I figured you all would like some of the highlight activities, so I jotted down most of them and their jists in case you wanted to experience the self-learning process within these gems.
Book 5:
1. Record your top five lifetime values. It is easier to identify your top goals in life if you identify the values in which you place yourself.
2. What are the 3 things you like the most and least about yourself?
3. Who is the happiest person you know?
4. Who are the two people you like and respect the most, and why?
5. Write your personal mission statement. Ask yourself: "What is my calling, my life's aim? What inspires me the most? What activity or service is my core values urging me to pursue?"
6. Write your dreams down (they may just become goals)!
7. Set five-year goals for yourself in these categories: Relationships, Spirituality, Family, Career, Health, Financial, Education, Recreation, Charitable, Travel, and Romance.
8. List five things you've been procrastinating about and plan a little bit of action on all five this week.
* Fun activity involving age and Mathematics * 1) Get out a pencil and do this math... multiply your age x 365 days (that will give you your current age in days). Subtract that number from 27,375 days (average lifespan). You probably have _____ days left.
9. Write down your definition of "success".
Book 1:
1. Who are you? Why are you here? What are you doing for others?
2. Chart your Course - List someone you've already taught/mentored, someone you've already supported or helped, someone you've already encouraged or inspired, someone you've already forgiven, and something in your community that you have already changed for the better. Now write one for each in your future that you will.
3. Make a collection of your heroes' names and jot down why they inspire you. Then, write down things you could be doing to encourage those around you.
4. Write down which causes you care about and what gets your juices flowing, things that upset you or make your blood boil, things that make you cry or feel sad, and issues you always talk about with your friends.
5. List things you are good at, things that make you feel good, talents you would be excited to put to use more, and your unique background or experience with subjects. Write down what most important things you will devote your energy to, to reach your highest callings? How will you personally address the world's deepest inequalities?
6. List some people that had a significant influence on you, but probably didn't know it. Then list the ways you plan on thanking them. How will you intentionally nudge others the same way these figures did for you?
7. Write your very own motto. Examples: "Every individual has a role to play." - The Jane Goodall Institute, "Speak up for the sharks" - Ocean Conservancy. My serious motto? "When people learn of mercy and love, they finally learn of living." My humorous motto, yet true? "Go big or go home!"
8. Now, form a big project idea and stick to it until you finish. What will your first step be? Set a target date for the first step, and proceed from then on.
I hope you all enjoyed these tips and tricks from Mr. Dan Zandra, guru in all things lifestyle and inspiration. I would like to share my all-time favorite quote while flipping through 5 and 1... "Help publicly. Help privately. Help in your actions by recycling and conserving and protecting, but help also in your attitude. Help make sense where sense has gone missing. Help bring reason and respect to discourse and debate. Help science to solve and faith to soothe. Help law bring justice, until justice is commonplace. Help and you will abolish apathy--the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil." ~ Tom Hanks (You know, the guy from Big. I was surprised too!).
