This exercise makes you forcibly move one up and one down, clarifies goals and conflict. If you do the via character strength test, again, via character.org, and you look at in this set of writings, journaling that you do, Who am I going to be in the future if everything works out as well as possible? And I write about in detail who's around me. How did I do these things, et cetera, et cetera?

And how did I use my top character strengths to make it happen? You're more likely to be happier, more optimistic, more zestful. It's a phenomenal intervention into people's well-being. In the book, I include more recent research, though, that I want to add to this. So...

And talk about what are you doing it's December 31 and look at these things you did and here's how you did them and here's why you're proud of yourself.

So it's the reciprocity future self, and then future self back to present self with kind of this air of wisdom and lessons learned.

skip all these steps. But Gabriel Otigen, a lot like the ancient stoic said, it's not enough.
