Overview
Here is a book with a thought-provoking questionnaire recommended for anyone who is either new to the field of personal growth, or want to take themselves to the next level. The first part of the book is largely a personal account of how the author developed the workshop and how it helped her and her husband reach their goals. The book and questionnaire is challenging, yet easy to follow and can help readers sort to out their beliefs, values, roles and goals.
Key Ideas By completing this Best Year Yet workshop, anyone will be able to:
1. Acknowledge and appreciate what happened during the last year.
2. Define any useful lessons
3. Create an internal focus for producing results.
4. Identify your top ten goals.
5. Learn a system of planning to ensure success.
Be sure to look at both your accomplishments and failures from the previous year to put everything into perspective.
Don’t give your failures from the past year more significance than you give your successes. Unfortunately many people have an enormous capacity to remember our failures while forgetting successes.
Find the lessons that you can learn from your successes and failures, and commit to learning those lessons in the next year. Discover the limiting beliefs you have, and change them to more empowering beliefs.
Determine which roles you are playing in your life, and which role you wish you were playing. Commit to improving one of those roles during the next year. Identify specific goals you would like to attain in each of your roles.
Look at your personal values and determine which ones need to be adjusted or developed. Your personal values motivate you to achieve tangible goals.
Practically all of the personal growth experts recommend that you set goals, keep a diary and record other details about yourself. The majority of people are like ships without rudders, they spend more time planning a birthday party for a friend than they do in planning their own life. . . .
