Get What You Want in 7 Powerful Steps

You’re really getting tired of the 9 to 5 “rat race” and are thinking about chucking it for your own business. All your friends keep telling you that you could do for yourself just what you’re doing now for your boss. Why shouldn’t you profit from your ideas instead of him?

You keep thinking about it because you know that you’ll never be financially where you want to be with a weekly paycheck, but what business would you start?

Before you pack in that weekly paycheck, this is the time to evaluate yourself and your future and it takes some real, down to heart honesty. You want to change your life for the better, so let’s start.

Did you know that you have the potential to do and be anything you want? People have different perceptions of the ideal life, and it ranges from obtaining financial freedom to as simple as owning a new pair of sneakers. Unfortunately, many fail to reach their aspirations because they can’t get a solid, clear picture in their mind of what they want.

Take the next few days and embark on a fact-finding journey that will be a life-changing experience. Get a pad and pencil and start with this first step:

STEP 1 – KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT – Be specific in your passions, then focus all your efforts on that particular desire.

Those who always change their minds and those who give up easily when the going gets tough will never get anywhere. If you’re a bit confused and aren’t sure what you really want in life answer these questions:

1. What makes your heart beat with excitement?

2. What makes you happy?

3. What are you constantly thinking of day and night?

4. What do you want to do with the rest of your life?

5. What do you enjoy doing?

6. What are your obsessions?

7. What things make you jump for joy?

Write down all your possible answers to the above questions. Write down everything, no matter how silly or unimportant it seems. Put all your desires on paper that answers any of the above questions.

When that’s done, go back and circle five to seven items that interest you the most. Then evaluate and choose with your heart, not your mind, the one and only thing worthy to spend all your time and resources on and that brings out the best in you.

Now you may wind up with something like, “I want to play quarterback for the RAMS.” If you’re over 20 I’d say that isn’t too viable a choice, but you could do something related to football or sports. How about starting a sports publication? Or perhaps a sporting goods retail business, sports memorabilia business, or even a gym could be the answer. You can always read books and surf the net to help you in your search.

The most important thing to remember, no matter how “pie in the sky” it seems, is to USE YOUR HEART. Others may disagree with you, but you should be firm with what you really want. Others may offer comments or advice, but the final decision is always yours to make. You should concentrate on what you want, not what others want.

Remember you only get one shot at living your life. There are no replays and you don’t get to do it over. You may not do it right, but at least you’re doing it. Too many lives have been lived in quiet desperation waiting until – until they had saved a nest egg, until the children are out of school, until I retire, and they depart this life before “until” ever arrives.

Don’t go to sleep tonight without making a decision on WHAT YOU REALLY WANT IN LIFE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

Then spend a few days evaluating how to make it possible and make a living at it. Begin living every day as if it were the last day you had – never leaving anything to be done next week, next month, or next year.

There will always be bills, things will always break down eventually and need replacing, there may be storms and earthquakes and repairs – but there will only be one life for you to live. It can’t be put on “hold”!

The final outcome of your efforts may be in the future, but you’re living each day by taking steps toward that outcome.

I was walking through the airport today and caught a glimpse of a great advert which showed a picture of Tiger shielding his eyes from a dazzling sun as he peered down the fairway. The caption I think related to the difficulty of making a plan of action if you couldn’t see what lay ahead; I have to say that I am really very uncertain as to what the advert really said or indeed the product which was being “sold” as I was not applying my full attention to it.

The fact that this advert now springs into my mind is a wonderful demonstration of how subliminally advertising works. Our minds perform the most complex activities frequently without us even being aware of what they are even doing from one moment to the next. Our minds perceive so very many things which we encounter and we pay attention to only a very small percentage. And when we do pay attention we may not even see things as they really are.

The perceptions we make via our senses are scanned and sorted and filed into the various compartments of our minds depending upon how we make sense of those perceptions. Only yesterday I was aware of creating an erroneous pattern match in the split second that I “saw” a dog out of the corner of my eye and thought to myself “gosh, that dog is so obedient”. It was that very thought (assumption) which made me look more closely and realize that it was in fact a statue and not a real live dog. I laughed at myself whilst my partner wondered aloud how many times we made erroneous assumptions based upon this type of pattern match. An intriguing thought which few of us take time to contemplate.

We tend to think that what we think is “real”; we think that our view is “solid reality”. The truth is not quite as clear cut; our reality is only real because we make it so in the way in which we choose to think about it. Even then, we are often not aware of choosing how we think and it is more an automatic focus which just happens based upon subconscious expectations.

It is this type of subconscious expectation which is the main barrier to achieving ones goals. Reverting to the advert with Tiger, what I think it was getting at was the fact that one has to be able to clearly see ones goals in your mind’s eye to enable the human mind to find a way in which to get there. If you cannot clearly see what you want then your mind will have no idea in what direction to strive. The thing which is most frequently the culprit in stopping a person on their way to achievement is the inability to see their end result, an inability to see a way forwards.

It is in fact your subconscious mind which needs to be tapped into. This is the driving force in your life which acts without you having to think logically and consciously; it thinks for you, if you see what I mean. But this implies that your subconscious mind does require a certain amount of programming so that it sets off in the right direction. You really don’t want to end up with a statue when you were seeking a real live dog complete with wet nose and wagging tail, do you?!

I am reminded of a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson – “Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine”. If you don’t want to stand in your own sunshine then you will need to get your subconscious mind on side. The easiest way in which to do this is to learn to use hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind which you pass through each night as you go to sleep. As you relax in hypnosis you have access to your subconscious mind which as I said earlier is the part of the mind which acts automatically and spontaneously; it is the part of your mind which acts instinctively and automatically. With hypnosis your mind really can be programmed for success. You can use hypnosis mp3s whilst in the comfort of your own home and train your brain to really see the goals that you desire. You can learn with the help of hypnosis to really imagine your goals coming to fruition.

We humans should pay homage to the power of our subconscious and creative minds because it is what we imagine that we end up creating. As Michelangelo said “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” With the help of hypnosis you will more clearly see your angel and then your subconscious mind will find a way in which to set him free.
