Previously, I asked you to spend some time meditating about the elements that would play into your ideal future – what matters most to you, how you want to spend your life, and what you want to do with the time you’re given. Now let’s work on clarifying those elements into your vision of your ideal future. Sort through your responses from yesterday and pick out the things that resonate most with you. Which one of your vision move you and make you hurt a little with wanting them so much? Those are the ones we want to deal with – your core desires. Some of these will probably relate to your immediate future, while others may not apply until much later in life.Let’s put your core desires on paper. You can put them on 3×5 cards or create a journal of core desires. The important thing is to make them tangible, and then to see how they fit in with your global life purpose. Write down each core desire with some space around it, so for each we can determine and make note of the following:
A – Highest priority – you absolutely have to achieve this.
B – Priorities – these desires tap into your passions.
C – Average desires – important, but not critical to your life purpose.
D – Below average – low priority desires.
O – Obligation – what you think you ought to do or want
Later, we’ll work on solidifying your vision even more, until it’s so solid and tangible that you’ll be able to feel your self actualization between your fingertips.

"I’m living for me…not to prove to other people that I’m worthy of living. My self-identity was tied up in accomplishments and what others thought of me. It’s good to have that off my back."
