The American Dream Project

As I was channel surfing the other night, I came across the American Dream Project on the local PBS affiliate. In a nutshell, the American Dream Project is aimed at students and young professionals in an attempt to help them create the kind of life they want. It sounds kind of New Agey, but it's really not. It's simply an encouragement to make sure you are consciously making the important decisions about work, home, and relationships and not stumbling into them, which is so often the case. They have high aspirations for the project, as they call it the "Fourth American Revolution". Nothing I can say here will really explain it properly so I encourage you to check out the website. Interesting stuff.

Took the assessment. No surprises. I think I am one of those people who know themselves pretty well. I did feel it was a bit biased in that they seemed to think the same things make everyone "happy". I am not sure that is true.

Congratulations, you are living a life of high integrity, balance and meaning. You probably experience immense life satisfaction because you enjoy relationships, and pursue career goals while you are also living a lifestyle that brings you both contentment and stimulation.

Hmm, not bad for a "click the box you feels best suits you" quiz thingy... Pretty close to describing me. :)
