How
many of you actually took up my challenge to start working on your New Years
affirmations? As we think about the way we think, I realize that there are many
people who live their lives “wishing” for things to happen to them or for them.
Often during the Christmas season people make a ‘Christmas Wish List’ so that
Santa or someone close to you, a husband or wife will fulfill that wish. That’s
okay but what about your goals and dreams for the rest of the year? Is Santa
Claus or that person that is close to you going to fulfill those goals for you
too?
We
need to be constantly writing down what we want to achieve. The more we keep it
in front of us, the more likely our senses are going to be sensitive to the
opportunities around us. When we write things down it becomes imprinted in our
minds. We always say in our ministry, "If it’s not in writing it doesn’t
exist".
As
humans we communicate on three levels - through words, pictures and emotions.
Our words trigger pictures and when we get a picture in our minds it becomes
imprinted on our minds. So as you write your list today - straight after this
reading this blog, right? Make sure you are describing your goals in every bit
of detail that you can imagine. What color is your dream house, what’s in it?
How does it look on the inside? Allow yourself to dream, big, hairy audacious
dreams. How does your company operate, what kind of service does it provide?
What does your marriage, family or social life look like?
For
you to realize your potential, you have to know what it is you really want. The
tragedy is that most people never decide at all to write down what they really
want. That’s the first step to achieving your goal. It is the easiest step to
take and often the most overlooked. Don’t wait. Do it today!
You
are going to have a wonderful New Year!
