What Color Is Your Parachute 2018 by Richard N. Bolles copy

I Am a Person Who…
PREFERS CERTAIN PLACES TO LIVE
My Preferred Place(s) to Live
Goal in Filling Out This Petal: To define in what part of the country or the
world you would most like to work and live, and be happiest, if you ever have a
choice. Also to resolve a conflict (should it arise) between you and your partner
as to where you want to live after you retire. Or make your next career move.
What You Are Looking For: Having a clearer picture about what you hope for,
in life. Now or later. Now, if you’re able to move and want to make a wise
decision as to where. Later, If you’re currently tied down to a particular place
because “I need to be near my kids or my ailing parents,” or whatever, in which
case this becomes a planning for the future: retirement, or earlier. It’s important
to think about the future now, because an opportunity may come along when you
least expect it, and you might pass right by it, unless you’ve given it some
thought, and instantly recognize it.
Form of the Entries on Your Petal: You can stay general (city, suburbs, rural,
up in the mountains, on the coast, or overseas); or you can get very specific if
you’re really ready to move, naming names and places—as this exercise will
teach you to do.
Example of a Good Petal: First preference: Jackson, Wyoming; Second
preference: Honolulu; Third preference: New York City.
Example of a Bad Petal: The West; a suburb; snow.
