How does the 'likeness, commitment and metrics' framework challenge traditional approaches to personal development?

The 'likeness, commitment and metrics' framework challenges traditional approaches to personal development by shifting the focus from external achievements to internal growth. Traditional approaches often emphasize tangible outcomes like career advancement or wealth accumulation. However, this framework encourages individuals to first envision the kind of person they want to become (likeness), then commit to becoming that person, and finally, establish metrics to measure their progress. This approach emphasizes personal fulfillment and self-improvement, rather than external validation.

Question was asked on:

The purpose of your life is too important to leave to chance. The likeness, commitment and metrics framework is a great tool to define your purpose. First, begin with the likeness and sketch out the kind of person you want to be. Second, you must devote your life to becoming that kind of person. This comes naturally if you intensely care about the likeness and have a deep desire to become that person. Finally, think about the metrics to measure your life.
