The other day the Monkey and I shared with you a post about our DESIRE STATEMENT we had created over two years ago.

What Is A Desire Statement?

As I discussed, a DESIRE STATEMENT is nothing more than a clear description of how we’d like our lives to unfold. I posted up my desire statement as it related to my business affairs, an area I thought needed working on back then.

Re-reading our old Desire Statement, I am now a witness to the simple evaluation of whether or not things have been panning out like I had envisioned. In some areas my visions have manifested in profound fashion, in other areas, progress is slower.

Most interesting, however, hasn’t been analyzing whether or not my intentions are manifesting. Instead, what has provided me with tremendous insight are the words I chose back then to describe an ideal life. As a result, it is now more apparent than ever to me to always be conscious of the words I choose to speak when I am describing my life experience.

The Word is Mightier Than the Fist

I found that the wording of my old DESIRE STATEMENT, which you can view by clicking here, was a bit convoluted.

An example:

“I’m in the process of attracting and allowing all that I need to do, know, and have, to attract and allow my ideal business life to manifest.”

Try eating a saltine and saying that a few times!

What exactly am I envisioning here?  No wonder the universe is having trouble delivering my vision.  My vision is convoluted!  In the above statement I seem to be asking to be in the “process” of something.  Who wants to be in the process of something?  Screw process!  I want to live in the manifested present.

Realizing my lack of energetic clarity, I updated my Desire Statement here simply to read:

I am allowing my ideal business life to manifest.

Which statement do you think is easier to focus on?

Or this:

“I love knowing I make money in my sleep.”

I think I originally wrote this in order to feel excited and in a field of love as I contemplated my intentions.  But why not assume that all creation occurs in a field of unlimited love and focus instead upon the message.  How about just saying:

“I make money in my sleep, enough to live a dream life for my family and me.”

With the understanding that the words we choose to describe both our present experiences and our future intentions are as vital and necessary, if not more important, than the actions we take physically to manifest our desires. Words are powerful because they shape our visions and then guide our actions. They are also useful tools that we can use to compare our dreams to reality.

Anyway, it was a fun exercise to learn where I can improve in the selection of powerful words that will help to literally change my life experience in a more efficient and expedient manner.

My Updated Desire Statement: My Ideal Business Life

I am allowing my ideal business life to manifest. I make money in my sleep, enough to live a dream life for my family and me. I am my own boss, working creatively and passionately in all fields of endeavor.  I do exciting and inspiring work in a beautiful, spacious workspace.  I occasionally travel to interesting or exciting places on business.  I create my own schedule.  My business is healthy and sustainable to the natural environment, my family, and myself. I am grateful that my company supports my lifestyle and provides plenty of opportunity to attain life-work balance, including time to vacation all over the world. My family is set for life; I help others experience abundance.  My work is smooth, supporting, sustainable, and best of all: I get paid handsomely to do what I love!!
