5. My personal benefits of joining the Group are as follows:I have always known the importance of having goals and I have always set goals. The Group has been very beneficial to me in the following ways:1. Clarify my goals in detail2. Prioritize my goals individually3. Provide a system for clarifying and prioritizing4. Being accountable - first to myself and then the group5. The open discussions in the group gives me new approaches and different perspectives of my goals and their benefits. The group has been a safe environment with people, I have learned to trust their constructive criticism. Knowing there is a place I can go and share openly has been very empowering. It is also a place that I have gotten to know other members dreams, desires and fears. There is power in numbers of people working together for a common cause even if it is personal. I am looking forward to my next meeting. B D
6. I have learned so much, it’s hard to narrow down just one. But, I think I would say the vision board. I hung it on my bedroom closet, so I see it every morning when I get up and every night when I go to bed. Having the picture and words in front of me helps me. I think of the man in the movie the “Secret” and how he cried when he saw the picture of a house, which was the one he was living in. Just goes to show how it really works. BZ _________________________ What value has it had for me?I've found the group to be extremely helpful in many ways. The most valuable to me is the connection I feel with positive people who want to focus on what can be done, versus what can't. Through the support and structure of the group, I have been able to gain the confidence to put pen to paper to formulate my plan, one piece at a time. Every member is an inspiration, and I look forward to every week to see who else will surprise me with their genius! Thank you so much for pulling this group together. LLF
