Why Everyone Needs a Wish List Beyond the Holidays
This holiday season many people have a wish list.
This is a list of things that you would like to have.
Or used to have. But you lost it. Like that loving feeling. Now it’s gone, gone, gone.
You share your wish list with the people who are apt to give you a gift.
Usually, this is your family or friends.
But sometimes, it’s a bearded dude in a red suit who leads an army of magical elves.
(And sometimes that works out far better than logic would indicate.)
The wish list does 2 valuable things:
- It forces you to think about the things you need and want.
- It helps others get you the things you need or want.
But a powerful tool like a wish list shouldn’t be limited to the holidays.
And it shouldn’t just be something you offer other people.
You should create a wish list for yourself.
It should include the things you would like to have. Both needs and wants. Big and small
The things on your wish list could be:
- Material
- Psychological
- Emotional
- Physical
- Spiritual
- Relational
- Financial
- Brown paper packages tied up with string
By creating a wish list, you are identifying the things that would improve your life.
Once you know what those things are you can pursue them.
You can attract them.
You can recognize them when you see them.
You can appreciate them when they arrive.
This wish list can be used to improve your personal life.
But it can also improve your professional career.
Or your business.
Or your community.
Or your wardrobe.
Because when you become clear on the things you really want, you create your own gravitational pull.
That’s when the things you really want find a way to find you.
