Last week one of my long time dreams came true – I did a voice over for a pilot episode of a web show. I’ve always wanted to do voice overs and last week, that wish was heard and within a matter of hours I went from the phone call – request, “Hey, Julie, we have something for you to do…”
To sitting in studio and recording it to being complete with it in less than three hours.
I used to have a radio show, I am an actor, I am a story teller – it is a given I might want to do voice overs but I often times got caught up in “not knowing how to.”
Can you relate to this?
It was a wish I had rarely uttered AND I had, at one point, said aloud I wanted to do voice overs.
The universe conspired to make that wish come true.
Now it is time for your wishes to come true, especially the wishes you have been holding onto in your heart and want to breathe life into in 2017.
Your wish is why I am creating this series of articles, essays, and a creativity coaching program – so that your heart and mind may be opened to those wishes and invite the universe to become your co-conspirator – your collaborator – to bringing your wish to life.
So a couple caveats:
The wish, your sincerest wish or wishes must be all about you – it can’t be something like “I will have a best seller” unless you intend to buy enough books to make your book a best seller. You may wish to write a book and do your absolute best – the results though aren’t a part of this wish.
You can’t wish your child will suddenly conform to all you want for her.
You may wish to create and live suitable, satisfying strategies to be an incredible family – and the results? For others, you need to let go of those.
So now, a series of questions for you to contemplate, many similar simply asking using slight variations of words as we mine for, seek out and create your word theme for 2017. This particular part of the process should take several days of contemplation and creativity – so please please please take your time with it.
What is your sincerest wish?
What do you genuinely, truthfully, with your all your heart and soul wish for?
Subtract anything that you believe you SHOULD wish for or that OTHERS have told you would be a grand idea, instead… what is YOUR most earnest wish?
If there were no limitations, what would your heart’s greatest desire be?
Consider your relationship with family… with friends… who do you wish to be with these people? How would you most like to show up with them? What qualities do you most value in yourself and which would you like to grow?
Life is an adventure. Your life is an adventure. What is your sincerest wish for 2017?
Your candid, earnest, forthright wish, the one that knows no bounds for 2017. What is your sincerest wish for 2017?
Consider your finances, your health and your spiritual life.
Remember and invite that wish of yours – the genuine heartfelt real serious and seriously playful wish for 2017 - - what might the beginnings of that wish feel like?
What do your most frank honest natural hopes, plans, goals, ambitions look like, sound like, smell like? What do they taste like?
Not your Mom’s wish.
Not your best friend’s wish.
Not your tribe’s wish.
Own your wish. Hold your wish. Express your wish.
Rebirth your wish, your inner and outer life work,
your artistry…. What is your most sincere wish for 2017?
