Write down areas that you think you could improve

What do you want from life?
It is never, ever too late to blossom. Many women are late bloomers who do not blossom until they are in their thirties, forties and fifties. Allow your creative mind to give you answers on what it is that you want from life. Ask yourself the following questions:
What would make me happy?

How do you define happiness?

What do you want from life?
If you do not know what you want the first step to take is to work out what you don’t want from life until you have narrowed down your list to what you do want from life. Underlying what you want will be your purpose – the reason for you being here.

Here are some questions to ask yourself that will help you work out what you want from life. Ask yourself ‘What type of life do I want?

Do I want:

• To work alone or with a team of people?
• To build many friendships or only a few?
• To work for someone else or work for myself at some stage?
• To work from 9 am to 5 pm or work a variety of hours?
• To be an expert at something?
• To spend time each day learning about my favourite subject?
• To spend some quiet time alone each day?
• To travel as often as I can and see other countries and lifestyles? Where would I like to go?
• To belong to a family of people?
• To create a piece of work like a painting, sculpture or book that will outlive my own life and give pleasure, beauty and inspiration to others.

Questions like those above will help to define what you want. If you are unable to think of many other things that you want, ask yourself the next set of questions: ‘What do I not want in my life?’ Do any of the following questions sound true for you?

• To work for, with or have people working for me who do not appreciate the value of my efforts.
• To work in a job or set up a business where I am not using all my skills and abilities.
• To work in a field that is not interesting exciting and fulfilling for me.
• To work all my life and not get ahead and improve my lifestyle.
• To be constantly in debt and not be able to afford to do the things I want in life.
• To not be in touch with my intuition, that part of me that knows what is ultimately best for me.
• To be easily swayed into making decisions that may not necessarily in my own best interests.
• To have other people telling me what to do all the time.
• To not have my parents and family in my life or to not have a good relationship with them.
