What Do You Want From Your Life?



What do you want from your life?


Tia, my mentor Anusha's daughter

with her super vision board

Getting the right job, managing a wonderful relationship with a loved one and family members, getting admission for children to a prestigious educational institution, getting a salary increase or promotion, owning a house/apartment, ranks in entrance tests, sales of product, expanding the business, marriage of children, recovery from health problems, earning more money, making more profits, starting your own business……the list goes on and on…some of these sentences may or may not be applicable for you but you may have a new sentence to add to the list. But I repeat, what do you want from your life? It’s not that I just ask this crazy question during my workshops, I just want to understand have you ever asked your self “What I want from my life?”. Looks strange. Isn’t it? But in the process of getting answers to this question, your thoughts will help you determine what exactly you are expecting from you.
Explore yourself and your life

Ask what do you want from yourself?

List all those things that you want from yourself and from this world.

Take your journal/diary/ personal note book and pen or open your word document or take a recorder if you are comfortable with voice recording, now start writing / recording what you want in your life.

Keep writing don’t stop…write all things that you want, focus on things that you always desire to have, things that you always dreamt to work with, things that you always wanted to achieve…..don’t think about possibilities of achieving (doubts regard to your achievement), never worry about whether you know everything about that….just think and record what you want.

Start writing ....think about areas that you want to learn, think about skills that you want to improve, think about academic qualifications that you want to have on your track record, think about places in this world or out of the world that you want spend time, think about who you want to spend time with, your family members, friends, colleagues, neighbors in your community, what should be the kind of people that you always interact with, think how much money you want to earn, what type of house you want to build and how it should look, what car you want to buy, what suit you want to wear, what company you want to work or what type of company you want to create and what should be your company size, what should be the people, what do you learn to create your own career/business learning you want to do, how do you want to take care of your parents or children, what relation you and your loved one should maintain, what should be your relation to this world, think about what assets you want to obtain, think about places you want to visit and enjoy, people you want to meet and share, experiences you want to sense and adventures you desire to accomplish, emotions you always keep with you…..move on and on….record ….continue …. write …write…never stop…….. then look at things you want…….write about your body…. how you want it to be, your health, how you want to manage….your emotions, how you want to handle….impression, how you want this world should have on you....wealth, you want to create….help that you want to do anyone in this world……keep writing / recording till all your thoughts are explored ….if you want try to read/ listen what you have done and then again add anything if you want…………

My dear friends this is what you want for your life.Absolutely. Isn't it?Close your eyes for 3 min….Imagine that you have got everything in the list as you desired for a moment…how is the feeling? See as if all your thoughts become true in real world..see them as a movie or photo….listen as if your life tune is changed and you’re singing what you always want…sense/feel the things as if all things you listed are really happened ..experience it now as if it happened..you achieved….accomplished….. how is that feeling?

Yes if you do all these things in you life, you feel more satisfied …more joyful…..more contended…..feel like your enjoying true essence of life. Now check things that you already have in your life now, enjoy them…. Main essence of this exercise is that you already have a few things in your life that you most liked about, enjoy them; what you want in your life defined by your experience to this world. Imagine, if some one told us that s/he can fly 2000 years ago, we should have laughed at him/her saying don’t go crazy. But now we have 40,000 passengers per day flying in Shamshabad airport. The invention of  the airplane is a classic example of how we need not to know every step of how to achieve in order to achieve something miracle, wonderful and something that creates value to you and others in this world. If you closely observe what you have written and check them with few important aspects of your life, you can convert them as your goals…. To do list for your life. Believe me every great success starts simple. Start writing what you want. Start asking your life what it wants. 

Dream…imagine….energize….ignite thinking…..achieve success ….expect miracles in life!!! Hope this exercise helps you in exploring yourself. Please do contact me (newlife.chandra@gmail.com) if you or your friends want any further assistance in setting up your goals and designing your strategy.

Looking forward to share your success story one day.
