I found last week's class to be interesting because we talked about how to further develop your own achievements. I thought that the diagram the teacher created was helpful because it demonstrated how to go about your achievements, by understanding current goals and then making a plan to achieve the current goal. I would say that I definitely agree with Adler's theory on goals. Adlers theory is that living things are motivated by goals and that we cannot think, feel, or act without understanding the concept of a goal. Adler also referred to his theory on goals as finalisms and he thought that many of are goals are also fictionalisms. Adler believed that certain fictional goals have the potential to be both positive and negative. Adler believed that a healthy individual will continuously examine their fictions and change their goals when they are no longer of use (Engler, 2005). I think that it is important in psychology to understand more about how people interpret what they want to achieve in life because it can show a lot about a person.

building positive self image
One of the most powerful influences on your attitude and personality is what you say to yourself. It is not what happens to you, but how you respond internally to what happens to you, that determines your thoughts, feelings, and your actions. By controlling your inner dialogue, or your �self talk,� you can begin to assert control over every part of your life.
