1. First write down what you believe are the great points and the foul points: matters that make you feel great about this portion of your life, and matters that don't.

Don't suppress anything; jot down anything that springs to mind. You want to express yourself freely. So simply let it all come out. 3. Answer the key questions for each facet following here. These are designated to help you think matters through in terms of what you've achieved, how it's affected your life, and how that's crucial to you. 4. Answer the last question.
