Why A Personal Manifesto Is Important
I’ve written a manifesto that serves as a guide for my life. Think about it for a moment; aren’t you familiar with your own thoughts and feelings? No, I don’t suffer from dementia or a mental illness of any kind. I believe that as you get older, you begin to discover who you are. I summarised what I’ve learned in a graphic manifesto, which I originally made for personal use. My values and the way I want to live my life are brought back into focus. A great deal of one’s core values can be thrown out the window when times are tough. When things get tough, I tend to fall back on my default response of “I don’t give a shit.” However, the truth is that I care. My manifesto serves as a reminder of who I want to be. “This is how I am” is a common refrain.
