Just come across a nice article by: Debra Hollinrake thought I would take the time to share it with you...
Do you have a great idea of how you want your life to be, but can't seem to get out of your own way in order to make it happen? What do you suppose would happen if you actually took one step toward making it real? What would that first step be?
Richard M. Devos said, "The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible."
1. How can you apply this thought to your life?
2. What is one thing that you truly want in your life? Think about it - what is one thing that you truly want in your life?
3. Do you have the "will" to go after what you truly want? When thinking about your answer, think about what "will" is. The dictionary describes "will" as "deliberate intention or wish". So if you've answered the question of "what do you truly want", then you already have the will to obtain it!
4. Next is "the faith to believe it is possible". Where does your faith come from? How to you come to a place of faith or belief? Think of the age-old saying, "seeing is believing", and try this exercise. A) Create a picture in your mind of what your life would look like if you actually attained what you truly want in life. B) Focus on a positive picture of yourself. C) Make a mental note - What does your life look like having attained what you truly want? What does it feel like? Where are you? What does it smell like? What are you doing?
5. Now that you've got this clear positive picture in your mind, write down 3 small tasks that would be the first steps to get you to that achieved goal that you just pictured in your mind. Just three very small tasks. Preface each task with, "I am." For example, "I am writing down three tasks that I could do to get me to my goal!" Then write down two more small tasks. Read them out loud. Announce them to the universe! "I am....." Smile!
6. Think about that quote again by Richard M. Devos: "The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible."
7. Now write the name of your list across the top of it - something inspirational, like "Joe's Healthy Body" or "Karen's New Promotion" or something that will inspire you and make you smile when you look at it because you have a plan - you can see it now!
8. Go ahead and perform the first task on your list. Just the first task. Then cross off number one on the list, and write down the next task that would follow number three. Then walk away, knowing you're on your way, and every day, do one more task. And keep the list going. Every time you accomplish one task, cross it off the list and add another task onto the end.
9. Keep this list where you can see it - on the fridge, taped to your computer, somewhere where you can see it so you can always be reminded of how powerful you are! Look at all you're accomplishing!! When it's time to start a new list because you've accomplished everything on the first one, save the original list - no matter how messy it is - in your special place where you can open it and look at all you've accomplished whenever you need a reminder of how wonderful you are.
And it all started with your thoughts!
Now that you have given energy to this dream, it will keep getting closer. Keep that picture in your mind. If any doubts creep in, imagine them falling away, like the warm water off your shoulders when you take a shower. Then breathe a comfortable sigh as you zero in on that wonderful picture of yourself living your dream. Seeing is believing! Now that you've seen it in your mind, look out world! Keep stirring up that energy. Feel it.
So, what are your intentions?
Wishing you beautiful creative visions of your happiness, to inspire you, call you to the action you enjoy, as your spirit glows.
