Often, it’s hard to figure out what you really want in your life. I mean, I get it. It’s hard to decide what to have for dinner, much less what you want your life to look like. Your life gets so busy and you get so distracted that you don’t take time to stay in touch with what you really want or what really satisfies and excites you. You settle for convenience, you accept “okay” or “good enough” instead of “great,” you let fear and uncertainty stand in the way.
Not today. Today, you are going to allow yourself to dream, to think big, to really get in touch with WHAT YOU WANT. And not only what but also why. Here are three steps to help you get started.
Step 1: Answer the following three questions as fast and as completely as you can. Get into a “stream of consciousness” zone if you can. Just write whatever comes to mind without filtering.
Question 1: What is missing in my life right now is…
Question 2: I get enjoyment, fulfillment and satisfaction when I…
Question 3: If I had all the money I wanted and unlimited time, I would spend my time and money on or doing…
Step 2: Go back and re-read each question to yourself and immediately close your eyes. Try to remember what you wrote down. The answers you remember are the ones most resonant with who you are and what you really want. Make a note of those with a star or circle.
Step 3: Write out the following “What I Want in My Life is” statements using your most resonant answers from the three questions:
- What I want to add to my life is (answers from Question 1)…
- What I want to do more of in my life is (answers from Question 2)…
- What I want to contribute to the world is (answers from Question 3)…
Now add them all together and write this final statement: When someone asks me to describe my Life Vision, I say…
That’s it. You have identified things that are important to you and resonate with you at your core. Now it’s up to you to take ACTION.
Ready. Set. Go.
