Discover
Take a moment to congratulate yourself—you are in the final week of class!
Over the past 5 weeks, you reflected on what success looks like for yourself, considered how to best manage your time, practiced setting attainable goals, and learned about the importance of self-esteem and positive thinking. In our final week, we will examine motivation and self-discipline. Motivation helps drive us toward our goals, while self-discipline can keep us on track.
Reflect
Consider what motivates you and how you make decisions that either drive you toward or push you away from your goals.

Do you see a relationship between the process and practice of visualizing and maintaining motivation? Explain how you perceive the relationship or lack of it.
