    Using your Authority to Set Your Goals

    ALIGNING GOALS WITH YOUR AUTHORITY ENGAGES THE LUCK OF THE UNIVERSE January is a time of new beginnings, and many of us are in contemplation about how to shape the year ahead. But the statistics on how successful people are at keeping their “resolutions” are grim. We set out with great intentions and even think we are committed to “do what it takes” to accomplish our plans, but more often than not we don’t succeed. I believe this is because we set goals or intentions based on what we THINK we want to accomplish (or what someone else says we should do), never checking with our built-in Authority to see if it…

One half would close their eyes, and we would briefly show the other half a similar drawing but was clearly an old lady with a scarf on her head. Then we would switch and have the other half briefly see a similar line drawing but was clearly a young lady wearing a necklace. We then had the entire group see this picture and…
