BIG ideas.
Make an “I Want” List by Jack Canfield
“One of the easiest ways to begin clarifying what you truly want is to make a list of 30 things you want to do, 30 things you want to have, and 30 things you want to be before you die. This is a great way to get the ball rolling.” ~ Jack Canfield from The Success Principles
That great exercise is from a section talking about the fact that we’ve GOTTA know what we want in life if we have any chance of getting it.
As Ben Stein says: “The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.”
So, what do YOU want? Everything goes perfectly in your life. What’s it look like?
If you’re like most people, you kinda sputter on that question. Why is that? One of the main reasons is that we spend nearly ALL of our time simply responding to the day-to-day challenges of our world and very little time reflecting on what we truly want.
So, make yourself an “I Want” list will ya? I just did it. It rocks.
30 things you want to DO, BE, and HAVE in your life. Get on that! :)
