I Think It Would Be Fun To…

Our lives are rooted in our vision.

And, our vision is — or, at least, it likely should be — rooted in our desires.

Our deepest, richest, most compelling desires.

Right within our desires, is our life.

But, not just any life: a rich, abundant life that aligns with our deepest needs and yearnings.

Sometimes, though, there’s a problem: we aren’t quite sure what our desires are.

Or, for that matter, what are deepest, richest, and most compelling desires are.

A variety of reasons exist for this. But, one of the most notable reasons may be the fact that we take the act of considering our desires, and clarifying them, far too seriously.

Rather than doing so, we can, quite simply, make a list of things that sound really, really fun.

And, with that in mind, let’s dive into this simple, but effective, process!

I Think It Would Be Fun To…

Right now, within this moment, finish the sentence above.

Your answer can be anything. Just let yourself finish the sentence and, if you can, record your answer.

And, then, if you can, do it again.

Just five more times…or more, if you want.

Right after you do so, you will have a collection of desires.

A collection of desires that you can bring to life.

Some of these desires may not be very important to you. But, some of these desires may be very important to you.

No matter what, these desires serve as a starting point.

You can expand on the collection you’ve created by coming up with more things that you think it would be fun to do or enjoy or experience or create; and so on and so forth.

Right after you do so, you can go over each desire.

And, you can take a moment to imagine that these desires are a fact of your life.

Or, you can simply write them down and, then, allow them to arise, in their time.

You can do anything you wish to do.

Other Prompts To Work With

A variety of other prompts allow you to find your desires with remarkable ease.

Some of my personal favorite prompts are as follows:

• I would really like to…
• I am really interested in…
• I would really enjoy…
• I am super curious about…
• I would love to…

You can use these prompts to discover a wealth of desires you may not have been aware of.

Conclusion

To live the life you truly wish to live, you must first know what that life looks like.

Clarifying your desires is the first step to living the life you truly wish to live.

My hope is that the prompts outlined within this essay allow you to live that life.

No matter what, though, thank you so much for reading this essay!
