USE GOALS TO HELP YOU GROW

Here are two steps that will help:

First, visualize your future in terms of three departments: work, home, and social. Dividing your life this way keeps you from becoming confused, prevents conflicts, helps you look at the whole picture.

Second, demand of yourself clear, precise answers to these questions: What do i want to accomplish with my life ? What do i want to be ? And what does it take to satisfy me ?

Use the planning guide below to help.
