Steps Towards Discovering Your Vocation Step 3

As you move along these steps, keep the previous steps in your mind and add items to your lists as they come along. 

• Now reflect on your positive traits, your thinking, actions, and attributes.  Write them down on a new page in your journal, titled positive traits.
• Start another page and list your wants.  They can be anything, you want a different car, you want new sheets for your bed, you want to have more time for yourself, you want to go out to dinner once a week etc..
• Again, start another page but this time, write down your needs.  Ask yourself if these items are really your needs or your wants.  Your needs is something like, a babysitter for my child if I am to get a job and work, money to pay the electric and utility bills, I bed to sleep in...etc.

Take your time with these lists, give yourself a week to reflect on them so your list reflects who you really are and your reality.
