One of my favorite personal development coaches, Steven Covey, said: ‘Begin with the end in mind.’ In professional cooking, I was taught to begin with preparing dessert. In building we start with a rendering, then draw the plans, then clear the site, then collect the materials, and finally they manifest into what was envisioned. In the Master Key Experience, it’s the definiteness of purpose – my DMP. I’m sensing a theme.

Almost every element of my current life is stuck and ripe for change. I’m ready to journey to the new life, burn the ships and cut off any way to retreat – I just don’t know where I am going. I’m almost 50/50 blue/red. Apparently, having difficulty making a decision is a very blue trait, and the red part of my personality is impatient. I am attracted to so many different possible outcomes! I imagine my blue program is driving my red program bananas!

The Fourth Verity from Mark J’s Standing Tall course reads:

The world is full of temptations and distractions. It is full of wonder, of great things, of useless short cuts, of mirages promising happiness, of good ideas and fine businesses. How can I tell the difference and withstand all distractions? …… I hold my focus on what will advance only three things; my relationship to the Source of All Good, to my loved ones and to my service driven purpose. Mark Januszewki

Even the PPN’s were tricky to narrow down to just two. I know this much, without true health you have nothing, and I want to be around to build a legacy for my kids. When it really boils down though, I want liberty and autonomy.

Freedom to choose whatever I want whenever I want it and the money to do it without fear, regret, or placing the burden on my family. But that is too vague for subby. So what does that look like? What do I need to make that happen?

In all of the teachings I have absorbed through the years, I have always understood the focusing on the how is putting restraints on the universal intelligence and limiting or abridging the unknown pathways in which the universe (and your subconscious) will answer your call. Haanel writes:

(27)…it is not necessary to outline the method by which the subconscious will produce the results you desire. The finite cannot inform the infinite. You are simply to say what you desire, not how you are to obtain it. Charles Haanel

I guess I am squarely back to begin with the end in mind. What would the person I intend to become do next?

I look forward to gaining the clarity through the Master Key to overcome these apparent blockages I am still clinging to. But hey! If I wasn’t hitting road-blocks, I would already be down the right road. So onward with the Master Key!
