WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BECOME ?

WHAT ARE YOUR EXISTING STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES, IF ANY ?

QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT TO BEGIN WITH QUALITATIVE EVALUATION CONTINUOUSLY MAKE

M.A.P. My Action Plan THE SECRET OF SUCCESS IS :

CHARACTER DISCIPLINE PERSEVERANCE NEVER, NEVER, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF Unleashing Your Creativity

Using Every Present Moment purposefully Including this present moment NEVER, NEVER, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF

Be prepared for both obstacles and opportunities by remaining imaginatively flexible & optimistically open to fresh & unexpected ways of achieving the essence of your vision.

Enthusiastically share your dream with those who are receptive, and seek support from the sources that feel most right to you ~ special friends, sympathetic organizations, and / or, perhaps, your relationship with God or a higher power.

Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION : Think of a person who, in your opinion, has done a great job of bringing a vision to life. What can you learn from his or her success that you might apply in your life?

Commit to your dream, stay focused, and work diligently to attain your objectives. Make friends with uncertainty and the array of possibilities it brings.

Don’t immediately talk yourself out of something you really want to do simply because it might not seem practical, or you’re worried about what others might think, or you feel it’s too late.

In pursuing your dream, you will almost certainly run into obstacles. Remember, where there’s a will, there’s a way. With almost every major challenge, the key to success lies in persistence.

President Lincoln said it well: “ You can have anything you want ~ if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.”

Trust in your heart of hearts ! Believe in your vision !! And go for it !!!

Think about what you have been learning, how well you have been learning. Then pick out one small goal you want to accomplish in the next few days/weeks/months. Choose a possibility that’s really important to you. . . . A New Possibility And then . . .

Write your action plan now, briefly stating exactly what you will do, how you will go about it, by what date you will accomplish and to what extent. . . . A New Possibility

Remember, the more centered you are on the Target of Life, the more accepting and loving you will be, and the easier it will be for you to sense and follow your heartfelt dreams and visions.

Together, let’s envision and build a world where all people enjoy optimal well-being. Let’s strive to awaken fresh thinking, new enthusiasm, and abundant love. Let’s create a world of undreamed-of possibilities. It can be done!

Before beginning ... and implement the plan sincerely and seriously Assess the plan Design a quality plan ~ My Action Plan Brainstorm a quantity of activities Compile & analyze pre-assessment data Select the tool; pre-assess yourself, both quantitatively and qualitatively Decide on the aspect you want to improve

THANK YOU for your patient listening WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
