We all have life changing moments. Sometimes you’re aware of them as they happen,
other times suddenly you look back and see the full impact of how a particular decision shaped the rest of your life.
Eight years ago I was at a cocktail party when a woman I didn’t really know walked up to me and asked me a question. That question instantly changed the way I was creating my life, forever.
She didn’t say, “Hi, how are you?” or anything. She simply said, “Where will you be
five years from now in your business?” I’m thinking, “What an odd first statement.”
I immediately started rattling off where I would be like I was reading it off a page. It
surprised me how quickly I could go right into my future.
I could do the same today because I’ve been consciously creating my life for whole adult life. The thing that made this different was the certainty and the level of detail I knew about what my life and my business would be.
Where was it coming from?
Do you ever feel like you’re having an out of body experience as you are listening to
yourself talk? That’s what was happening to me. I was talking and yet my mind was
also observing the whole scene coming to it’s own conclusion.
Then I realized I was reading the words I was saying right out of my own journal, as if the page was clearly printed on my mind. I write the answer to that question as one of the daily lessons in my program, “Change One Thing, Change Your Life”, every 40 days. I had written the latest version in the last couple weeks.
At the same time I was talking I was thinking to myself, “Where is the vision of my life
in five years that I wrote in April of 2001 when I was just starting in this new business? Did I even keep it? I’ve never looked for it since I wrote it.” And my next thought was, “I wish I had a copy of what I wrote for my 10 year vision while living in Cabo in 1998, because thinking back to what I remember, I think I’m pretty much living it!”
I had an entirely different life when I lived in Cabo and yet I wrote these things that had no meaning to me at the time as I projected my life forward and trusted where those dreams came from as I wrote them down. 10 years seemed like a really long time, and now it’s passed.
And here I am…
Back 8 years go, I was getting a lump in my throat and goose bumps as I said to this woman, “I’m very clear on what I want my life to be and I’m actually living it. I’m right on track to be where I want to be in 5 years!”
It was like being hit with a brick. I hadn’t given that much thought to how my 5 year
projection shifts every 40 days. I know it does, it’s always different, because every time
I cycle through those lessons I’m different.
And yet, at the foundation of all of it is my personal manifesto. Did you create yours?
It’s a powerful tool.
The last one I created was so strong and so accurate that during a coaching session
yesterday I got it out and talked about it with my mentee. And there’s nothing I need to
change after 10 years because the essence of who I am is still the same.
That’s your personal manifesto. It’s the bedrock that everything you create is based on.
It’s the yard stick you measure every decision against. When I hear people talking year
after year about how they are still not sure who they are or what their life purpose is I
just want to tell them it is so simple.
Take the steps, use the tools for discovering what is already inside you-just waiting for you to ask the right questions so the truth of who you are can reveal itself to you!
When the woman at the party asked me that question, it was so ingrained into my brain I was moving forward on my blueprint without even realizing it. I immediately wondered where I would be at this point, through that first 10 year projection, if I had made more of a conscious effort.
I believe I would have achieved everything in record time and even more if I would have known then what I know now about the life blueprint process and what it takes to go from a vision to a blueprint and a step by step plan, all built on the foundation of a personal manifesto.
Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? Isn’t it amazing how many times we set a plan in motion with a simple wish or desire without even putting any conscious effort into it?
Do you ever wonder what else you would have accomplished if you would have really
created a step-by-step plan and followed through with conscious action?
What would your answer be if someone walked up to you today, out of the blue, and asked you what your life was going to look like in five years?
Do you have a clear blueprint of where you are going to be next year, two years from now, much less five years from now?
