Take a few moments to inventory your values and achievements. Are you happy and fulfilled, or bored and restless? Maybe you’re simply confused and directionless! Before you design a Life List, it’s good to get a sense of where you are now and where you want to finish, so to speak. One way to jump start the Life List exercise is to list five adjectives that describe you now (be honest), and five adjectives you hope will describe you in the future (be optimistic).
