My ideal enviroment is clean and cool (in temperature), the sun is shinning filled with people and there is a little corner just for me. This environment is surrounded with water. Eveyone is doing there own thing. There are lots of food and sweets to go around. There are many museums and presidential libraries to see. There are different types of fishes. No birds, no cats, no dogs, no flies(including cock roaches) and they are definently no mice or rats. Everyone is happy, no one is suffering. There is a starbucks and my apple laptop definently accompanies me. All my siblings are right by my side to share the beauty. There are bright colors every where. No cars buses or trains. Everything is close by and everyone owns a horse. I however own a white and pink horse.There are no rules everyone just does what is right and care about the community as a whole.

Exercise 9:

My ideal day

It's 5:30am and I am up bright early filled with energy. I start my morning with a fresh cup of foldgers coffee, I would then check my email and listen to my voicemails, taking notes so I remember everything. I turn to the morning news while creating my daily agenda using my much broader weekly agenda. Next, I open the glass sliding door that leads to the beach in the back of my white house. I start by running along the lake front and then I follow it up with some yoga. I watch the sun rise then head back in my home and prepeare for my day at work, I own my own hospital or I work in Coorperate Law. While at the office, I take care of important business, and work hard to make sure my clients and or patients are satisfied. I socialize with my employees; and try to maintain a strigent boss employee relationship while being very cool with them. I spend fifteen minutes on a phone conference with my siblings and my mother. Then I buzz my father to see how he is doing. After a short day at the office I meet up with a few friends(men and women) for dinner, we discuss everything from marraige life and our children to current events. We spend the last few hour of the dinner discussing an ongoing project that we are forecasting in Africa and discuss our next trip to Africa; we discuss our goals are in helping the country become better developed, promoting scholarship and impacting the government. Then I head home in my two door (whatever year it is)BMW and I call my husband to confirm that his had dinner. When I get home I'll have some wine, with my hubby and discuss our day(if he isn't/wasn't a part of the dinner discussion) then end my day with a nice bubble bath in our medium sized jacuzzi.

(That was fun. I am laughing but I can see that being an ideal day for me.)

Exercise 9:

Fantasy Analysis

The elements in my ideal day analysis that are essential is the success, close relationship with my family and projects in helping Nigeria become a better place.

The elements that can be eliminated however are the BMW, the jaccuzi, living in a beach house.

The unessential elements are watching the sunrise from the lake front. I can have a area in my home office or bedroom(anywhere) that will allow me to enjoy that sun rise!

The indispencible element are the most vital things to my heart. If I have to leave everything else and just deal with the essentials, I would still be happy with myself.

The elements that already exist is the daily talk with 1 of my 4 younger siblings. At least once a week we have a phone conference with my mom and sometimes the other siblings and dad are present.

I currently do not have that(whatever year) BMW niether do I have a hubby nor am I a boss. (But I am "bosslady")

The walls that are currently between me and my ideal life is time, me completing my education and money.

Activities I love...
