Write It Down, It Will Be Yours

“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which trancends everything.” -Napoleon Hill

Have you ever written down exactly what you want?

I have. Usually it is part of a journaling project or a manifestation exercise. Or those type of questions like where do you see yourself in 5 years? Then months or years later you stumble across that page again.

Every time it happens to me I find it has at least in part, become my reality.

My mother is always cleaning out her house. The other day, she showed up with a pile of things from my childhood bedroom. She does this kind of thing from time to time and it is like being dropped into your own personal time capsule.

She paraded in with huge trophies from my majorette days. My high-school cheerleading uniform was perfectly preserved in dry cleaned perfection. There were papers and report cards and a scrapbook I had made as a child.

As I turned the pages of memories, I saw my 11 year-old handwriting. The yellowing book was full of newspaper clippings and pictures of my best friends. And then I saw it.
