Taking the Powers of Ten idea to the next, exponential level!
At the request of my Monavie mentor, I was asked to re-write my list of 100 Dreams, my own "bucket list."
Well, I'm glad I revisited the list! It came together over many months, and still hides, in a binder, amongst the piles of papers in this office. Now, a copy also resides as an Excel document in my computer, and also on this blog.
Re-typing the list immediately got me in to a great, even excited mood. LoA people would say my "vibration increased." I felt it almost immediately as I REMEMBERED what it was I wanted to be doing with my time on this planet.
I was happy to note that 2 of the goal/dreams have already happened, almost without even trying: "Have a family (wife and 2 kids)" happened exactly like that (so far...?!) and I've been bungee jumping twice.
Some of the goals are still a bit nebulous: "accomplished guitarist" is at what point accomplished?
"Great Cook" is at what point great?
Others, I've kind of achieved, but not really. "Raise great kids" is still a work in progress, and I don't know if a few mini tomatoes warrants checking off "Raise own Vegetables."
As I re-typed the Dreamlist, I noticed that some things could be grouped together. Riding on animals. Visiting places.
Nearing the end of the list, I noticed a pretty obvious progression from "Have" to "Do" to "Be" to "Feel." And I think that is the value of having 100 items on the list. When we have all that we could possibly want, we start to think of what we want to experience. Then who we want to be. Finally, what we want to feel.
Open up an Excel sheet and see if you can get to 100. You don't have to do it all in one sitting. Keep it out prominently on your desktop or phonetop. Open it often. Remember what you are here to do. be. feel.
