Have You Made Your List for 2007?

Good Morning: It's the last day of 2006. Have you made your list of what you want to do, see, and accomplish for 2007? If you haven't, take some time and write it down.

Don't just dream about your desires. Take an empty notebook, and write them out in detail. It does make a difference to do that. You can always add more specifics as you go along. But try to describe whatever it is you want with such detail that you "feel" it happen; see it happen. Begin to visualize. Use your God-given gift of imagination.

What is it that you dream of? Is it a new car? Wrap your hands around the steering wheel of that...car. See the color. Feel the interior. Feel the excitment of driving your ___ car.

Is it a new home? Feel yourself walking into the foyer of your beautiful ___ ( ranch, tudor, colonial,...) new home. See yourself entertaining next Christmas in your new living room enjoying yourself and loved ones with all the desired interior. Be specific.

Do you desire restored health in your body? Visualize a healthy, whole, restored ___. Visualize every cell within you surrounded with love and filled with joy and wholeness.

You fill in the blanks. But it's most important to feel it throughout your whole being. I know this very well.

Just imagine yourself attaining and becoming what you wish to have. In other words, as the old saying goes, "Hitch your wagon to a star." That star may be something quite out of reach as far as present circumstances indicate, but if we hitch our wagon to something in such a lofty position, our mind will begin to take wings. It will no longer be like a worm crawling in the dust for you are no worm. You are superb creation of God and you will rise and continue to rise.

So make your list, check it twice, and make sure all your desires in every minute detail are expressed. Keep your mind on only the good, and live in expectation. Live in joy and the undaunted expectation of prosperity. Remember that prosperity, from the old definitions, means wholeness in mind, body, and estate, or wholeness in your entire life. Know what you want, and then image those things upon the mind constantly. As a famous old writer once said:

"The imagining faculty is the creative faculty of the mind, the faculty that creates plans, methods, and ideas. Our imagination therefore must always be clear, lofty, wholesome, and constructive if we would create superior ideas and build for greater things. Follow the vision of the soul. Be true to your ideals no mater what may happen now. Then things will take a turn and the very things you wanted to happen will happen."

Wishing you a safe and wonderful New Year's evening and a very happy, blessed 2007,
Donna
