Last Week's and This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

What goal have you already invested time, energy and other resources into in order to attain it?  Is this goal still important to you?  Is this goal reachable?  If so, what more do you need to invest in terms of time, energy, actions and other resources to make sure your initial investment is not wasted and that you do the best you can in reaching this goal?

This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

How do you define success?  Think of those you view as successful?  What have they achieved?  What have they accomplished?  How would you describe someone who's had a successful life?  If a person did nothing else during their lifetime, they should at least make sure to do what?  How would you define success for yourself?  How would you best work toward this?  What do you need to feel you have succeeded at work?  At home?  In your relationships?  In life?
