My Manifesto

Every trip must have a destination

Much like a business, I think it is important to have a series of accompanying documents that back you up in decision making.

I have a series of documents that I maintain that help me through life. All of which I will cover in due course.

The main, most important document is a vision of the destination you are heading towards. This I will call the Manifesto.

Within this manifesto, we will have two sections, the Why and the What.

Let me share with you my manifesto (below). It might provide some insights into my motivations, what drives me and what I love. The why covers the highest, rolled up distillation of why you are doing something.

The why is important as when you falter from motivation and you have no habits in place,

you will need to go back to your Why to rekindle your purpose and drive.

The what is important as it clearly lists what you intend on doing. It is a clear destination that you can route plan to.

The what is also important as it is a manifestation of your wants. Neville Goddard who I am studying, conveys the importance of the past tense of wants as they are in the context of

a wish fulfilled

The idea of metaphysics is a bit “out there”, but truthfully, sports professionals, high performers, use positive visualization as a technique for positive outcomes.

We will use this Manifesto as a roadmap when we slow down, get lost, get distracted, lose motivation. This will be our guiding star in getting to where we want to be.

Create this manifesto on a cloud drive, save it forever. Modify it when you see clarity and when your character changes. We are mutable and we change.

I have all of my guiding documents in one file. I scroll through it every day to remind myself.

Let’s investigate my manifesto.

Past tense. Ideal state - lets go.

Yes, I know money isn’t everything. However I find myself, personally to get miserable if I don’t have tangible, real world goals to work towards.
