When was the last time you purchased a car?

What about the last cellphone or TV that you purchased?

Do you remember seeing an owners manual?

The manufacturers of these items and so many others provide you with an owners manual so you can learn how to best operate the item.

An important section in an owners manual is the troubleshooting section, essentially a guide about what to do when something goes wrong.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, there are no owners manuals for humans.

The great thing is that as an adult, you get to write your own owners manual if you choose to.

You have the fantastic job of telling people how you want them to treat you.

You get to decide what you’re good at and under what conditions you perform best.

You have the privilege of troubleshooting your own problems.

And the best thing about writing your own manual is that it’s specifically made for you, and you get to edit and make changes as you learn more about yourself.

P.S. Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it, please share it with one person you love.
