoing, friendly, like
working with others, and enjoy leadership roles. (B5)
• In DISC, I scored a 30% in influence, my second highest score on this
assessment. The way I deal with people and the way I communicate and
relate to others is displayed in this assessment. (DISC)
• I would consistently exercise my practice in being socially influenced.
(LSPN)
• I have always led a team whether it be in management, training, or
assembling groups of people that believed in my music and career
choices as a teen. I lived many experiences by being open to influence
others. (LSPN)
Contradicting evidence
• Although I was always seeking social acceptance, this life theme became a focus
THEME 10:
because of how hard of a time I have socially influencing others in my youth. (LSPN)
SOCIALLY with people, I think not being accepted by certain people and trying to find social
acceptance led me to have regrets of attempting to be accepted, making long term
INFLUENCING
disappointment in this theme. (LSPN)
not being able to identify times in my life when I have positively socially influenced
other members. (LSPN)
OTHERS
CONT. Reflection
after reflecting on my final and last theme, I would say that this is one that I think
needs to have a big improvement. I felt I was always an introvert because I don’t open up
about my personal life a lot. After running through so many assessments that point me to
being an extrovert, it is hard to deny the results. Granted it is not one of my high focused
themes or strongest aspects, it plays a big role in my life by how it compliments my other
life themes and career choices,. I have tended to be shy when it comes to social
gatherings, but when I start to see this theme from socially influencing perspectives, it
makes sense to me to always seek a position where I can be in charge. By being in
charge, it puts me in the hot seat to directly influence others, making it important to
watch my decisions and how they can affect others.
“If I have the available resources needed to support my lifestyle
by being free to embrace my fruitful passions in this world, I
will always practice my discipline by sticking to the plan, acting
with caution, and seeing the process towards the end.”
VISION that are presented to me, but also making them as part of my
vision. Be freely embracing my passions, I am embracing my
STATEMENT life theme of freedom and using it to touch on other life themes,
such as music creation and continuous education. Without me
being able to embrace these life themes and having the free time
to develop myself personally, I won’t be able to live a fulfilled
life. Using time to reflect on the themes created by the
supported evidence only makes me feel more confident that this
is what is right for me.
“I will discipline myself in applying all aspects of my life
themes to my time to reach my full potential. By balancing them
out in my life will provide me with the consistency to prosper
and further work on my personal development, focusing on my
financial growth, and attacking on new experiences
academically, professionally, and personally.“
MY PERSONAL
MISSION My mission statement is built off factors reflecting on my life
