What Do You Really Want?
by John Layton
Ever wonder why some people never get
anything good out of their life? That's because they don't know what
they want in the first place!
You must be specific in your passions.
Only then can you focus all your efforts on that particular desire.
Some people really don't know what they
want. Some have never stopped to ask themselves that very important
question. Consequently, they will too often find themselves, once again,
terribly excited over some new project or endeavor, only to once again
experience a disappointing realization that the excitement has been
short-lived.
The project is abandoned. Perhaps they
lose interest; perhaps they give up when encountered with a problem.
Perhaps the project wasn't the right fit for them to begin with.
Those who always change their minds and
those who give up easily when the going gets tough, will never get
anywhere. If you are pursuing what is for you, a personal passion, the
going never gets too tough.
Maybe right now you're confused. You
don't seem to know what you want in life. Consider this:
1. What makes your heart beat with
excitement? 2. What makes you happy? 3. What are your favorite
daydreams? 4. What do you want to do for the rest of your life? 5. What
do you enjoy doing? 6. What are your obsessions? 7. What is it that
others consider work, but you consider fun?
Try this self analysis:
1. Write on a piece of paper all your
possible answers for the seven questions above. Write anything that
comes to mind, even responses that seem silly or unimportant.
2. Encircle the 5 to 7 answers that
interest you the most.
3. Now evaluate and choose with your
heart. What is the one thing, the only thing, that you consider worthy
of your best time and resources. Your choice will reflect an activity or
interest that will bring out the best in you.
In addition to completing the above
exercise, ask close friends and relatives about their personal dreams.
Read books and surf the net for information on areas of interest.
There's also a little-known method that's
just starting to gain popularity called -- Affirmations. If you do a
little search online you'll find some very interesting materials explaining
this method.
What affirmations basically do is to
allow you to focus all your creative energy on something specific that
you want and thus start manifesting it.
I can tell you from personal experience
that affirmations are by far the easiest and quickest way of manifesting
the specific desires you have... any desires!
And when combined with the power of
subliminal technology, you could multiply the power of your affirmations
exponentially!
