What Would You Want if a Genie Granted You One Wish?
What do you want? This is one of the most profound questions you can ask yourself. The answer could either be very meaningful or very trivial. It’s really up to you to decide.
It’s almost like imagining a genie granting you one wish. On one extreme you could wish for something trivial like getting your favorite food at your favorite restaurant or getting your dream car or house. On the other extreme you could wish for something like ending poverty or finding a cure for cancer. Chances are your wish will be somewhere in between. In any case, I’m sure you won’t give it much thought when it’s all fun and games imagining a genie in a fantasy land.
But what if you took this question seriously? What if you committed a few hours a week for the next 9 weeks to answer this question by doing a thorough examination of your strengths, personality, and mindset? I bet you would come up with something deeply meaningful that would change the trajectory of your life.
I’m no genie, but I do know that if you use your strengths, personality, and mindset as the foundation for identifying and pursuing what you want out of life, nothing can stop you but you. You may or may not be able to find a cure for cancer for example. However, if you’re truly passionate about a cause like that, nothing can stop you from breaking new ground and pushing the cause forward.
This is what it’s like when you have a calling and a purpose. You become your own genie. You won’t be able to grant your wish overnight, but with the right plan your wish can still come true. If you’re willing to explore this possibility, I urge you to consider my coaching program.
