Day 7:   Reality Check Day. 

   One day every week or so we are going to stop, take a deep breath and then take a look around to see if we have made any progress (the answer to that should be Yes) and if so, how much. 

    Life gets in the way of small projects the same way it has gotten in the way of our big dreams.  And by checking and measuring our progress, making sure we haven’t strayed off the path on a weekly basis, we are taming life, bending it to our will instead of being at the mercy of life’s fickle winds.  Does it take extra effort? Yeah.  You have to put your hands on the steering wheel and start driving your own life instead of sitting in the back and hoping it will take you where you want to go.

    So this first Reality Check day we are going to set up our Reality CheckList.   The first week it will be rather simple (ain’t that good news?) because you are just starting out.  As the weeks roll on, you will have more subjects and projects to check up on.  But for this first week, your Reality Check List should look something like this: 

Reality Checklist:

_______          Tiara in Salvation Army donation pile

_______          List of Talents, Accomplishments, Skills and Experiences
