Understanding Your Rackets in Life

This document outlines two assignments for participants in a graduate forum program. The first assignment asks participants to identify "rackets" in their lives, which are things that are unwanted but persist. They are instructed to look for rackets and the costs and payoffs of maintaining them. The second assignment asks participants to share a new possibility they have invented for themselves or their life with someone not in the program by 10 AM the next day. The goal is for participants to authentically share in a way that inspires the other person and allows the participant to discover the power of sharing.

DAY 1 ASSIGNMENTS
FIRST ASSIGNMENT:
Discover for yourself what exists for you as “unwanted and yet persists;” that is, discover your
“rackets.”

• Between tonight and tomorrow morning, take some time and look into your life to discover
your rackets, and the payoffs and costs of those rackets.

• This is an opportunity to look objectively at your life from the distinction “rackets.”

• Get present to the costs and payoffs of running rackets, and see if you can tell the truth about
the impact of rackets in your life.

• Some of you might find yourself struggling to discover that which you say is unwanted and
yet is persisting in your life. In other words, your rackets.

• If you are in that place – you are having a hard time finding a racket – then all you have to do
is look for something you consistently complain about.

• And if that is too much of a stretch, then just look to the last thing you complained about.

RACKET = Anything That Is Unwanted and Yet Persists

SECOND ASSIGNMENT:
Discovering The Way The Landmark Forum Works

The second assignment will give you an opportunity to experience, discover for yourself, the power
of The Way The Landmark Forum Works.

The second assignment is to, by 10:00AM tomorrow morning, share with someone who is not in
The Forum for Graduates with you, and who is not a Graduate of The Forum, a new possibility that
you have invented for yourself or your life.

The point of the assignment is for you to authentically share yourself in a way that leaves that person
touched, moved, and inspired by the possibility you’ve invented for yourself and your life, and in
doing so, discovering for yourself the real power of sharing – the difference your sharing makes.

Enrolling someone in the possibility that you have invented for yourself and your life will create a
powerful result for you.
