What do you want? Once you know what you want, you can figure out why you desire it and what impact it will that have on your life.

If you don't know what you want, that's OK... First, make two lists on a sheet of paper, one for your desires, the other for what you don't want in your life. The difference between the two is called contrast. Under the heading of wants, write down things such as: new car, great job, and wonderful relationship. Be as specific as you can be to the point of color, shape, size, texture, and when you want it. On the other side, under the heading of don't wants, write things such as a nagging boss, bad relationships, broken down car, and so forth.

You can now see, by comparing the items on the two lists what is truly important to you and this an easy, specific way to visually see what you really desire by illustrating what you don't want. Identifying what you want is the greatest place to start the search for your desire and your purpose in life. Why? Because your soul has led you to the point to ask, "What do you want," and of course, you said, "I don't know."

When you start on your journey by stating what you want in the positive, it will get those juices flowing and you won't believe how many people will come forth to assist you on your journey. To help strengthen your resolve, you can post pictures of your desire all around your house, at your office, and even in your car. These visuals will help you stay focused and shield you against unwanted negative thoughts which you may experience during the day from social distraction.

Once you have started, you might want to ask yourself whether the desire is for you or for someone else. If the desire is yours, you will be able to move forward blissfully, for it is in the loving of yourself first that you will bring about change in other areas of your life. Loving and appreciating everything about you sets in motion the vibration of good feelings into the Universe, which in turn sends you sensations that are more positive. If for some reason you want a particular desire to please someone else, you will fail or become diseased in your attempt to force their desire into existence. Why? Because trying to align with someone else's desire would take a lot of energy, if you were not totally connected to the Universe. When you want something for another allow yourself to hold that desire in your mind whether the person is joyous, depressed or diseased that is your part. When something is forced and it does not come from volition, it will cause an unsuccessful outcome.
