The future that emerged from thoroughly verbalizing the fundamental motivation behind what I want to do from the bottom of my heart: 'To become an artist who creates inspiration.'

Merry Christmas!!

Tonight, I'm having a Christmas party with my wife and son!
I'll be making pasta, and my wife will prepare chicken, potatoes, and other dishes.

So, I plan to spend until the evening thoroughly exploring myself!

What is it that you want to do from the bottom of your heart?
What could that be?

Once you have written it down, let's explore the fundamental motivation behind it.

To do that, use these seven questions to dig deeper:
1. Why?
2. Specifically?
3. For example?
4. What does it mean in the end?
5. What is the core, the most important part?
6. What lies deeper?
7. For whom and what do you want to do, and how?

By digging deeper with these seven questions, the ideal way of life you truly desire from the bottom of your heart will become clear.

Based on that, your business mission statement and your life theme will come into view. Finally, let's integrate everything into a single visual map. If you find it difficult to dig deep on your own, let's deepen it while brainstorming with AI!

Now, as an example, I will start the journey of verbalizing the motivation behind Tenmame's desire to do something from the bottom of his heart and creating a vision map.

What I want to do from the bottom of my heart is 'to become an artist who creates inspiration.'

1. Why?

Because I am fascinated by the moment of touching people's hearts and bringing change to their lives through what I have created.

I still vividly remember how, as a child, I was absorbed in picture books, music, and movies, and how they gave me inspiration like a fire lit in my heart.

Just as others' works deeply influenced my inner self, I want to touch someone's heart and deliver hope and empathy.

Art is a 'silent dialogue' that connects me with others, and I believe in that power.

2. Specifically?

The artist I aim to be is not just someone who draws pictures or writes sentences.

I am an existence that becomes a 'catalyst for the heart' through my work.

Using art and creative works, I aim to awaken emotions and ideas sleeping in others' hearts and help them find new meaning in life.

Specifically, I delicately capture emotions and values that are often overlooked in daily life and sublimate them into my work.

If it is writing, I provide a story that readers can project themselves into.

If it is a product, I pursue results that bring new perspectives to the user and improve their lives.

3. For example?

On note, I record the events I experience and my thought processes as works, sharing them with many readers.

The moments when people read those articles and say, 'I resonated with this' or 'I'm going to try it myself' are the driving force behind my creative work. Furthermore, the products I have created are often praised as being 'uplifting just to look at' or 'inspiring.'

On Udemy, I provide knowledge gained from my own experiences in the form of courses, offering opportunities for learning and action.

In all these cases, I aim for moments where I can change the lives and perspectives of others through the ideas within me.

④ What does this ultimately mean?

What I truly want to do is 'engage in creative activities that touch people's hearts.'

The forms of art are infinite, but at their foundation lies 'human connection.'

Even if I have never met someone in person, if they can share my values and worldview through my work and feel something, I believe that is truly precious.

And I want to create a 'wave of empathy' that resonates in people's hearts through the power of art.

That wave will surely become a force that generates the next action or challenge.

⑤ The most important point, the core is

The core of creative activity is believing that it has the 'potential to change someone's life.'

To that end, I believe what is important is not just what I create, but the attitude with which I approach it.

I value not only the quality of the work itself but also the message and passion behind it.

My creative work only gains meaning when the consistent beliefs and values of 'Tenmame' felt through the work reach the hearts of readers and customers.

⑥ What lies even deeper is

Lying even deeper than that is the wish to 'dialogue with the world through myself.'

Through art, I can connect with the world and understand myself more deeply.

While giving inspiration to others, I, too, am growing through people's reactions and empathy.

This bidirectional energy is the driving force that sustains my creative activities.

And ultimately, it is also part of a journey to find my own answer to the universal human question of 'continuing to search for the meaning of life.'

The reason I aim to be an artist is not merely for self-expression, but because I am drawn to creation as a means of connecting with others' hearts.

Through that, I want to continue doing work where my existence becomes a small beacon for someone else's life.

⑦ For whom, what, and how do I want to do it?

With the goal of 'providing heart-stirring empathy and discovery for modern people who tend to lose sight of their emotions in their daily lives,' I will develop a business that supports users in rediscovering their own sensibilities and connecting them to self-expression and new challenges through 'empathy-evoking writing, art pieces, and further, products and online courses that embody these.'

Here is the mission statement for the business derived from this question.

Tenmame's Mission Statement

To move your heart and open up new possibilities. For that purpose, I create, publish, and share. As an artist who creates inspiration, what Tenmame aims for is not just to provide works, but to cause a small revolution in people's lives through those works.

What I do for customers

In modern society, many people leave their emotions behind, swallowed by busyness and waves of information. In such a world, our mission is to help people feel the voices of their hearts again, which they have forgotten. Through diverse creative activities such as writing, art, products, and courses, we support people in realizing their true selves and gaining new perspectives.

2. Convey: I effectively deliver messages that resonate deep within the heart through paid articles on note and social media posts.
   

3. Provide: I create a space for customers to acquire skills through Udemy courses that combine deep learning and practice.

5. Guide: Through consulting services, I draw out the possibilities of customers' ideas and businesses, and show them their next step.
   

6. Share: I utilize email newsletters and online communities to create a place to share knowledge and inspiration.

He is a presence that acts as a bridge between cultures through creative projects while traveling between cities like New York, Paris, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.

His works and messages give courage to many people and build a community that shares inspiration.

If there were no restrictions, he would choose a life where he constantly continues to take on challenges with free ideas and pursues his dreams on the world stage.

Tenmame wants to immerse himself in artistic projects that go beyond the framework of business.

For example, producing films that symbolize his view of life and philosophy, holding global art festivals, and developing creative educational programs with an eye on the future.

He also has a desire to hold large-scale performance events themed around 'being yourself' to create a space where people can come together and share emotions.

3. What kind of life would you call a life with no regrets before you die?

Tenmame's life should be one where he has deep involvement with many people and can feel that his activities have given positive changes to each person's life.

Completing works and projects that reflect his thoughts and delivering a 'universal message' that everyone can empathize with to the world.

Furthermore, his ideal is to be a person whom the people he has interacted with can truly think, 'I am who I am today because of Tenmame.'

4. What is the one thing you must do to not have regrets in life?

Tenmame considers pursuing his creative potential to the limit as an essential condition for a life without regrets.

He wishes to continue expressing his thoughts and sensibilities in every form, not just through books and lectures, but also through films, stage performances, and art works.

Collaborating with people he truly respects and participating in projects to solve social issues are also important.

His goal is to realize 'things that only I can do' through these efforts.

5. What words would you be happy to say before you die?

'Through my life, I was able to move the hearts of many people and give hope to the future. There is no greater happiness than this.'

Or, 'I continued to walk the path I believed in until the end. I am grateful for every moment.'

Tenmame aims for a life where he can say these words with true conviction.

That is all. Today, I thoroughly faced what I truly desire from the bottom of my heart.
When my thinking stopped, I thoroughly brainstormed with ChatGPT.

I hope you too will take this year-end and New Year period to
verbalize your own true desires.

Also, if your actions such as 'writing articles,' 'writing on note,' 'doing a side job,' or 'increasing revenue' emerged when you explored what you want to do from the bottom of your heart and its motivation, I think my articles and online courses, which condense all of my four and a half years of know-how, can be of help, so please refer to them to accelerate your actions!

It is recommended as a catalyst for honing your writing skills, starting a side job, or starting a business toward 2025. Writing on note will also become many times more fun!

For those who are currently worried in their hearts, here is an online course to clear away your inner confusion and anxiety and
powerfully support yourself from the foundation.

This is highly recommended not only for those with ADHD, but also for those who are currently on leave and aiming to return to work, or those who are feeling anxious about their mental health.

vow to take more and more action along with the new year,

and let's start 2025 with a clear and bright outlook!
