The Basics - Where am I going?!

This blog is intended to give you a jumping point to start setting goals in your life.

Knowing where you are going allows you to live powerfully right now. In this moment you can make decisions as they relate to the goals and vision you have for your life years in the future.

The best place to start is create a vision for your life in ten years. Some people find this extremely challenging. There are some easy questions you can ask yourself to get your brain thinking this way. The more specific you can get the better. Certain answers will be extremely specific while others might be vague at this point. Try not to judge your answers just write the first thing that comes to mind.

In ten years my ideal home is.....
In ten years my ideal relationship is....
In ten years my ideal income is.....
In ten years my home is....
You can take this line of questioning to everything in your life. Where you live, your family, lifestyle, geography, etc.

You can also began to explore things you don't actually let yourself dream are possible. A great way is to ask yourself what you would do tomorrow if you won 25 million dollars in the lottery? Or what would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Once these start to take place in your mind. Sit down close your eyes and envision your perfect life in ten years. When you have a clear picture write it down. Peoples visions all look completely different.

Here are some examples.

*I have just arrived home from a work trip. I spent a few days aligning with my team of managers about growth and company culture. I arrive at home to my two story house which has been featured in two design magazines - complete with garden, front porch, swimming pool and spacious backyard. My spouse is there to greet me with our two children running up to hug me. I have one day to pack because we are taking a family vacation. We are meeting my parents, brothers and their families in Italy for a two week stay in a villa there. In Italy I am cuddled next to my family with a glass of wine in hand and life could not be better.

*My company is the top rated consulting firm in San Francisco.
I own a three story condo overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.
I make $150,000 a year.
I travel to New York three times a year for pleasure.
I have participated in adventure sports on 4 continents.
