The Power Of – I Want To.

What if we decided to focus on the things we want to do instead of the things we don’t want to do?

There are lots of things we have to do.

But we are already doing those things. We have to, so we do them.

I’m talking about our spare time. There are things we would like to do that we are afraid or unsure about doing. What if we begin to ask ourselves, what would you like to do if you could not fail?

What do you desire to do?

What do you want to do?

I asked myself that question and the answer brought an amazing amount of energy and creativity into my life.

When I said, I’d like to share this idea of the Power of I Want To.

I began to see myself typing a post and sharing it. In my imagination it was fun. I felt the joy of doing so and I jumped up and began.

Now I repeat the phrase.

I changed, I don’t like Mondays too, I want to see my co-workers and friends.

I want to say it over and over again, Reframing everything I have to do with my new phrase, I want to…

I want to create more time freedom in my life.

I want to live a more fulfilling life.

I want to live the life of abundance God intended for all of us.

This feels amazing. It’s energizing. It’s liberating.

It shifts you from thinking about what you don’t want, which brings you down, to thinking about all the amazing things that are possible.

You may not feel the difference immediately but keep at it. It will become a new habit and bring with it all the goodies I talked about.

Remember the scripture that says…

Whatever things you desire…

When you pray…

Believe that you receive them and you shall have them.

That’s in Mark 11:23

Be mindful of the things you desire. Talk to God about them. you shall have them.

Providence!

God makes a way.

Part 2 of The Power of – I want to.

After making this post, I saved it as a draft. I decided I would go back and edit it and proofread it.

Guess what happened?

I began to imagine, involuntarily, that this was not a good post.

That idea created in me a sense of loss and sadness. I was attacking my creativity. Blocking the light of glory with gloom and doom.

Notice I said “I” was attacking. The truth was my critical voice was attacking my creative voice.

It is said we have two sides to our brain. The right side is the creative side and the left side is the logical side.

It was the creative side I activated by asking the question, what would you do if you could not fail?

When the time was right the logical side spoke up and wanted to be heard. It had a lot to say about how illogical it was to focus on what you wanted to do instead of facing the fact that you could fail and that life wasn’t about doing what you want to do.

I must admit, it was to be expected. I know I would have something negative to say about a creative idea. But never the less it had an impact on my optimism and energy levels.

So what do you do when this happens?

You remind your logical side, which wants to be heard, that you are doing the necessary things for your core survival. You will not neglect those important things.

But…

You must also give space to your creative side and let your dreams carry you to new and exciting places!!! That’s also what life is all about!

This may trigger a small sense of fear from the logical in control side, but that’s OK, that just means creativity is moving forward!!!

A word on timing…

I gave myself time. I didn’t fight the sad feeling. I waited till my energy was back up before I came back over to this post to engage with internal dialog.

It would do you good to write down your thoughts and idea’s around anything you face in life. It helps with understanding what’s really going on inside and around you.

I also say the Lord’s prayer daily. I trust Him for guidance.

So do you know the end of this story?

Of course you do. I published and shared this post. So yes it worked!
