Introduction
For the last three decades I have been working with the Get What You Want (GWYW) approach to life, which is based on clearly determining what you want, envisioning it, and then getting it. Most recently I used this to decide where I wanted to move, what kind of house I wanted, which part of town, and what I hoped to pay. Then after looking at one house that fit the bill, I quickly decided where I wanted to be. Four weeks later thats exactly where I moved. I have used this same technique to target houses, work, and other goals in the past. So its a time-tested approach that I have used myself and in numerous workshops as well.
Essentially, this approach consists of three simple steps:
1) You determine what you really wantand can realistically obtain.
2) You see a clear vision of what you want and see yourself achieving that.
3) You take the needed steps to get it, including overcoming any obstacles, making any modifications, and finally, enjoying the experience of achieving what you want.
As you take these steps, you see your goal and the needed steps or modifications in your mindso your power of visualization is essentially your guide to gaining what you desire.
The ability to visualize, or mentally imagine, what you want and what you need to do to get there is like your car engine and steering wheel combined. You rev it up and then drive exactly where you want to go, making changes in your route as need be. By clearly visualizing what you want, you tap into your creative energy which helps to propel you to your goal and know what to do in order to get there. Plus, you can draw on images and ideas that are already meaningful and powerful for you, such as calling on a spiritual teacher, guide, or imagined real-life mentor to help with wisdom and support. Or you can create new images and ideas you associate with things you want to achieve your goals.
