What are YOUR Goals of Prosperity and Personal Freedom ??

OKay. So THAT's a BIG question, right ? I guess I should have asked whether you have ever even defined what you goals are first. No problem. Let's go there now. Don't worry...I'll help you.


1st. How do you define "Prosperity" and "Personal Freedom"?
I could give you the Merriam-Webster version, but what's important is 'what do these mean to you?'


For me, Prosperity means being in 'growth' or a 'positive flow or direction'...and it means having passed the 'just breaking even point' to me. Then in a close following, I place Personal Freedom. Personal Freedom, to me, means that I get to be ME - ALL OF THE TIME. It doesn't mean I stop working, because I would be bored, it simply means that I am able to contribute to the lives of others and animals without owners, by creating abundant means for myself. 


2nd. Sort YOUR desires into 'like' groups.


For instance, Physical Health, Wealth, Learning/Knowledge or Personal Relationships


3rd. Prioritize YOUR Desires...not someone else's or what the Media says. 


Ask yourself, "if I could achieve, "XYZ" then 'this and that' would become a HUGE relief"


4th. Determine where YOU are. Determine what does YOUR 'finish line' look like? 


Again, ...not someone else's or what the Media says.


5th. Identify YOUR resources. 


So what can you use, put in place or activate in your life to get the ball moving for your top priority to happen? (Do you have or have access to a computer? the internet? Do you know a lot of people who share your interests?)


6th. Create a Plan. 


If you have trouble laying out the whole map, here are a couple of methods that may help you get started. One way might be for you to "Brainstorm" - When I Brainstorm, I start writing down each step or action that I know is related to reaching my goal. First, I close my eyes and I imagine myself at the end or having reached my goal and how good it feels :-) and then I start to write down everything that was related to getting there.


So I am suggesting that you write down all of the pieces, even if they seem to overlap, on one page of paper or white board or whatever you are using. Get basic though...don't qualify any of your thoughts, just write them down.


If you don't know all of the steps you need, start interviewing people that have achieved what you desire, get your search engines moving on the internet and go to the library...nowadays, the "Wiki"-system is a great resource too.


In either case, you may not have all of the steps or answers you will end up needing to complete your plan in its entirety...in fact, you probably won't. The truth is...most successful people didn't know the exact steps in their plan when they started either...they started, they kept asking questions and surrounding themselves with other successful people and never gave up on their dream.


Part 2 -  "Commit. Take Action. Live YOUR Dream." coming soon...


All the best to you!!
