WHAT ARE WE DOING

WHY WE ARE DOING IT

reflecting on our lives and the possibility of our future

We do not learn from experiences,

we learn from reflecting on those experiences.

-John Dewey

Reflection

Serious thought or consideration

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

Socrates believed that a life without self-reflection, and critical thinking is essentially meaningless and lacks value. This quote emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and questioning one's beliefs, actions, and purpose in life.

"If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no winds are favorable."

-Seneca

Part 2 : Visioning your Possible Future

Write a prediction of how good your life could be in the next five years if you were to do everything right, make wise choices, tell the truth, and always try your hardest.

Then do the opposite, how bad could your life become if you were to do everything wrong. What would be the consequences that you face?
