So where does that leave you, today?

Can you think of your 100 goals? Where would you like to be in 5 years? If you had a magic wand and your life could look like anything, what would I see when looking at you? What would it feel like to live that ideal life? What would others think of your life? Would you inspire people? Annoy people? Learn from people?

In other words, what do you really want to do with your life?

Start slow if you think you can not possibly think of 100 goals. Take out a piece of paper or open a new document on your word processor. Go for ten goals at first. No set order of preference, just let your mind go. Let ideas and thoughts flow.

You may find you need to write more than ten goals as your ideas start moving less like a trickle and more like a deluge. If you run into a roadblock? Stop working. Walk away. Save goals you have written. .Promise yourself that you will come back later.

And then do exactly that! Come back later. Challenge yourself to finish your list of 100 goals.

Finally, find someone with whom to share your goals. A buddy to encourage you as you grow. Do you have anyone who would encourage this kind of challenge? If not, ask around or look for a group on line that discusses goal setting.

When I first wrote this article, I was still working as a government employee. I have gratefully been an entrepreneur, coach and writer full time since November, 1999. As for me, I am on my way to reaching more and more of my 100 goals. I spend my hours caring for my precious babies (one goal was to have another baby, who is now 4! This May I was blessed with another baby, my first son). Just this past week I bought four new website domains to add to my main website, www.5passions.com. It is all about Living a Passion Filled Life. My second book is about to hit market.

"I have not yet made reservations for a European Trip, nor have I hosted aTalk Radio program, but listen to your local station. You just never can be sure." Were words I wrote back in 1998. In fact, that needs to be updated. In January I begin hosting my own radio show, so now I will have to say, listen for when my show hits syndication!

100 Goals? YES! 100 goals!

100 Goals. A method for uncovering what you really want. 100 Goals. A way to find out what is stored in your heart. 100 Goals. The beginning of your future. 100 Goals!

7. Write a thank you note or two. Quickly becoming a lost art, keep A pack of notecards in your desk. When blechhs arrive, simply jot A quick, heart felt thank you to someone. It can be anyone who positively Impacts your day. (The mail carrier, an author, a member of your house Of worship who greets you each Sunday, your son's scout leader.) By putting thank you out into universe, not only are you Adding to positive energy or yourself and recipient, you Are having a domino effect upon others as well. So simple AND So significant.

8. Do a 27 Fling Boogie. I learned this technique from Flylady Who is an online organizational-time-management-hero for "Stay Home Executives." If you feel symptoms of blecch beginning to surface, grab a trash bag and get busy. Collect 27 items as quickly as you can, throw them in trash bag, close trash bag and take it outside immediately. This is VERY energizing. And somehow I never am unable to find 27 assorted items...you may surprise yourself!

9. Do a "Gifts Shift". This came in handy when I used to work In local government. As blechhs came upon me, I would Shift my task from something outside of my giftedness to Something inside my giftedness. For me that meant writing Something (I wrote some of most readable memos in Department!) or working with my clients in field. It always Worked so that returning to doing my original task was much, Much easier.

10. Finally, give something away. This may be something as Simple as giving a heartfelt compliment. It may mean starting Or expanding on a hobby specifically as a method for combating blechhs (one idea is to sponge paint small terra cotta pots and put a plant in them. One bigger plant can be source for many little plants.)

Use this list as a starting point. Print it out and add your Ideas as they come to mind. Finally, you will be prepared To create positively next time you don't feel so great.

Your breakthroughs WILL come. Guaranteed.
