How does life look through the 'pleasure, passion and purpose' lens?
In my youthful days I guess I was living a type of pleasurable life going out every weekend with all my friends, dodging school work and being a free spirit, on a "high" at that time of my life but as it says in "Search Inside Yourself" in Chapter 6, it is very hard to maintain that type of lifestyle, because back at school I never really knew what I wanted to do for my career or study all I knew is that I didnt want to go to University. After school I was a bit bummed because all my friends knew what they wanted to do and where they wanted to study but last year was a big eye opener for me to the passion and purpose lens. After finding out I was pregnant I knew I had to give my life a purpose for my babys benefit, and so I found out about EDA and I had a little passion for coding so away I went into the big city to learn this foreign thing, because my hometown is very small and there aren't many jobs, many people are on the DOLL and don't know much outside of that town so in order to be able to live you need to create work for yourself or move away basically. So I figured this type of work would be perfect for me and what I really want to do is go back to my hometown and teach people about coding and web design show them that theres so much out there! So Im now living in the passion lense trying to make a career for myself.

What are my core values? & What do I stand for? These are pretty hard questions for me, I've never really thought about it until now, I guess they would be
How did you find the resilience ideas and meditation exercise?
I found them okay, I guess they didn't really relate to me yet, there are three parts of 'Resilience' which are Inner calm, Emotional resilience & Cognitive resilience. Im not too sure which one I lean towards but on the emotional topic sucess and failure both have their pros anc cons in some way, by teaching you from your wrongs and letting you know what will work for nect time I guess, I'm not sure I'm just typing words now.
