The Fourth Step: Commitment
In the book The Five Wishes by Gay Hendricks, he describes a place he does not really want to be but has agreed to accompany his fiancée. While there he meets a man who is about as excited to be at this place as he is and a conversation begins. The mans asks Gay: “Imagine you are on your deathbed and I ask you ..has your life been a success?” The remainder of the book is about his answers and what happened once he realized he still had time to change the outcome.
Look at your dreams and desires restated as intentions and ask yourself if any of those are in the area of “need to happen for me to view my life as a success!“ Alternatively maybe you missed listing a few things on your dreams and desires list. Remember what you are focusing on is where any part of your answer to the question “has your life been a success” is no.
The intentions you have listed that you want to manifest so you can say yes to the question are ones where you use a highlighter or colored pen or simply circle them as an identification of those intentions you are absolute committed to manifesting. On a clean sheet of paper in your Tool Chest write each of your commitment statements as you picture yourself already doing them. Then follow your inspiration as your inspiration develops to manifesting each commitment.
For example, maybe you work in the title processing department of your county’s licensing bureau. You have security and a predictable paycheck for your family. You have a passion for carpentry and specifically building bookcases, tables and other furniture using unique combinations of popular and at times hard to find wood. You have now identified being an artist building wood cabinetry and furniture is the work that really gives you satisfaction. Your dream list might be “ earning the lifestyle of my dreams as a artist building custom wood furniture”. Your intention might be “ I intend to pursue my dream and become a custom furniture artist”. Now that you have identified this a one of the areas where you would feel you were a failure if you died not achieving this intention, you write the commitment “ I am a popular artist building custom wood cabinetry and furniture for people who appreciate fine works of art that are built to be used as cabinets and furniture in luxurious homes and offices.”
May you experience your pure potentiality and live the life of your dreams. If you enjoy this material please send this link to all you know including those you care about and those whose physical presence you don’t particularly care about.
