We all have an inherent need to grow, evolve and manifest ever greater realities. This is basic to our happiness and feelings of self-acceptance and self-contentment. Happiness can be created in two ways.

a. By manifesting what we wantcreating the reality we desire. b. By learning to be happy with what we havewith our present reality - until we can create an even more positive reality.

We effectively manifest our goals with these 8 steps.

1. Clarify goals 2. Set Intention (consciously and subconsciously) 3. Determine Actions and "sacrifices of love" 4. Remove inner obstacles 5. Employ efforts and program 6. Perseverance 7. Patience 8. Detachment from result

1. Determining and clarifying our goals

a. We start by making a list of our goals. What we would like to accomplish in the near and far futurebefore we leave these bodies? We might be talking about any goals on any level. Some examples might be:

Health Lose weight A harmonious love relationship Financial security Abundance on all levels Professional advancement Professional satisfaction Greater effectiveness in dealing with clients Better relationship with time. Able to be more assertive with others Greater Athletic achievement Greater success with the opposite sex Dietary discipline Increased creative ability Learn to dance (paint, write, act etc.) Learn a musical instrument Learn a language Public speaking ability To be able to be totally honest with self and others To be able to be myself in all (specific) situations Better grades at school Learn to fly a plane Travel around the world (or to a specific place) More effective communication with _______ Be able to Love ____ as he/she is Overcome the pain of the loss of a loved one. Overcome attachments and or fears. Greater Concentration Better Memory Emotional maturity Greater Self-acceptance Greater Self-confidence Mental development Thought-free meditation Happiness in all situations Inner Peace regardless of external events Selfless Love for all Moral contentment

Many other possibilities ________________________________________________

Please take time to choose a goal of your own or inner potential that you want to manifest.

Some of my present goals (inner potentials that I would like to manifest) are: 1. _____________________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________________ 4. ____________________________________________________________

The first goal I would like to work on is: _____________________________

b. Then we will want to understand why we want to manifest these goals or inner potentials. This helps us clarify why this goal is important.

1. What do we believe we will get or feel when we succeed? (What is the need behind the need?) (Happiness, satisfaction, self-worth, acceptance, recognition, peace, security, money, freedom, satisfy parents) Why do we want, need or desire to do this?

When I have manifested this goal (inner potential) I (believe I) will now have: c. Greater financial security d. Higher self-worth e. More acceptance/recognition from others f. Greater freedom g. Satisfaction h. Inner peace i. Long term Happiness j. Greater Self-actualization k. Moral satisfaction l. Inner fulfillment m. My parents' recognition n. Other _______________________

The most important of the above for me are: ________________________________

Sometimes the goal may not be oursbut for our parents or for societyspouse.

2. Is this goal for me or for others? Is it a childhood programming?

3. Is this goal worth pursuingas a processeven if the results are not what I imagine or would like? Is this ideal important enough for me to make the effortnot matter what happens?

4. Is this goal moving towards something or running away from something?
