Getting from here to there, the first step toward determining your goals is to understand and accept
what you want to change about yourself and your situation.
This process requires openness and honesty to face your own limitations.
But first, let's identify your strength.
No matter how much we may be struggling in some areas, we have strength that keep us going.
I often find that the very act of seeking help reflects an inner strength and a refusal to settle for
second best.
What do you bring to the world?
What are your best features or abilities?
What do your family members and close friends like about you?
Feel free to ask as someone who loves you what they consider to be your strength.
Keep these positive qualities in mind as you as you're developing your goals in the sections that follow.
You will be considering how things are going in six important life domains.
If you have goals related to one of these areas, write them down on a separate piece of paper or in
your journal.
