What Do I Want?
When you think about what you want, keep this very important truth in mind:
It is much easier to move TOWARD a specific goal (using the Law of Clear Vision) than it is to move away from an intolerable situation.
Thinking about or focusing on an intolerable situation keeps you stuck!
Almost every client I have or have had has answered the question, "What do you want?" with, "I don't really know."
So, let's explore the possibilities...
What if...
time and money were no object? What would you do with your life?
What if...
you had three choices?
to be rich
to be happy
to be famous
Which would you choose? What would your life look like then?
What if...
you had a one-time opportunity to relive the last five years?
What would you do differently? How will your answer influence your next five years?
What if...
you were the happiest person on this planet?
What does your life look like now? What makes you so happy?
What if...
you could have it all?
How would you define "all"?
Do you want...
more money?
more love?
a loving relationship?
a bigger house?
new furniture?
more friends?
a blissfully happy marriage?
a high paying job?
a promotion?

increased business?
to be famous?
to be slender?
to be healthy?

As you can see, you have choices, lots of them. Let's take this a little deeper...
Each choice you make will take you to a different destination, and each destination will require a different path. The path can be fun, dangerous, easy, or complex. Arrival at the destination, however, makes the path worthwhile. As your coach, I will keep you on the right path.
What is your destination?
This question is best answered by completing one or more of the following statements:
The legacy I want to leave is_______________.
I want to achieve_________________________.
I want to feel____________________________.
I want to build___________________________.
I want my children to have_________________.
I want my weight to be____________________.
I want my health to be____________________.
I want to retire by________________________.
When I retire, I want to____________________.
Don't let the "I should ..." be your prison. Let the "I want ..." be your bridge. "Shoulds" are nothing more than good ideas that belong to other people. Let them keep them.
Now are you more clear about what you want? Okay, on to the next question..
