18. Discovering your Voice Influences the “How” Influences the “What” Influences the “When”, “Where” &“How Much” Influences the “Why” “Voice is unique personal significance.” Stephen R. Covey, The 8th Habit

19. Alignment - Voice When we align ourselves with our Higher Self (spirit)... we experience two impulses. One is for Self-expression…the direct and active expression of our special gifts and talents in forms that are most compatible to our personalities. The other is for Service, to contribute in some meaningful way to ... humanity in general. These two impulses complement one another, for we seek to serve the world in the manner most appropriate to our individual qualities and gifts. (From M. Y. Brown, 1983, The Unfolding Self. P. 107)

20. Passions Timeline Adolescence Now Childhood Special hobbies, interests, talents, abilities Things you were good at, which you enjoyed doing, which brought happiness and satisfaction Any achievements, accomplishments or high points Things you watched, read or learned that stuck with you ( stories, films, news items, documentaries, events, experiences) Significant events and/or people that influenced or shaped the direction of your life Subjects you were good at or enjoyed in school (uni, training) Jobs that you liked and were/are good at Special skills/abilities you are known for at work, home, among friends or elsewhere

22. Values Continuum Present Future Past

23. Influential People Identify people who have influenced you positively: How did they influence your life? What were some of their qualities/attributes? What values did they express?

24. Voice and Values ‘When we enquire deeply into what gives us greatest satisfaction and happiness, it seems to be in expressing our highest qualities (values), which are also of value to the world! We no longer have to deny who we really are and what gives us deepest joy. We may need to discover that what we ‘thought’ we wanted (things) do not in themselves bring us the happiness we seek. Sometimes they facilitate our fulfilment; at other times they frustrate and distract us from our search.’ (From M. Y. Brown, 1983, The Unfolding Self. P. 108)
