I just posted an article on PeopleFuel about creating a wish list.  It’s a good idea to spend time thinking about what really motivates you, so you know WHY your goals are important.  Of course you may find that your goals really have nothing to do with what you want in life, but are a response to what others want.  It’s ok that we all want different things in life. There is no right or wrong answer.  My suggestion is to write a letter to Santa.  I’m going to take my own advice and write a letter to Santa, giving up all guilt, doubt, fear or judgment.  I’m going to believe in magic to create my list, but I know it will take action to create my results.  That will come later.

Dear Santa,

I want a warm, comfortable, inviting home.  It needs to have six bedrooms: a master bedroom, a room for each Kels & Tay, an office for each A & I and a guest room.  The master bedroom & kid’s rooms should also have a full bath.  The master bathroom will have a garden tub with Jacuzzi. The kitchen will be light, spacious with tons of storage space and full of modern appliances. We’ll have a theater room, a game room and a formal living room.  All our furniture will be oversized, puffy, comfortable and beautiful.  I want the house to be in excellent repair, new carpet, tile floors, fixtures, paint, doors and windows.  I want our home to be on at least 5 acres of land, in the country but in an excellent community of friendly, welcoming, family people.  Our land will have a grassy yard and be surrounded by trees and mountains.

I want to work full time writing, from home, in my own office.  I want to share my work with others, to be valued and to contribute.  I want to earn a steady, lucrative income that allows me to live in my lovely home, drive a new SUV, provide for my family and also enjoy events and traveling.  I will work 5-6 hours, 4-5 days a week at my convenience.  My work will be flexible so I can take time to travel and I will continue to earn income even if I’m away for an extended period of time.  

I want to be healthy and energetic, to look forward to every day when I wake up. I want to be fit, trim, vibrant and beautiful.  My hair is cut in a medium length bob, my skin is flawless, my wardrobe is stylish and comfortable.  I wear slacks and button down tops most days, with comfortable flats and minimal jewelry.  I’m confident and professional, so when I do events to promote myself, I feel totally secure.  

I want to be a bestselling author.

I want to be confident and beautiful.

I want to have financial security.

I want to be close to my family.

I want to dress for style and comfortable.

I want to have close friendships.

I want to draw and paint.

Thanks Santa,

Lisa
