If you don't know the target, how can you hit it?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cBe Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.\u201d -Lao Tzu<\/p>\n

Now we’ve\u00a0let go<\/a>\u00a0of the past, and figured out how to\u00a0feel good<\/a>\u00a0all the time, now lets figure out what we are going to create with this new power!<\/p>\n

I have said many times that you know, right now in your heart, what you want and what it is you were sent into the world to do. If you feel like you *don’t * really know what you want, keep reading!<\/p>\n

Everyone comes into this world with certain lessons to learn and tasks to accomplish, this should be especially obvious to my Brothers and Sisters who believe in\u00a0reincarnation\u00a0<\/a>. The way you know what it is you want \/ are supposed to accomplish, is it is that still, small voice inside if you that says things like:
\n\u201cI want to be a singer\u201d, or
\n\u201cI want to be a painter\u201d, or
\n\u201cI want to be an actor\u201d, etc. It is the one voice in your head that is *always * positive, and supportive. Usually a much louder voice kicks in to tell you why your dream isn’t possible, why you aren’t good enough, why everyone will laugh at you, etc. etc; but that one little voice will always remain.<\/p>\n

Your #1 task in life is to listen to and follow that voice.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
