Are you ready to reinvent your life/work?

8 key principles for your reflection as you consider how you may reinvent or rediscover your work and your life:

1)  Stay open and flexible.  Keep your options open and go with the flow.
2)  Don't turn  down opportunities just because they are outside of your parameters of what you may
     be thinking to be your career or place in life.
3)  Cross pollinate.  Integrate your ideas ans skills with other professional opportunities.
4)  Follow your hearts desire.  Ask yourself "What is my deepest aspiration that wants to live?"
5)  Integrate creative expression.  Paint a picture or create a collage...  of what you want in your
     work/life. Integrate this image occurring as you fall asleep at night and upon awakening in the
     morning.  Take every chance to experience this inner knowing and image with all of your five
     senses.
6) Network, network, network...  Make a point to meet new people as often as you can.  New people
    will enrich your life and lead you to new opportunities.  Integration of social media is critical.
7)  Be a life long learner.  Seek new ways to stretch your self professionally and personally.  Find new
     challenges to master.  Attend classes, workshops, read numerous books and articles.
8)  Embrace new technology and ideas.  Don't get locked in a time warp.

Here a few suggestions for what you can do as you embrace these principles:

1)  Integrate a key principle each week.
2)  Daily journal as a reflection process, either morning or evening.
3)  Create an "Action Plan" that includes goals and objectives.
4)  Find a Life/Career Coach who will guide you through this entire process.
