Happiness Actions: How to Get What You Want

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is a scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where it looks like Indy cannot cross an impossible chasm. When he stepped out in faith, the invisible bridge revealed itself to be camouflaged. He decided to cross the bridge without knowing HOW he was going across because his intention was set.

I jumped off a cliff and started my company, Nation Training and Development, full-time, a few years ago. It was going to be in-person seminars about how to improve productivity and peace of mind in the workplace and home. I did not know exactly HOW I was going to do that. But I did decide on the WHAT.

An interruption of those in-person plans happened because of COVID-19, but a cool thing happened. Because of the in-person seminars already presented, students came forward asking me to coach them in their businesses. Now I do one-on-one and team coaching and will have courses online.

Indiana Jones and I set the WHAT and then figured out the HOW. Your intention (decision) causes your subconscious mind to find a way when you don’t even realize it.

Until next time, here are your Happiness Actions:

  1. Make a brainstorming list of ten goals you want to accomplish without the worry of HOW.
  2. Choose one professional goal and one personal goal from that list.
  3. Go to www.ProductivityNation.com for your guide to help you set your intentions and get your goals using the SMART system.
