Refer back to the sections on life stages, personal domains and life events as you enter information into this worksheet. Which life stage are you planning for? In what year will that stage end? Which forces in your life are likely to dominate this stage? What events are likely to occur during this stage? Ask the same questions about what will be happening in the lives of your parents and your children during these same years. How will events in their lives impact or affect your life? Pulling all this information together in this framework will provide you with the data you will need to create realistic scenarios for your futures.

Hopefully, you will find the next section, Personal Scenarios , to be interesting and actually fun to do, as this is where you start really seeing your future possibilitities.
