Chapter 24. Reason + Goals - Obstacles = Results
more goals on your list. So choose wisely. Remember, this is not an exercise to figure out how you are going to reach these goals right now; rather, it’s just about setting them. Next, the genie says, “Your next three wishes are things that will happen over the next 18 months.” So look hard at your list and pick three more and put a number 2 next to them. Finally, the Genie says, “Your last three wishes are things that will happen over the next five to ten years.” So choose wisely. Go to your list and put a number 3 next to these goals. Now you have nine wishes marked accordingly from your master sheet. Stay with me on my silly genie analogy; it’s going to come to life soon. It’s the road map for the new direction your life is going to take, and right now you have the power to set a new course. Then the Genie says: “Now the nine wishes you’ve chosen must be very important to your life and your fulfillment. They are probably wishes for you and the people you love, and may even involve some serious changes that need to happen in your life. For your tenth and final wish I need you to go to your goal list and pick ten other goals: fun goals. These may be wishes you had as a child—things that you want to happen over the next couple of years. These are important to you, but they are more fun than seri- ous.” Put a bullet point or check mark next to these goals. Finally, Genie looks at you and says, “There is only one stipu- lation. Using everything you have learned by reading Totally Fulfilled, I want you to write one to two sentences under each wish (goal) with the reason behind the wish (goal) along with the feelings it will give you once you achieve it. If you do not dig deep enough to find the true meaning and feelings of your wish (goal), it will not be granted to you. So please find the reason behind it. Write wisely.” As you go through each of the goals in the exercise, you will likely find similar reasons and feelings associated with several of them. That’s okay. Just keep writing the reason and the feelings you will get as each one becomes a reality. So go to page 289 or use another piece of paper or print it out at the web site and write
