Think big - Obama did

As millions tune in tomorrow to watch the inauguration of a US President (do we pay anywhere near as close attention to what's going on with our own politicians?), think about your own life.

If you're not feeling inspired by the New Year Resolutions you set, give yourself permission to dream more boldly.

So becoming one of the world's most powerful leaders probably isn't on your agenda but what have you been dismissing as too bold for you?

. Enrolling in a course that will bring you closer to work you could love?

. Writing page after page (not giving up after deciding on the perfect title) of your future bestseller?

. Ending that relationship / friendship that's been draining the life right out of you forever?

. Starting a conversation with someone you usually blush around and run away from (maybe even asking him or her out)?

. Exhibiting those photos or paintings?

Don't censor yourself but list your dreams now. Start with a bold, seemingly unreachable one and then you can begin to break it down. But starting big will inspire you and keep you motivated when you think about what an enormous change it could bring to your own life.

Good luck!
