Ed Colozzi's book "Creating Careers with Confidence" has many written exercises.

Click here to view a Table of Contents of the book.

In addition to or rather than writing in your book, create a post in your personal LWPS blog for each of those exercises, then create a summary page - like "My LifeWork Portal" - to collect all those posts in one place.

1. 10/5 - Your responsibility is to be the Greatest Version of the Grandest Vision you ever had about yourself. In this, you have total responsibility. Your beingness will attract unlike things like a magnet, but, if you can continue to be that which you have chosen to be despite the appearances of these "unwanted" occurrences, an amazing thing happens. By maintaining your beingness despite everything else, it is as if a vacuum is created which draws opportunities to you for you to experience your beingness to an ever-increasing degree.
