100 DREAMS

August 27, 2009 on 2:05 am | In life coaching | No Comments

When I ask my clients to list 100 dreams they would like to achieve in their lifetime, most protest that they have nowhere near 100 dreams.  However, when I coach them to think beyond professional goals and to include personal goals, the number is much less daunting.  Include the things that you most want, even if you have already achieved it.  If it helps, break up the exercise into categories:

10 professional goals

10 family goals

10 financial goals

10 creative goals

10 places to visit

10 skills to master

10 books to read

10 events to attend

10 subjects to research

10 things you’ve always wanted to do (e.g., bungee jumping).

In this exercise, professional dreams are on par with the rest of your dreams.  You do not have to squeeze your life in and around your work.  There are dreams for our career and dreams for our lifetime, and we need to honor them all.
