Breaking From Patterns of the Past   
When you start working on challenging goals, the habits you have developed in the past can either help or hinder your efforts. These habits are called "patterns of the past."
Select a goal from the list of things that you would do if you knew you wouldn’t fail. Then, use the first two questions to help you reflect on both negative and positive patterns from your past. Finally, determine what you might have to do to break from the negative patterns.		  
   
Possible Goal:  
What am I doing now that would help me be successful in achieving this goal?
What am I doing now or what have I done in the past that would keep me from being successful?
