Review the vocabulary: long-term and short-term goals.
Yesterday, you learned about your beliefs— what things are most important to you in how you live your life. Today we’re going to see where it is that you want to go in your life.

Family/social: improve relationships in your life; give examples, ie getting along with parents, friends

Consider your resources: What do you need to meet your goal? (time, money, skills, people, knowledge, self-discipline) Do you have enough resources to reach your goal?
If not, you will have to change your goal or figure out a way to get resources. There are many ways to reach the same goal.

Learning to prioritize your life is a key to taking responsibility and growing up. You will have to choose between your goals and values all your life. Ask these questions if you are confused about your goals: 1. Does this goal satisfy my needs and wants? 2. Is it in
