The challenge of the week:

·      Pg. 191 #2 

"It's just as important for you to know what you are not willing to give up as it is to identify what you are willing to give. Think through the things that are non-negotiable in your life and list them. Then for each, identify its greatest potential threat and what safety measures you need to put into place to protect it."

Quote of the week:

Pg. 203 “The best way to make a sluggish mind active is to disturb its routine. Getting outside the box does that for a person.”
