Goals - Write Them Down Create Your Life

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
-- Fredrich Nietzsche

Writing brings things into the real world makes them tangible so have you written down your goals yet? If not why not? Words are an integral part of the thinking process. Words convey images, pictures, feelings, emotions to the mind. Say to yourself what is that smell it really stinks, then say what is that fragrance and see the difference in what the mind produces.

We think many things and we can be thinking of something without realizing fully what it is but add the magic indgredient of writing them down and see what happens. When we clothe our thoughts in words an amazing thing happens they take on a shape, body, form and substance. In other words they come into the real world. Try it and you will see how easily they become a real thing instead of an illusive thought.

Another amazing thing happens the subconscious take on the thoughts that are now in the real world and make them happen. We can now phsically look at our impossible dream. Even the act of eye in cordination with the hand holding the pen makes a firmer impression on the mind. As we read and reread the goal we implant it deeper and deeper in the mind.

Put it up somewhere where you will see it, maybe on your bathroom mirror. Draw a picture of the next step put your picture doing it. An example would be a goal to buy a new car. Put the picture of the car and a picture of you at the wheel up where you can see it frequently.

The amazing thing that happens is the mind transforms the picture into reality. Keep rewording your goal. Use lots of action verbs and use the present tense like it has already happened. Don't just do it once, but once a day. You will be amazed at how it changes and new ideas are added.

Putting it in writing breathes life into it making it a force which cannot be easily stopped.
