Life View Statement:

A Life View describes your ideas about what is most important in your life. The key thing is to address those highest-order values and perspectives that organize how you see and understand the world and assign order (or disorder) to it. Your Life View is your personal definition of "matters of ultimate concern". Simon Sinek (TEDxTalks, 2009) would call it finding your why. It can also help you clarify your personal brand and serve as a lens to help you evaluate and make choices about opportunities presented to you.

Look back over your work from the previous sessions, including the 'stick figure' activity from lab, the characteristics survey, and your survey of friends/family on your strengths. You may wish to consider the following questions, but it is not important to answer them all. It is more important to put together a statement of what is most important to you in life. Aim for 200 words:

To you, what is the meaning or purpose of life?

What are the unique qualities you have to offer to the world?

What do you do for fun?

How do you give back to the world?

What is the relationship between you as an individual and others (family, friends, etc.)?

What is important to you?

What are your goals and your vision of your life?
