    CQ- Who am I?
    The desires don't necessarily motivate everybody in the same way. How we fulfill these desires thru RELATIONSHIPS, WORK, FAMILY, SPORTS, and SPIRITUALITY will vary from person to person. We all have the Potential to fulfill our basic desires through each of theses areas of life. Basic desires are genetically determined. We consciously do not choose what we want from life, our deepest desires arise automatically, and as soon as we satisfy one of them we automatically experience another one.
    As you go through the process of introspection and answering the questions in section 1,2 & 3, I am hopeful you will also have started on a journey of self-discovery, increased clarity and some more understanding that will help make right choices in life.

    SECTION 1

    Do NOT THINK to answer these, simply write a short one line sentence of whatever springs in your mind as u read each word:
