How's that wish list coming along? Is it full? Long? Exciting? Or just plain short and boring? If it's short and boring you need to re-do it whilst letting your imagination go wild! There is no point in having a "wish list" that isn't full of fun, exciting, challenging, wonderful, happy-to-be-alive wishes!
Now to make those wishes come true. All you need is a little faith (in yourself), a little imagination (cause as Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge" and finally you need some elbow grease. No matter how much you dream it, see it, taste it and believe it, it still won't come true till you roll up your sleeves and make it happen!
So are you prepared to do some hard work? As my Dad used to say -
"Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy." Isn't that the truth? But just because it's tough and it takes a little commitment, sweat and maybe even tears, it shouldn't scare you off. Hard work never hurt anyone (except maybe the slaves who built the pyramids for some one else). But that's the point isn't it. They did it because they were forced to.
If you're doing it because you want to, you choose too, you can't think of anything you'd rather be doing - then it never feels as difficult. Commitment has this wonderful way of making the biggest mountains seem just that little bit smaller. A sense of excitement reduces them in size even further. And every successful step you take up that mountain side seems to be easier and easier. It's amazing how success always breeds success!
So cast your eye over that wish list of yours and pick a wish. Yep! Easy as that. Pick any one of them you'd like to start working on right now. Doesn't matter which one it is - they are all equally worthy of your attention. Some are big and will take a little longer. Some are smaller and can be accomplished earlier. It's up to you to decide which one you want to start work on at this moment in your life.
But bear in mind that whichever one you choose, you must be prepared to commit to it's achievement 100%. No half measures. No luke-warm focus. You need to be sizzling with focus, attention, commitment and energy. If you aren't - either pick another wish or check out your attitude. Whatever is holding you back now, will only get bigger and uglier as you go along. So deal with it now, because these things never go away of their own accord.
OK. You have a wish picked? It's in your heart and mind? It's worthy of your time, effort and energy? If the answering is a resounding "YES" then let's get started.
Tomorrow I'll take you through the next step on your dragon slaying quest. Be ready with paper and pen in hand, and a whole lot of excess energy - because you're going to need it.
In the meantime, just keep picturing yourself having already achieved that wish. Keep that picture clearly in mind till tomorrow. See you then!
