10 + 7 + 5

So, I'm working on the following journal project.  Life is such a trip.  You take the same life, of the same person, and look at it a different way and all of a sudden, BAM!, a different life.  It's all so trivial and objective.  The only thing absolute is the intangible - family, love, faith, etc. It makes my mind-meld and fuse when I think of it like that. It almost feels like a chemical or molecular change happens when I accept this absolute truth. Things that make you go hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Ten 10 Moments: In every person's life, there have been moments, both positive and negative, that have defined and redefined who you are. Those events entered your consciousness with such power that they changed the very core of who and what you thought you were. A part of you was changed by those events, and caused you to define yourself, to some degree by your experience of that event.

7 Critical Choices: There are a surprisingly small number of choices that rise to the level of life-changing ones. Critical choices are those that have changed your life, positively or negatively, and are major factors in determining who and what you will become. They are the choices that have affected your life up to today, and have set you on a path.


5 Pivotal People: These are the people who have left indelible impressions on your concept of self, and therefore, the life you live. They may be family members, friends or co-workers, and their influences can be either positive or negative. They are people who can determine whether you live consistently with your authentic self, or instead live a counterfeit life controlled by a fictional self that has crowded out who you really are.
