Miracle Soup Day 5

Before you can have something that you want, you have to know what it is.

This sounds obvious, and yet there are many people who don't really know what they want. Many people have desires, but when they dream about then, the desire is incomplete. People think about WHAT they want, but not about WHY they want something.

Connecting to the "why" gets us in touch with EMOTION...which is the next important ingredient in miracles.


MIRACLE RECIPE #5: Tapping into Emotion

Cultivate a two-part habit:

1. Instead of focusing on what you don't want, focus on what you do want. (i.e., If you have a headache, focus on wanting to be pain-free, rather than having a headache.)

2. Once you focus on what you want, immediately go one step further...WHY do you want it?

Work at this every day, even on the small things. If it helps, put small reminders that say "Why?" where you will see them, to remind you to determine WHY you want what you want.

More tomorrow...
