Some of these are weird… recently colored with crayons? When it’s supposed to be what you’ve done in your life? Shouldn’t that just be “Colored with crayons”? And “truly believe in the power of prayer”? Like… ever? Now? No? Does prayer encompass other spiritual paths divine communique? Considering this is a collection of things one has done in life… I don’t see how it pertains.

And shouldn’t this be things you actually want to do in life? Who wants to cry themselves to sleep at night? Or watch someone die?

I gotta stop with these pre-made, fill it in and pass it around, surveys, and actually do my own sometime.
