Hi Angel. You gave me a lot to think about in these awesome prompts. I’m staying positive through this career transition I’m going through – I’m trying to anyway. Some days are easier than others. I’ll refer back to this post often. Thanks for sharing. – XO, Elisa
These are really lovely prompts. I just did some future goal setting journaling today myself for the various areas of my life. It felt really good!
Great ideas Angel and happy to see you back in the challenge!
As a perennial optimist, I especially like #23 and #27. I always believe that planning is halfway to winning the battle. Thanks for these thought-provoking prompts.
What a fabulous list of writing prompts! Who knows, I may use them in an upcoming challenge.
As for October, I’m actually working on another list of yours! I saved it a while ago: “What is your purpose”?
