Livsriktningar är som ett hus…                                            Livsriktningar är som ett hus…
                   - Vad vill du ha för hus?                                                   - Vad väljer du för hus?

 Ø  Det    finns inga livsriktningar (engelskans values) som är
       rätt eller fel.

 Ø  Det     handlar inte om att hitta vad man vill
       egentligen, innerst inne , det handlar om att helt fritt
       välja vad man vill sträva mot. Lite som välja hur man
       vill att sitt eget livsriktnings-hus ska se ut.

 Ø  Man      kan alltid ändra sig och välja ett helt nytt
         livsriktnings-hus , eller bygga om det, eller bygga
       till det utifrån vad man vill just nu i livet.
                                                                       16                                                              17




  Vad är skillnaden mellan Livsriktningar & Mål?
Ø    En livsriktningar (engelskans values) är som en fyr, något               Det fiffiga med livsriktningar och handlingar
      man kan sträva mot, och något som aldrig blir klart.

Ø    Ett mål är något man kan uppnå och till exempel bocka                                                               som styr

Ø    Nu ska vi köra lite frågesport.                                            mina fötter.
