Shape Your Success

“Infatuation is when you think he’s as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, and as athletic as Jimmy Connors.  Love is when you realise that he’s as sexy as Woody Allen, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger, and nothing like Robert Redford – but you’ll take him anyway.”

-Judith Viorst

People are continually being told to “do what they love and love what they do” in order to be successful. However, even with the multitude of books and audios on the market, many people still find themselves wondering what they love to do and inevitable wind up as desperate and unhappy in pursuit of doing what they love as much so as they are in the pursuit of who they love!

Are you in love with your visions of prosperity and abundance, or is it just infatuation? Here’s the simple test -

If it hurts, it isn’t love.

This Week’s Experiment:

(Based on Dr. John F. DeMartini’s book, Count Your Blessings: The Healing Power of Gratitude and Love)

Write down your vision of prosperity and abundance.

Imagine that vision is now a reality. List ten reasons or ways your abundant life is wonderful.

Now list ten problems or challenges that will still be in your life even when your vision is your reality.

Review the ten reasons or ways that your new life will be wonderful. Circle the one you believe you lack most now.

List at least three times when you have already experienced aspect you think you lack.

Finally, review the ten aspects of your vision you don’t yet like. Circle one aspect you think you could either accept or change.

May you fall in love with your life!
