What are you aiming for?

“Always have a plan, and believe in it. Nothing happens by accident.”
-- Chuck Knox

Here is a simple test to see how focused you are:

A genie grants you a wish if you can state it within 3 seconds.

What is your primary wish or your heart’s desire? Is it on the tip of your tongue so you can blurt it out? Are you consciously clear at any time about what is most important to you?

Our 17 year old boy aspires to a variety of things, but often when we ask, “What do you want?” he’s unable to respond. We’re supporting him to clearly know what he wants and then to anchor it into his whole being.

This is a major growth step that few people understand. We need to define, internalize, own and integrate our strongest desires to make them a clear focus in our lives.

We anchor and internalize what we want by:

• Writing affirmations and reviewing them daily.
• Visualizing what we want in a short mental movie in which we play the main role
• Putting our affirmation into a question and asking it of ourselves and others? often.
• Writing it onto recipe cards. If it is in sight it is in mind.
• Making our request into a song or poem or artwork.

So, if you want your life to be rewarding and meaningful, ensure that when the genie asks you, “What is your wish?” your answer bursts forth with great clarity and conviction.

“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”
