Is a new career on your holiday wish list?

If you enjoy your career, the holiday season is a great time to be grateful and to give thanks. After all, 'tis the season to be involved in all things festive but if you're not feeling terribly festive about your career, you might want to add it to your holiday wish list.

In between sipping sparkly drinks, wearing sparkly clothing and writing sparkly cards, take a few moments to stand under the proverbial mistletoe and think about the career you'd like to be snuggling up to.

Remember when you were little and flipping through the Holiday Wish Book catalogue? It was a fantasy land of possibility. The groovy thing about this time of year is that Santa doesn't ask children to dream practically or reasonably, Santa encourages children to dream BIG. There's really no other time of year when we're allowed to go all out and ask for our wildest dreams. It doesn't mean we'll always get exactly what we asked for (case in point: the curly-haired doll when I really wanted a go-cart) but the simple act of dreaming is something to be treasured at this time of year. Allow yourself to stretch your imagination and dream what seems like the impossible.

Who needs another pair of socks or bottle of perfume? Dreaming about your dream career can help set in motion the motivation you need to believe that it is possible and to start to pursue it. Just like in the movie, "A Miracle on 34th Street", Santa works in mysterious ways if you just believe...

Happy Holidays!
