23some time (10 minutes) to quiet your mind and relax. As your busy mind settles,you get in touch with your Absolute Awareness and start to affirm, “I can do it.I will do it. I do it now.”G – Goals are defined as a mark or target to reach. Many people don’t consciouslyset goals or even if they do, they set goals that are not exciting and meaningful.When you set Worthy Goals, you set goals that get you motivated, excited and pullyou in the direction you want to go. These goals are in alignment with your PureMotivation (core values).For example, if someone has a value of being healthy and feeling good, then amotivating goal would be, “I will weigh my ideal weight of 175 lbs. by May 9/07.”What your Worthy Goals do is give your Pure Motivation a specific place to reach.Get excited and write out all the things you want to be, do and have. From that list,identify all your short-term and long-term goals. This will help you put your goalsin priority and build a sense of urgency to accomplish them. It is amazing howsuch a simple task will give you such a feeling of purpose and direction.I – Imagination is the act or power of forming a mental image. Your imaginationis your plan-making department and this is where all of your dreams andvisions are created. The challenge for most people is that they are continuallythinking the same thoughts day after day, hoping for a different result. In orderfor things to change, the thoughts and images must change.The images that you most often create are who and what you become. What youare destined to attract will depend on whether you are creating positive or negativeimages in your mind. For example, you may create negative images in your mindof bills and a ton of debt. If you switch this to the positive image of cheques beingdelivered in your mail, you will begin to attract more wealth into your life. It’s assimple as knowing that what you think about, you bring about.Your imagination becomes proactive when you are vividly imagining what youwant and even feeling as though you have achieved it.Mentally picture and imagine yourself having already achieved your goal. Whatdoes it look, feel and sound like? Take time throughout the day and create positiveimages to attract positive things into your life.C – Choices are the act or power of choosing. The most powerful quality humanbeings have is the power to choose. Accepting full responsibility for the choices youmake empowers you to create your own destiny. Many people blame others andcomplain about their life and circumstances. This results in giving up their powerto create their own destiny. Everyone in life faces problems and challenges. Whatmatters is how you choose to deal with these situations and learn from them.What choices will you have to make to attain your goals? Choose to commit toyour newly designed life and do three things every day to move you closer toachieving it. What three things will you do today?Adopt the 5 powerful rules of MAGIC:1.
