Make Shit Happen
Make Shit Happen: Your Step-by-Step Guide First! Find a safe place to record your thoughts, feelings, goals and actions. Then answer the following questions.
What do your favorite stories and characters make you want desperately in your own life? Be sure to take this question beyond the surface-- for example, if you wish that the Doctor would come take you away in his Tardis, you're most likely looking for freedom, adventure and/or companionship in your life.
Now, how can you rephrase this desire into a positive goal? Keeping with the example above, let's say your goal is to find a best friend.
Next, visualize your end goal in detail (because you don't want just anyone as a best friend!). Perhaps you are looking for someone who loves Dr. Who. Someone loyal and kind, who can challenge you to be a better person.
Then think about all of the different things you could do to find this person. Brainstorm! Maybe you could join a local sci-fi group or attend a convention. Or maybe you'd like to hang out at a comic book store or Barnes & Noble. Get creative!
Make Shit Happen continued.. Now take your favorite ideas from your brainstorm session and organize them into steps.
Second! Great job! Now it's time to jump in and take action, starting with the first item on your list. As you start tackling each step you created for your goal, be sure to first break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks.
Celebrate each step and sub-step that you complete! You're one step closer to your goal!
Keep a record of your progress and make changes to your plan as necessary.
Third! Have fun and celebrate along the way! You are doing exactly what's necessary to start making shit happen in your life. You. Are. Awesome!
