In the same way, you create a mandala for yourself without necessarily realizing it. Whatever you take as your primary motivation is at the center. For example, if you put the classic American dream of “getting ahead in life” at the core of your mandala then your life will likely revolve around a job you may or may not find real meaning in. You may accumulate wealth, you may get a stereotypical “perfect” spouse who is, in fact, not perfect for you, and you might spend your time finding new ways to make more money until you retire or die exhausted (sorry).
