Lifebook Online

Now I know what is right to do(think) and what was wrong. Beautiful

Quick summary

Despite a hectic schedule and an injury, Yumi completed Lifebook and discovered the power of writing in her native Japanese. The program gave her clarity on her values and what truly matters, helping her make decisions aligned with her authentic self rather than others' expectations.

I don't know why I signed up but I strongly felt I should. On top of the end of tax year very very busy schedule, I had an accident and was injured during the course. I am proud of myself, I managed and complete all works within the time schedule. In beginning, I wasn't sure what is different between the vision and the purpose so I just did copy and paste from others. (especially I was not struggling with any health and fitness issues) Slowly I understood the difference (what was expected in the category) between the vision and the purpose and stop writing(actually copying) in English. My main language is Japanese and I realized it much more making sense and real feeling when I wrote it in Japanese. The very last category Life vision was amazing and easy for me. I wrote it already 3 years ago and forgot it. After all, the Lifebook helped me judge and make decisions. I know how easily I feel what is more important for me (not someone else) right now (not in the future but for the future). Sometimes I had more time but sometimes very difficult to find time (I squeezed life book in little by little lunchtime, late night or early morning ...), I was really wishing that I could finish as much as category (at least 3) while I had time. Anyway, I am glad I took this program. However, this is not the action plan or make me(you) do something. It just gave me ( gives you) clarity for the life (values and right wishes). Now I know what is right to do(think) and what was wrong. Beautiful. My life is not too long, I must start walking happily with my lifebook.
