TAKE 1: Apply Your Skills
You are a talented, gifted individual. Do you know what your skills are? How can you use your skills to help yourself, your family, and others? Be responsible for your actions and work to influence events.

TAKE 2: Help Others
In challenging times you gain strength and support by being with others – family, friends, organizations, support groups, religious affiliations, etc. Think less of yourself and more about what you can do to help someone else. Right now, there is a person(s) in your life who can benefit from your caring and assistance.

TAKE 3: Be Positive
You are entitled to a happy, fulfilling life. You can make it happen with positive beliefs combined with action steps toward your goals. How positive are you? How can you become more positive?

TAKE 4: Embrace Diversity
Go out of your way to meet someone new. Perhaps there is someone you have wanted to meet but for one reason or another held back. People embracing different lifestyles and backgrounds can offer new perspectives and ways of accomplishing objectives.

TAKE 5: Work Singly and Together
Move your life plan forward by being a new and active member of a club or organization. Share your personal goals with others while working together on common objectives.
