Clear goals

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, learn about them, or even seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. - Denis Waitley

Your goals may deal with self, community or others. They may deal with self improvement and/or spirit. They may deal with job and finances. They may deal with improving relationships, communication, attitude. Whatever your goals, write them down. Look at them. What are you willing to do or not do to achieve those goals?

Put it in writing and someplace where you are regularly reminded. Don't be so rigid that you can't modify the goals or steps to achieve those goals. What do you really want? Focus on that.

Affirmations

"When reciting affirmations, feel the words in your heart as you say them and know that what you feel you'll create." - Peggy McColl, Author of Relax Your Way to Wealth


Simple magic--must have energy, focus, and intention. You have to believe it before it becomes a reality. However, if it doesn't happen, then you need to reexamine what you requested (djinn's curse, check your wording) and look for obstacles that must be cleared before you can "see" your outcome/goal manifested.

Individuals do this in many ways. However, the reason many folks don't get that for which they wish is they didn't have a clear picture (focus) or enough energy built up for it. A passing fancy is less likely to manifest than a passion.

Also, what's your intention? Did you word it in the positive? I stopped using "no worries" because, although it's a positive message, the phrase is comprised of two "negative" words." "It's all good," although in passive verb form, the message and words are positive. Instead of saying "don't forget," say "always remember." the intention, energy, and focus are different.

If you are making New Year's resolutions, check your wording and fully feel and see what you want manifesting. You can write out the steps to accomplish that goal (break it into bite size pieces) and focus on the steps while envisioning the manifested end.

Try it. Talk to others. You don't have to do this alone. You have a support system here to help you solidify those goals or help you brainstorm ways to accomplish those goals.

Sparking thoughts

I post quotes and musings here to see if anything sparks for others and to get feedback to see if I'm seeing things clearly/completely.

Words, unfortunately, frequently fall short of expressing what we think, feel, believe. We can be misunderstood by the words we choose because the reader may have a different infliction/ slant/ meaning to the word we choose, so we must be willing to clarify and define for better communication.

The quotes I put here are because they strike a chord of truth for me. If they help others, then fabulous. I keep a Word doc full of them. When I'm feeling at a loss, like I'm swimming in the abyss, I scroll through them or flip through various books to find something to latch on to. The words are usually something I have a strong feeling about (love or hate), and so I explore why I am having such a strong reaction to them. This is how I do tarot readings for folks as well. They choose cards toward which they have strong reactions, and we explore those.

I feel we should do the same with the words and actions of the people around us. If we have a reaction to something a friend says to us or about us, we may have to explore that to see if we find truth there and what that may be.
