Odyssey Plan - SSP 08
Odyssey Plan - SSP 08
A. CONNECT
Hello, students. It’s good to see you again after the semester break! To start things off, let’s play
a game. Are you familiar with the game “two truths and a lie”? Here you are going to come up
with three statements regarding yourself of which two statements are correct and one statement
is incorrect.
1. I am a hard working and dedicated person who pursue my goals in life.
2. I am very optimistic and a positive minded person
3. I am contented with my life
B. COACH
Knowing yourself first is essential in creating a life plan. And knowing the reason for each of the goals
is essential for the full realization of the life plan.
Using this framework here is what we now know about the goals we already achieved:
The goal had been generated from a place of purpose; it was very clear to us the reasons we wanted
to achieve it. (why)
From this place we created a resolution – something we were going to achieve. (how)
Finally, we broke that down into measures or goals – specific, tangible actions with a timeframe.
(what)
The ones that did not play out well were the ones where we started with a resolution and the ones
where we failed most miserably were the ones where we totally forgot to turn that resolution into a
goal.
For example:
Why How What
—REFLECT—
Now that you are aware that there are reasons for the goals that we wanted to achieve, revisit
the life plan you created last semester and determine the reason/reasons why you would want it
to be achieved, and create at least three actions that you will do (remember what we have
learned last semester to make small steps).
