2. Values
Always start with your Values. Generally, this will ensure you at least end up being who, you'd like to be, even if where you end up in life isnt exactly where you thought you may.
Try start with the section called 'On Commonly Held Values' under Values: Models & Theories to review a list of 26 commonly held values.
3. Goals

If you are currently unsure what your goals are try the Goals: Self Review.
If still stuck, try pursuing The Path. Go from top to bottom and as you do, make a list of needs and wants for each. Then review your list and begin putting them into an Action Plan.
If you get stuck prioritising, start along The Path with the Basics, Health or Finance aspects. This way even if you do not know where you want to go, you will build your energy and resources to provide yourself time and means.
