Four things

Posted: 96 days ago | In: Spiritual Intelligence

Part three of the series, “How to define a vision for your life.” Read the first part here.

Up to now you’ve completed two very important steps. In the first part, you captured all your hopes and dreams on paper, those desires that would pop up in your head from time to time. If you did the task as we instructed, your list should be quite extensive almost unattainable. Don’t worry. Dreaming is important. Those who didn’t write a lot are the ones that should be worried.

From there you took the next step and traveled into the future. Through the eyes of faith you saw the life that you want to have on a certain date. You saw the colors, smelled the smells, heard the sounds, touched the things and tasted how your dream will taste. Now you have an idea of what you want, and you captured it on paper.

Now you’re ready to take the third step: Prioritize the four most important things on the list you wrote. Review the list again. Out of everything you wrote and saw, what are the most important things that you would like to achieve? Write an “x” next to them.

Most likely you’ll notice that there are things you can’t achieve before others, in other words, there’s a natural order of things that has to be followed. You’ll then see that some things are more significant than others, once they’re conquered, the smaller ones will practically follow along as a consequence. Some things are more urgent and others can wait.  And there are even some which will bring greater benefits and satisfaction.

In short, you will prioritize, using the above criteria, focus your strength on four things maximum. One or two is not enough, three or four is good, more than this would be too much to pursue at one time.

So, showing no mercy, and strictly using  your intelligence, look at your list and define the four things that you will prioritize and fight to achieve. Don’t forget that everything should have a deadline – the date you intend to accomplish it. (They can be different dates.)

Four things, each with a clear deadline.

Do this, and I’ll see you on the last post tomorrow.
