MEANING AND PURPOSE<br />
are you challenging your best possible self? – adding to my Meaning and Purpose through “doing” more<br />
difficult things to challenge my best possible self.<br />
One of the greatest growth orientated<br />
mindsets is believing in the Power of Yet.<br />
Through challenging your best possible self by<br />
attempting more difficult things, you are YET to<br />
know the full extent of what you are fully capable<br />
of. Describe two difficult things you are currently<br />

TIP: read this often to remind you of of what it is to live<br />
life to its fullest.<br />
Describe the qualities and strengths you like in<br />
yourself, your friends and in other people.<br />

TIP: mirror neurons copy the expressions and moods of<br />
those around us. Often, qualities and strengths you like in<br />
other people are those you like in yourself. The opposite<br />
is also true. Always try to look for qualities you like in<br />
others, no matter how few they may be. Then work on<br />
building relationships with them through these positive<br />
qualities. Use positive self-talk to push the negative<br />
qualities out of your mind.<br />

challenges and boosters and how good you felt.<br />
Describe an achievement that you are very proud<br />
of, the strengths you used and the positive<br />
emotions you felt.<br />

experienced.<br />
