Dreams and aspirations
Ask yourself what do I want from life? Can you really let your life speak for you or do you dress it up in fantasy?
I am going to walk you through is the process of vision-setting and goal-setting that will stand you in good stead for the rest of your life. It’s the process I use personally myself and have done for years. When we are done, New Year’s resolutions will seem like a quaint parlor game.
Ask yourself the question, “Where am I going?” For most of us, that is a question upon which we spend far too little time. And when we do, it is usually because of some situation that has happened, forcing us to take a look. Well, let’s take the “have to” out of it, and really spend a some time to honestly observe where we are going. Being honest with yourself is very important in this process.
You might want to write down your thoughts and observations. From personal experience, I can tell you that journaling has provided me with more insights and “ah ha!” moments than I could have ever imagined. Once you see these thoughts on paper, you will see patterns start to emerge – patterns that may not have been obvious while they were locked inside your brain.
Once you have honestly figured out where you are going, it’s time to decide if this is what you “want.” Let’s face it, sometimes life gets in the way, and we lose contact with those things that we know will fulfill us. I am not talking about material things here, but the letting loose of those talents and abilities that have been locked up inside us.
So, when you have a few moments of quiet, let your mind “out for a walk” and spend some time thinking about what it is you really want – want to have, want to be, want to do. Put no restrictions on your thoughts, just let your mind wander and write down what you are thinking about.
Be careful what you wish for, my dreams came true.
