You Can Start Your Goals With What You "Don't Want"

It's going to be a great year!

I've got my eye on the prize!

How could it be better than last year!

I know exactly what I want!

Right. That's good for others. Not me.

Yet ... what about if YOU are where I was where I was thinking:

Last year was the worst!

I have no Goal and don't know what I want!

I was burned financially and my partner left me!

My bank account is almost negative and I've got bills!

I hear you. Nice for all of 'them,' but what about me?

I don't know what I want! Is there hope for me?

Of course there is.

Benjamin Franklin always made a list of Pros and Cons when making a decision.

Start your list with twenty five CONS down the left side of the page!

Twenty five things you DO NOT WANT this year!

Then on the right side of the list, write in the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you do not want again, next to your negative entry!

You have determined what you Do want, and you have used the wonderful Law of Polarity, which says for every negative, there is a positive. That's where I started deciding what I wanted.

So whiile you may be confused still about what you do want, start with the negative.

Pick One thing you Do Want and begin to think about it. Think about it a lot.

Begin to imagine in your 'mind's eye,' what it might be like If and When you achieve that.

The way you 'feel' when you visualize what you do want, is the key to getting/manifesting 'what you do want.'

There is always a way.

The post carries a great idea Leslie Flowers. We are biased towards negativity and so we know better what we do not want, If we ask ourselves why then we may know better what we want. I agree with your theis.

So Good Leslie! Anti-Vision can and is a powerful driver to say the least! As Mouse always runs faster to hide from the cat than towards the cheese! ;)

Love this, So helpful to focus completely on one thing until complete and then move on. Versus the popular opinion of multi-tasking.
