Buckle down on your bucket list for success.
Ah, the bucket list- the place where you can list off everything and anything you want to do in this life. Perhaps you did one when you were little and said you wanted to be in the circus or to live in a foreign country or go to the moon! The truth is, the bucket list has a powerful place in your adult life too. Many people forget to write down what it is they want to experience or accomplish in life and so it just rolls along, and they never contribute to fulfilling those desires (until a mid-life crisis hits!).
I propose the following exercise to ensure that you think about and bring about success and fulfillment in this life, by having a bucket list.
- Write down your goals and dreams- put on a piece of music you like (it connects both sides of your brain), and with an empty sheet of paper in front of you start writing whatever comes to you from learning a foreign language to starting your own business. Let the thoughts flow and write them down in a continuous motion- anything that comes to mind!
- Write your goals in the present tense and give thanks- “I am so grateful that I have my new amazing job at such and such…”
- Write down why you want your goal and what you need to do next to get there and when you need to do it by. Create momentum moving forward, and commit yourself to taking action steps.
- Dream big and keep creating new thoughts.
- Be clear about what you want- the more clearly you know what you want, the faster it comes to you.
- Concentrate thoughts in a positive way. Affirm, in deep concentration, what you are seeking and watch the Universe provide it.
- Visualize. Review your goals daily, reading your list and visualize having, experiencing and living your goals and dreams.
- Remember, there is no failure- just delays in results. Keep your mind and determination strong. Have perseverance!
- Don’t wait for an opportunity- seek them.
- Give thanks for what you already have, it perpetuates a general feeling of being happy where you are and attracts more of the same feeling of fulfillment, good people and good opportunities.
