Here are the questions mentioned in the episode. I recommend getting a journal or opening up a notepad on your computer and answering them to compel a vision of your own. Feel free to be as prosaic and lengthy as you like.
What activities / mediums am I most passionate about? What are my strengths in those activities / mediums?
What subjects and styles do I find most engaging? What subjects and styles do I love ‘creating in’ most?
What’s something the world needs? What’s something I’ve never seen anyone do?
Even if the process of answering these doesn’t lead to a new vision immediately, the act of dialogue with your inner world will jumpstart something which will.
