I have a challenge for you. What I want you to do is take out a notebook and a pen, or open up notes or Evernote, or use this handy dandy form below, and list 20 things that you want that would make your life easier. It can be actual tangible objects, changes in the way the people around you act, amounts of money, connections, mindset shifts.
Whatever. Just 20 things you wish you had. It’s Ok if you can’t get all 20 filled, just write as much as you can.
(You can of course take the above challenge rhetorically and just keep reading if you’d like)
Great!
Now, for part 2 of the challenge… flip the page over (or scroll down) and write a second list:
20 things I have already that I’m grateful for and make my life easier. It’s Ok if you can’t get all 20 filled, just write as much as you can.
(Again, feel free to take this challenge rhetorically, but at least think as hard as you can about it)
Done!
The trick to having a Miserable 2020 is this: focus on the first list.
The trick to an Abundant 2020? focus on the second list.
Don’t get me wrong. It is FINE to want things. It is great to have goals and to strive for things that will make your life easier and that you think will make you happy. It is necessary even. But you need to understand that the way to get those things is to focus on all you have, all you’ve been given - bask in that sunshine daily — USE what you have, USE what you have been given.
Want to crush this year with me?
Focus on all you’ve already got.
and let’s get this thing.
