Take a moment to look around at your life. Ask yourself these questions, take a moment to focus on yourself. You deserve a moment or two to take in what your life is like at this moment and look to the future. Sometimes we need to redirect our paths if we have fallen a bit off track, and that is OK. You could need to make a whole new plan for yourself or just adjust some of the things you do in your daily life to make your life the best it can be. So open the bottle of wine you've been saving, pour yourself a nice BIG glass, get comfy and ask yourself the following questions.

List your strengths. Don't be shy! When you think you are done, add another one.
