A Next Chapter Activity
Fingerprints & Blueprints
In a world full of unpredictability, maintaining joy can feel like a daunting task. This activity helps you explore the complexities of life's challenges β and surfaces the raw material of your Next Chapter: the talents, topics, and promptings that have always been uniquely yours. Your fingerprints. Now let's draw the blueprints.
01
What are your 3 favorite topics to discuss?
The ones you light up about at dinner β where the conversation never feels long enough.
02
Which of those topics could you read 100 books on, listen to 100 podcasts on, or watch 100 videos on?
Interest fades. Fascination doesn't. Which one is fascination?
03
What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
Answer before your practical side clears its throat.
04
Which activities do you look forward to the most and make you feel completely in the zone?
Time disappears. You look up and two hours are gone. What were you doing?
05
What do people turn to you for that comes easily to you?
Easy for you is not easy for everyone. That gap is a gift.
06
People who know you well believe you are at your best when you areβ¦
Finish their sentence, not yours.
07
What natural talents, skills, abilities, or resources would you like to be more intentional with?
Dormant doesn't mean gone.
08
Is there something you've felt prompted to do, but set aside?
Maybe it felt too far outside your comfort zone, or the timing seemed wrong β writing a book, switching careers, going back to school, volunteering in a specialized way, traveling to a particular destination for a purpose you can't quite name.
Your answers stay on this page β nothing is stored or sent unless you choose to email them. Adapted from Chris Gomberg's Fingerprints & Blueprints workshop activity.
