Start today
Jack Canfield continues to make an impact on my life. Listening to “The Success Principles” in the car today after buying new socks at Nordstrom (the gal ringing me up had a hard time believing I wanted 9 pairs of the SAME black trouser sock. After a raised brow, I assured her I was simply a focused person who refuses to spend a minute of time finding mates for socks) I realized it’s been just over 5 years that I wrote my goals for when I would turn 40. I could have never imagined the impact those actions would have on my life today.
#1. Focusing on November 25, 2009 seemed like an eternity in 2001. Now it seems nearly around the corner. Thank goodness I have started setting goals for my 50th in 2019 - it’s on its way!
#2. While I can see the things I intended way back then coming into being, I have increased my “win” exponentially. That is, what I thought was huge then, isn’t so big, so I am shooting even bigger now.
#3. We really really really do get to invent our lives. The sooner we get that, the sooner we get our heart’s desire.
#4. It takes a team. Asking for mentors, guides, clients, friendships, whatever you need to move you forward actually WORKS.
#5. In fact asking has such awesome power - it’s a topic in itself. By choosing to ask the universe, or our friends, or our mate, or our colleagues, first we have to ask ourselves. And boy, if that isn’t right at the heart of it all. Asking ourselves what we want.
Ponder that. What do you want? Forget about what you have to do in the next hour, the next day or the next week. WHAT DO YOU WANT for yourself, your family, your community? Asking is the only way to find out… and the only way to start in motion the magic that has my dreams and yours within reach.
