My kids & i have been setting goals together for about 8 0r 9 years now - we do this on a regular basis - usually on a Sunday evening - and every year i try a new approach, in fact every week i try a new approach - over the years i have wondered whether i have done the right things by my children - - its not often that i see the fruits of all the labour that goes into raising kids.

"which one of your goals
would have the most positive impact on your life
if you were to accomplish it?"
