Powerful Ways to Expand Your Life


This Year Define your future Think bigger than yourself.
An acorn that only thinks as an acorn will never become a mighty oak.
Stretch yourself. You are capable of more than you ever dreamed is possible
for you,
says Wayne Dyer

Describe the life you’d like to live. The future you see defines the person
you’ll need to be. Identify the traits and qualities you’d like to acquire.
Think bigger than yourself. An acorn that only thinks as an acorn will
never become a mighty oak. Stretch yourself. You are undoubtedly capable
of more than you ever dreamed is possible for you.

Become the person who would achieve your goals

As you develop the skills, knowledge, relationships and demeanour of the
‘future you’, your goals will be the natural byproduct of your growth.
Spend an extra hour each day in the study of your chosen field.

Give more than you must

Nothing advances until somebody does more than they are paid to do. Always
deliver more value than others expect. Don’t require others to acknowledge
your generosity. Give with ‘class’.

Make time for what you love

If you don’t live fully, you deny the world your potential contributions.
Your ‘play’ sometimes contributes as much as your ‘work’. What you love
reveals the value you bring to the world.

Refine your inner circle

We define ourselves through our key relationships. Explore the mix and
depth of those with whom you spend most of your time. Release those who
limit you and connect with those who can help you live more fully.

Resolve your unfinished business

Either deal with it or discard it. Say your apologies, face your fears,
pay your debts, express your gratitude and get on with living. Don’t let
yesterday drain value from today and tomorrow. Break out of the limited
world of your past and start to grow.

Rethink existing habits and routines

Describe your typical day and then reconsider every aspect of it. Change
or expand the places you go, people you see, things you do, and the time
you devote to each. Try new things. Learn a new language, go some place
different, do some things you’d typically pass by. Find out what your
possibilities
really are.

Lighten up

Stop stressing over things that only matter to you emotionally. When life
isn’t fair to you, get over it quickly. Take your misfortunes as ‘course
corrections’ rather than ‘catastrophes’. Let go so you can grow.

Tighten up

Sloppiness in life allows more variables to creep in and spoil your plans.
Stay on target, increase your self-discipline, master the art of
self-motivation.
Sometimes details matter a lot.

Profile yourself

Keep a journal of your goals, concerns, fears, and dreams. Review it at
least once a year. Look for patterns that reveal your core values, natural
velocity, natural intelligences and recurring situations. Realise how life
ebbs and flows for you. Notice the natural cycles of life. Know yourself.

Invest in yourself

Set aside a portion of each year’s income to acquire new tools and teachers
to increase your potential. Refine your systems, get expert coaching, attend
special conferences, cultivate a study group, appoint a board of advisors.
You are your only true asset. Send part of today ahead to the person you’ll
be in the future.
