Here’s a fun little exercise that a friend and I challenged each other to do a while ago that helped get us out of our current head space and into a hyper-motivated creative space; we called it playing with possibility. It’s only one of many exercises in the whole life-design process (and there are many versions). Ultimately it’s kind of like creating a bucket list but with a shorter time frame. Give it a go….get out a piece of paper and a pen and make a list of 30,40,50+ things you would do if you had $300mil and 5 years. Don’t think too much, just start writing, so I did… ——————————————————————————————————————-
- Write at least one best-selling book
- Create and present a seminar/workshop series on doing university debt-free on your own
- Become a professional speaker and sell out at least 10 events

- Create a global foundation whose vision is to foster an experiential learning environment that teaches youth about goals, visualization, holistic life design, possibility and ultimately builds their confidence as the creators of their own lives
- Live in an Ashram in India for at least 3 months
- Build a home in Vancouver, California and one exotic place – being able to see the sunrise, sunset, and ocean is a must

We then shared our lists with each other (so we could hold eachother accountable to playing big). The really cool thing is that after I made my list I realized that I don’t actually need $300mil or 5 years to do the alot of the things on it. You might feel the same way about your list. The next step was to outline specific actionable goals for each one, we called it playing with creation…Giddy Up! 🙂
...And I Rise 
9, 21, 24, 35. Count me in!
Done and done! Although, I’ll probably request that you be involved in many more 🙂
