The 5-wish list

Days are getting sorther.

Today the sky is white in Paris.

It's cold outside.

Winter will be soon there.

On the other side of the Ocean, it's Thanksgiving.

Millions of American celebrate this special day.

Today I invite you to stop 5 minutes.

Take 5 minutes for yourself.

Take a sheet of paper and a pencil.

Write the main 5 things you wish to achieve within the 6 next months.

Realistic goals.

5 things you want to change.

5 wishes you've never dared to say

5 ideas you've always wanted to get real.

5 things you never have time to do.

Then

Write how you could achieve each goal.

Your strengths.

Your weaknesses.

What you could do to succeed.

Write how much time you need for each point.

Keep that paper.

Near you.

So that you can se it regularly.

So that when it's hard, you can focus on your goals.

Then...

ACT

Because with written, clear goals, you'll know "where you go".

I'd written mine almost a year ago.

It helped me even if my 5 wishes did not ALL become real.

I've just written a new list.

My 5 wishes.

My 5 goals.

My 5 forth-coming achievements.
