I had coffee with my friends yesterday and it was a sweet pause to my upended work week. As we shared our life updates, one of my friends stopped to ask me, “So you’re doing so many wonderful things right now. But let’s get crystal clear here. What is it that you really want?" She procured a notecard from the barista while my other friend rummaged in her purse for a pen. And then we made a list. It was labeled, 1 and 2 and 3. That’s it. I had to boil it down to three main desires. I was quick with the first two. They were obvious off the bat. But the last slot took some mulling by all of us. They helped me tease out my core intentions, and we finalized the third and final item on the list. I took a picture of the notecard before my friend folded it and instructed me to put it in the inner pocket of my purse. “Keep it with you. Pull it out whenever you can. Remember these three things. The rest is noise.” She was so right. I read it once when I got home. I read it again before bed. It was like she said, crystal clear. I slept better than I have in weeks last night. And when I woke up today, I pulled out the card once more. I’m focused now. And my hope for you? Make your own list and carry it with you. Set your sights on what you TRULY want...and then go for it.
