Freedom

Being a millionaire, for most of us, means financial freedom. That is an awesome thing, however what if we don't know what freedom really means to us?

Here is a great exercise. On a clean sheet of paper write down "What freedom means to me" and go for it! I mean it. Write every thought, idea, concept, sillyness that comes into your head and just keep going. Write until you have exhausted yourself and feel complete. Than... Look at what you have written. Review it. DO NO EDIT it. Accept the typos, the impossible dreams as they lay on the page before you.

This exercise is great because it gets you in touch with your dreams. Your dreams are your ticket to freedom. If you find you sit there with a blank sheet of paper and nothing on it it isn't because you don't have dreams, it's that you haven't listened for so long, they are staying silent. In this case, go to the magazine section of your favorite bookstore and look at travel mags., home and garden, the Robb Report, your favorite car magazine, Spa finders, etc. Stimulate your imagination and continue to do so until you feel charged up and than write.

Give yourself a short time to do this. Maybe 20 or 30 mins. Pretend you are 14 years old... If someone had asked you to do a list of what freedom means to you at that age, it would be done at lightening speed. If you are thinking, you aren't writing.

Remember, you do not have to know how these things are going to happen, only that they will if you are truly passionate and dedicated to them happening in your life, even the really big stuff and especially the really big stuff. It all works, for you when you believe.

So, what does freedom mean to you?

Once you completed and reviewed you list, keep it someplace safe and than do the same excercise ten times over the next 21 days. Be diligent. I'll ask you right now, would you do this if at the end I said you would receive a check for one hundred thousand dollars? You would probably do it if I said you would receive a check for five hundred dollars, so lets take action and do this all the way because the pay off will be more than those dollars combined.

Once you have done this ten times, get all of your pages out and review them together. Find the consistant elements, the things that you wrote down every single time. You may not have written it identically every time, but you will know the things that repeat over and over again. Now, make a "Master Freedom List" from all the repetitions and there you have it. What freedom means to you!

It's pretty simple stuff, but if you don't do it, the chances of you finding freedom, finacially or otherwise are almost nil.

Happy writing.

PS. This is a good exercise to revisit every few months and at the very least, once a year.
