writing in your journal | The Warm Milk Journal

How can you keep your eye on the prize if you don’t know what the prize is?

Are you dreamy? Do you drift? Do you ever want something more or different for your life?

How can we live the life of our dreams if we are not sure what we want?

To get clear on what you want I offer you this morning these five ideas:

1. In your journal or on a piece of paper, write down 100 things that you want to be, 100 things that you want to have, and 100 things that you want to do.

2. Imagine that you only had a few months left to life. What would be most important to you then?

3. Read about and talk to people who are doing what you want.

4. Express your desires to the people closest to you. Ask for their support (there is also the element of accountability when you share your dreams and goals with others).

5. Keep trying new things and be persistent. It is easy to give up quickly. If you believe in something, stick with it.
