people in your life. Who are they and what are you doing?

1: My mom of course, I’d like to know a bit more about art (even though sometimes it seems like I don’t) like she does as well
as i’d love to be as awesome as she is. :) 2: if it was for most of that stuff i’d walk across, I just don’t know if it is stable or not, if it wasn’t there would be no point. 3: I love to play VR, Talk with friends on discord, make youtube videos, edit videos, watch youtube, talk with family, make/cook
food, ride my bike (when I can and have time), take care of my tarantula, and collect VR stuff. 4: 5: Step Two: The Quote Collection
Memorable Quote Who Said It 13 What Did You Like About
It? “Impossible is a word to be
found only in the dictionary of
fools. Napoleon Bonaparte He’s saying anything is possible. “You’ve gotta dance like there’s
nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody
listening,
And live like it’s heaven on
earth.” William W. Purkey The quote is telling you to be
yourself and live every day the
best you can. Step THree: The Brain Dump
JournaL Entry
Take 10 minutes and write whatever comes to your mind on what you
think makes a person successful. Don’t edit it, just keep writing and
don’t stop! If you get stuck, think of it from the angle of what qualities
make someone NOT successful. There is no correct response on
this….just write.
Some things that make somebody successful are what kind of job they have (does it pay well?)
What resources the person has access to, how much they know about financing, stocks, and just
money in general. Lastly I think that helping others and making a change in the world is also
success in multiple ways. 14 Step Four: Analysis of Virtue
Vocabulary VIRTUE: (noun) - moral excellence; goodness;
righteousness; conformity of one's life and conduct to
moral principles; a good or admirable quality. 15 Analysis of Virtue 16 Highlight the specific Virtues you feel best describe your work
