May 4: Have A Destination In Mind

I used to drive a cab.  I loved driving cab.  I met all kinds of different people, and for someone who genuinely loves people and always tries to see the humanity and the positive side in everyone, it is sort of a dream job.  It was interesting, fun, and sometimes, a challenge.

There was only one type of customer I disliked:  The person who would get into my cab and have no idea what their destination was.  They would assume they knew an address, a city, or a place they wanted to go, but they wouldn’t be sure about it.  By the end of the trip, which usually led exactly back to where we started, they would be angry, I would be frustrated, and nothing was accomplished.  It cost them money and time, both of which most people value a great deal.

Reminder to self:  Life is the exact same way.  If you don’t know exactly where you are going, it will cost you money and time.  It will frustrate and anger you and the people around you.  Nothing will be accomplished.

The Universe cannot very easily conspire on our behalf if WE don’t even know what we want or where we are going.

Have an exact destination in mind.  Know exactly who you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and exactly where you are going.

If you aim at NOTHING, you will hit it, every time.

Today’s challenge for myself:  I will write down my exact vision for my future, of how I envision it to be 10 years from now.  I will be as detailed as possible about exactly what I want.  If I already have such a list, I will review it and modify it, if needed.

Here are a few incredibly helpful videos, with specific instructions on visualization and goal-setting:

Remember:  Mindset matters.  Character counts.  That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives.  WE CREATE our personal realities.
