Section 3

Questions at the End of Each Lesson
Some lessons are longer than others, but all conclude with a few questions
to help you apply the points made to your everyday life.
Take some time to think about your answers.
Suggestion: Keep a Personal Journal
We suggest you keep a personal journal and record notes, to-do's, and personal thoughts
so that you can come back and review your "goodness thinking" from time to time.
The Objective: To Increase Your Focus on Goodness
The truth is...most of us spend little or no time thinking about goodness
and its importance in developing a meaningful and effective life.
These lessons will help you increase your focus on some of the
more important goodness-related choices we ever make.

Our library was developed to help readers achieve a better understanding of what goodness is and, as a result, to make the components of goodness more important parts of their lives. To live with goodness, as we have stated in many of the lessons, is to live under the influence of God’s influence as it works in the world through "everyday" people like you and me. It’s to understand that we are not here for ourselves, but rather to use our skills, interests, and feelings to help others have better and more meaningful lives as well. It’s to make good choices and do good things that help make the world a better place…for everyone.
