How I did it
It made me
content 
How I did it: After I spent three days selling frames at a conference in Vegas, I came back seeing my co-workers and customers as real people rather than just voices. Read how I did it…
It made me
Confident
How I did it: Since remembering names are vital to my line of business (sales), I took this goal seriously. It took me a while to think about the name as it was being said, but after much practice, it become easy and fun. Mnemonics such as "Mike has a bike" didn't really work for me.

It made me
passionate
How I did it: I have a small camera and I take pictures of all the art, murals, signs or anything around me as I am bicycling through the city that intrigues me. I have over a thousand collected pictures now. Its great because now I have a new awareness of my surroundings. Oftentimes, when I see one, I immediately see three or four others that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Read how I did it…
