WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Have you said to yourself…

“My work is too hard!”
“This relationship is too hard!”

“I need a new job!”

“Life is sooooooo…. hard!”

And as you have noticed, as you continue to think and repeat the mantra,  your life remains hard. In fact, it gets harder and harder. Our mind seems to lead us to the perpetual tunnel of unfortunate incidents simply repeating what you are thinking and repeating! Your mind has an amazing power to repeat what you believe.

An ancient king said, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

Have you ever wondered why once you identify a car you want, you see it everywhere. It did not appear all of a sudden. It was always there, but you became aware. Awareness is power. Awareness gives you clarity and clarity is power! Here is an important question!

What do you want? If you can answer this question with clarity, your life will powerfully transform!

If you are a person of faith… what do you want?

You say, “I want to be close(r) to God?” What does that mean? What does it look like when you are closer to the Divine? Does that mean you go to a church every week and you read the Bible each day? Have you seen people who go to a church and read their bible everyday and still seemed far away from God? Of course. Define what it means to be closer to God. 

You say, “I want to be happy.” What does that mean? What does happiness look like? Does that mean you have a million dollars in the bank? Does that mean you are living in the house of your dreams? Have you seen people with million dollars in the bank and have the house of their dream and still are miserable? Of course. Define what it means to be happy. Happiness is a habit!

Today, I notice many young people changing jobs every few months to a few years. Why? What are they looking for? Most people I talk to, they want to change their job for some reason but they don’t know what they are looking for! How about you? Start with some clarity questions. What is your passion? What makes you sing? What makes you cry? If you don’t know what you are looking for you won’t find it. In fact, even if it’s right next to you, you won’t recognize it! Have you seen people who changed their job, acquired higher pay and better position and still be unsatisfied? Of course! Are you him/her?

What do you want? You have unlimited potential. Now that does not mean you can do whatever you want! But within the giftings and talents you’ve been endowed, the sky is the limit. I know I can’t beat Tyson even if I trained everyday as a boxer. My body is not made that way. I know I can’t be a world class diver! I actually don’t like water that much! I can dive, but no! But in the area of my gifting and talent, I continue to explore and discover the unlimited possibility. If someone achieved great success, it’s a proof that you can achieve it as well! 

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything. ~ Napoleon Hill 

But what do you desire? What do you want when it comes to your spirituality?

What do you want in your relationships? What do you want in your life?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain

Start the process TODAY. 

C.S. Lewis, one of my favorite writer said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

Start the process TODAY. There is a wonderful book called VISIONEERING by Andy Stanley. It’s an old book but it changed the way I think about life. If that’s too religious for you start here, INTENTIONAL LIVING by John C. Maxwell.

Start the process TODAY! Start with one book, one seminar, one statement, one question and move on up! In life everything’s easier if you take a bite at a time. One of my favorite line is “inch by inch everything’s a cinch.” Star the process TODAY, where else will you start?

Live TODAY with Passion!
