* Consider what you have always wanted to do in your life so far and have, as yet, held back from completing.

* Imagine you have received a Magic Pill that enabled you to obtain any one thing in life. What one great thing would you dare to obtain if you knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you could not fail?
It would help me if you wrote down your answers and brought them to an early therapy session. However, please let me know if you have done the exercise as I will not assume you have.
