IN WHAT UNIQUE WAY CAN YOU JUMP-START YOUR SHORT-TERM JOB ADVENTURE IN 2008?

HERE'S OUR TOP FIVE LIFE-CHANGING TIPS

Create a life's list. I want to... work on an organic farm, lead an adventure trip in Nepal, climb Mt. Fuji, write a book, live on a boat... got the picture? See how many you can check off your list this year (and see how many more you can add to it!)

Indulge in three books to start your new adventures off right. That's right, for every idea you have about landing a cool job, there's a book to help you with your pursuits. See what changes happen because of it! (view our top-selling books)

Connect with the right person. Whether your dream is to work at a National Park or to volunteer in Africa, there is someone who has "been there, done that." Make it a goal to find that person and pick their brain. Offering to buy them lunch is a good starting point.

Listen to the Zen inside. Sound silly? Not really. Your inner light will always guide you on the right path if you stop and listen. Journalize these thoughts.

Thank everyone who helps you in your pursuits. Not only does humanity need more acts of kindness, you never know how this "helping hand" will help to change your life.

HAPPY ADVENTURES
