DON'T BE a Plastic Bag

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?.....

This is a song sang by Katy Perry

Do you feel like that sometines where you know you are not controlling your life but the overall life is controlling yours? Meaning the life you want to create doesn't even exist! Only in your imagination and only sometimes?

If that's the case , here is the solution which I am sure you heard about. Write your goals down! 

I practiced this back in 2014...and wrote a post about it...I can tell from my own experience that writing my goals down opened up opportunities to work on towards my goals. Writing goals down keeps you focused on what is important to you and what you want to achieve at your current awareness level. It allows you to create the space you need where you will have your own game ( your goal). 

If you have your own space and your own game, then you wouldn't relate to being a plastic bag. What plastic bag!? Right 😊

I personally wrote my goals in 2014, later didn't , later did and later didn't ...on and off. Only because I thought I wasn't able to work on some of my goals at that point and I was focused on working on my other goal which I was writing down about. I now realize that I actually was working on all of my goals. They were meshed. I wasn't aware of it.  Sometimes it is a bit subtle and hard to detect how the pieces fit together. Like when a guy becomes successful and loses it all. How losing is working on his goals??? Well sometimes it is! Why did that happen? So he can teach people how to be successful AND not to lose it all. Because maybe he wanted to teach all that. Misfortunes at the time they happen don't look like they are part of the experience we want to have. And I don't know that all the misfortuntes have a teaching value. Some of them are plain misfortunes, I think. Life. 

So write your goals down if you want to play your own game. 

 It's ideal that you continue to write your goals everyday. Perhaps you know that several individuals from the past who were successful and took the time to teach people how to be successful advised that you write your goals down. Don't worry about how you are going to bring them about and just write.

TUNE IN TO YOURSELF

 

TUNE IN TO YOURSELF

 

As you all know we live in an age that the world population is Many. 7 billion.

Technology is developed (compared to thousands of years ago ). So we communicate worldwide now, thanks to the tv's , radios, internet, phones, travel etc. As world citizens, we have a lot of ideas circulating around, we are willingly or sometimes not willingly are subject to all .

When we go home after work, we turn on the tv and tune in to some channel. On a regular basis, many of us, get bunches of advertising mail. We turn on the radio while commuting to work, hear news, music, discussions, some of us read newspapers regularly or magazines....we get together with friends and family and exchange ideas.

All this communication that a person experiences, on a daily basis, CAN disperse the person's attention from the personal goals (if the person has any). It is only natural.

So to prevent this, you need to tune in to yourself.

You can decide what your goals are. What do you want to have or do in life?

Money, career, children, interaction with other cultures (travel), personal achievements, learning new skills? All these can be considered topics of choice.

You can put things on your list similar to the following ;

1- I want to invent something that will be great use to the world (personal achievement)

2- I want to have a family and 5 kids

3- I want to have a great career in the field of …...OR I want to become the BEST at what I am doing (but best where? Best in your town? Country? The world? Decide for that too).

4- I want to be close to God etc.

 Be as specific as you can be.

This is my personal realization, when you decide what you want from life, you are subjecting yourself to what you want, rather than random things. I visualize it as opening up pathways in space for yourself  (look at the picture I attached, imagine your pathways are the colored ones in the picture). The things that flow in there are the things that you desire.

So by realizing your own goals and writing them down daily (a friend of mine who is very successful suggests doing this twice a day-in the morning and before you go to bed) will cause you to have a big transformation. It's true and happening to me.

Because you will be so tuned in to your own goals, anything that comes your way that doesn't fit your goals , in other words, “shouldn't be in your path”, you recognize immediately and discard.

Notice I used the word transformation. As soon as you do this for a while (writing your goals), opportunities will come your way. They won't be in the form of “here is your package delivery, inside the career you were asking for” : ) : ) .

They will be in the form of opportunities that you can act on. So you take action, do whatever is necessary to reach your goals. 

Another way of saying this is, the items that arrive from your pathways (opportunities) are the stuff that you can tackle with and win. They are your games and points of interests.

This takes us back to what I was talking about yesterday. When you do the above, you can have speed and determination at high levels! Because you notice the unwanted thoughts (or incidents) right away and do not act upon them and do not waste time with them.

            I hope this makes sense to you. Try this and let me know if it is working the way I outlined.
