Fun Way To Visualize Your Future

Here’s an exercise that I used to teach with my former colleague, Jay Markunas in our career change course.  Though we used it as part of our method to help people with their career direction and planning, I’ve found this exercise to be a good all-around exercise for creating a personal vision too.  It’s not just about your career.  It’s about what you want for your whole life – every aspect of it.

100th Birthday
Imagine it’s your 100th birthday – congratulations and happy birthday!  Your loved ones have gathered to celebrate your wonderful life.  There’s a great big cake, colorful balloons, and even silly party hats.

Have some fun describing the major accomplishments and the legacy of your life.  I encourage you to embellish and express your story in vivid details.  This has been your life lived on purpose!

Here are some questions to spur you on:

• What have you done professionally?
• What have you done personally?
• Where have you traveled?
• Where have you lived, and what has your lifestyle been like?
• What kind of mark have you made?
