3. Life Examination
This is the third stage of self discovery. First, in the readiness stage, you made the commitment to change your life; second, in the energizing stage, you began the process of purifying and increasing your energy to ensure that you would create pure and true forms in your life; and now, in this third stage of life examination, you define and prioritize your specific goals so that you have a clear target on your individual path. You take a hard look at your present priorities. As you look at your life you’ll be asking, “What is the meaning of what I’ve created as my life?” Or, “Have I been true to myself?
