Day 5 of the altMBA

I finished my list of dreams 48 hours ago, and it's time for time for me to evaluate whether or not the goals can answer these questions posed by Zig Ziglar:

Can I answer yes to all of these questions about my dream:

Is it my goal or someone else's?

Is it morally right and fair to everyone concerned?

Is it consistent with my other goals?

Can I emotionally commit myself to finish this goal?

Can I see "myself" finishing this goal?

If I can't answer yes to all of those I will put an X next to the Idea.

After processing that info  I will ask the next series of questions and have to answer "yes" to at least one of them.

Will this goal:

Make me happier?

Make me healthier?

Make me more prosperous?

Win more friends?

Give me peace of mind?

Make me more secure?

Improve my relationships with others?

I will put another an "*" next to any of the goals that need to be removed using this questioning.
