Greetings!
 
I unfortunately cannot yet write about spring. As I'm sitting here typing, I'm distracted by the soft snowflakes falling outside my window. Maybe next week . . .

Every now and then I come across a questionnaire that really makes me think about what I'm doing. This week I received my 652nd weekly ezine from (http://www.geniuscatalyst.com) Michael Neil, whom I adore, and dutifully completed his questionnaire. For me, it was interesting and enlightening.

He asks "Is This Your Dreamlife? Are you living your dreamlife? Take a moment and respond to the questions to see if you can learn a little more about yourself.

"The rest of today's tip is also this week's experiment - a small excerpt adapted from the Dreamlife Questionnaire. Take the time to answer as many of these questions as you choose - the insights and clarity of vision which will emerge may just be priceless...

1. What is the hardest thing in life you have had to overcome?

2. What would you say have been your three biggest accomplishments to date?

3. What are your three biggest fears/concerns about your life?

4. What are your three biggest fears/concerns about yourself?

5. What are the three biggest changes you would like to make in the next three months?

6. What are the three biggest changes you want to make in the next three years?

7. What are your "big grin" goals for the next twelve months - those possibilities that are so dear to you that you can't help but smile when you think of them?

8. Where are you most likely to get stuck or stop yourself from succeeding?

9. If you were being used to your full potential, what would you be doing?

10. What do you hope/believe working with Paul and Michael could do for you and your life? (Paul wrote the book, I Can Make You Thin, and Michael has written many books which you can see on his site.)

Have fun, learn heaps, and happy exploring!" -Michael Neil

As a result of my responses, I wrote four commitments--two personal and two business. This is an interesting challenge. I'd love to hear if, as a result of the questionnaire, you learned something about yourself you weren't aware of before.

Have a great week and may your daffodils blossom,
Gail
