  1. Oh gosh the lessons I have learned in the past three years have been insane and wonderful. These are great prompts and I might actually have to sit down and do that one in particular.

      Exactly, only when we look back then do we realise the number of lessons we have learned. Glad you found your’s to be wonderful lessons ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. This is such an important exercise to undertake. When you write something down, you are far more likely to refer to it and follow it more closely, and with greater commitment. Having a journal really does help you stay focused to achieve your goals.

      I couldn’t agree more Nicole. Keeping a journal is a great help for me to achieve my goals.

      1. I have no goals for the future because I learn to be free from control. The future is just a fantasy, the past is just memories. To be in the moment is the miracle.
