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.

Why Bad: Too broad. Doesn’t really offer any help in making a decision. And it isn’t prioritized, as a good petal must be.
