00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:05,880
Getting from here to there, the first step toward determining your goals is to understand and accept

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,930
what you want to change about yourself and your situation.

3
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:17,010
This process requires openness and honesty to face your own limitations.

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,160
But first, let's identify your strength.

5
00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:26,110
No matter how much we may be struggling in some areas, we have strength that keep us going.

6
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:33,180
I often find that the very act of seeking help reflects an inner strength and a refusal to settle for

7
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:33,900
second best.

8
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:36,610
What do you bring to the world?

9
00:00:36,990 --> 00:00:39,250
What are your best features or abilities?

10
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:42,630
What do your family members and close friends like about you?

11
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:49,820
Feel free to ask as someone who loves you what they consider to be your strength.

12
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:57,690
Keep these positive qualities in mind as you as you're developing your goals in the sections that follow.

13
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:02,390
You will be considering how things are going in six important life domains.

14
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:08,640
If you have goals related to one of these areas, write them down on a separate piece of paper or in

15
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,360
your journal.
