Q: Make a list of people who you might dedicate a book to. These might include your spouse or partner, children, parents or friend. Who is most important to your project and your inspiration as a writer? You might have a person in mind who is the very reason that you've written this book. Your book might be about that person or written in their memory. This person might be a natural choice for the dedication. Consider if you actually know the person to whom you're dedicating the book. You can also brainstorm names of people that you don't know personally but whom you admire. The book's subject matter, for example, might mean that a certain person is not an appropriate choice. For example, if you have a book with troubling or adult subject matter, you may not want to dedicate the book to a child. If you don't have a specific person in mind to dedicate your book to, think about dedicating it to someone who tirelessly supports the themes in your book. This might help you figure out who might be the best person for your dedication. You might dedicate a book to someone because they inspired you or because they encouraged you to become a writer. Think about how certain people contributed to your overall writing career. Think too about how they may have contributed to this particular project. You may have promised a spouse or friend that you'd dedicate your first book to them. You may want to fulfill this promise by dedicating your book to them. Similarly, someone may have asked that you dedicate the book to them. Don't feel too obligated to dedicate your book to someone who asked for the dedication. It is a deeply personal process to write a dedication, and if it doesn't feel right to choose that person, you can choose someone else. Be prepared, however, to explain to that person your reasons why they were not chosen. There is no rule that says you need to choose a person for your dedication. You might choose a pet, for example, or even an object that particularly inspired you as you worked on the book. For example, Robin Hobb, in her book "Ship of Magic," dedicated the book like this: "To caffeine and sugar, my companions through many a long night of writing."
A: Brainstorm names of potential people. Make a list of people who are not appropriate for this dedication. Make a list of the book's themes. Brainstorm reasons why you want to dedicate the book to someone. Fulfill a promise or request. Choose something that's not a person.

Q: . If you have a desire to reboot your life, it may be because you don't feel like you are living according to your principles. Values are the beliefs, opinions, and ideas that drive your decision-making and serve as a foundation for your life. To ensure that your life reset gets off on the right foot, figure out your values. Perform a self-assessment in order to pinpoint your personal values. Ask yourself: What kind of things get you fired up talking about? What would you be willing to sacrifice your life for? If your home was on fire, assuming all living beings had been rescued, what three items would you want to take with you? What aspects of your community or the world would you like to change? To further direct your path, do a visualization exercise. Visualization can be a powerful tool to clarify our desires and move us closer to obtaining them. Spend some time imagining who you would like to be in 5, 10, or 15 years. Go someplace quiet where you can sit without distractions. Close your eyes. Picture in your mind's eye yourself at a specific point in the future (e.g. 1 year or 5 years). Imagine that you are at the peak of success during this time. You have realized all your goals. What are you doing in this vision? What is your career? What kind of lifestyle do you have? Who are you surrounded by? What do you do for fun? Absorb this image fully. Then, grab some paper and write out some details about it. What skills or strengths do you need to make this vision a reality? How can you gain these skills? It's often said that most people overestimate what they can do in a year, but underestimate what they can do in a day. True enough, life consists of weeks, months, and years. However, you get there day by day. Think about the kinds of things you do daily. Do these actions or habits line up with your ultimate goals? After you have spent time envisioning your dreams and assessing what you are doing daily, you can develop an action plan to bring you closer to where you want to be. What can you do today to get you closer where you want to be tomorrow? Set SMART goals that you can break down into smaller steps. That way, you can take some positive action towards reaching your goals every day. For example, perhaps in the visualization exercise you saw yourself running your own business. Your ultimate goal may be to "Be an entrepreneur," but that's a lofty goal to take on all at once. Break your goals down. You might need to "Develop a business idea/plan," "Secure investors," or "Rent a location" to house your business. These steps may serve as starting places to move you closer to the larger goal.
