Secret #1: Create Inner Pathways of Power: Clarity, Passion and Focus
Do you know what you want? Really? Often when we set intentions, goals or New Year’s resolutions we believe that we are clear on what it is we want and we may be to a certain extent. However there may be deeper aspects of ourselves in need of consideration if we are to be truly successful when creating change in our lives.
An issue that often erodes our best efforts regarding change is a lack of clarity concerning our goal. We need to be really clear about just what it is that we are trying to accomplish. It is important to make sure the goal is our goal and not someone else’s. We must also be certain that our goal truly reflects our deep inner experience that we seek.
Here are some questions to help you begin to gain clarity:
- What whispers to your heart?
- When you listen deeply what do you hear?
- Do you listen deeply?
Do you pay attention to your inner life, your longings, desires and dissatisfactions or do you careen through life running to catch up or perhaps running to outdistance the voices that keep threatening to burst through your busy mind and life through the carefully or not so carefully constructed guise that you believe is you?
As we grow and develop as human beings it is very common to adopt the beliefs, perspective and aspirations of important people as we our lives and not even realize that they are not ours. At some point in life, if we are to be truly happy, we must identify what is really important and authentic for us in our ways of being and expression in the world.
Step 1: Ask Yourself …
What are the goals that best reflect what is most important to you?
What changes would facilitate your authentic expression in the world?
What is the underlying feeling that you would gain if this became your reality?
This feeling that you would like to have in your life is the key to your passion.
Step 2: Recognize Your Passion …
Imagine your goal.
Let yourself feel it as if it is real and present now.
Notice how your body feels.
Observe what happens in your mind.
When your goal is really yours and it is aligned with your deepest values, it is a vehicle for expressing your genuine self. All of your positive desires, the ones that come from the highest place within you, are vehicles for expression of that aspect of your nature.
When a goal is aligned with your deepest nature, you will notice a sense of peace in your mind and your body will feel relaxed, open and buoyant. In this state your energy flows freely and your passion rises and becomes a powerful source of creative inspiration and momentum.
Step 3: Focus your Attention …
Make a plan for daily focus. Include:
Action items that contribute to your goal.
Time each day visualizing your goal already accomplished.
Feel gratitude for your goal being already achieved several times each day.
Notice what is going well. Congratulate yourself for the small steps.
Focus becomes easier when you are clear about your goals and your passion is aligned with them. Focus naturally requires cultivation. This is where the conscious mind is useful in forming new patterns.

Secret #2: Dissolve Hidden Obstacles to Change
The root of hidden obstacles to change is mistaken beliefs.
Beliefs about ourselves, life, relationships, time, money, love, creativity and spirituality originate from many sources and are:
- accepted as truth
- usually formed early in life and tend to be unconscious
- create feelings and thoughts that reinforce the original belief.
If these beliefs are ones of strength, confidence, optimism and hope, then they may serve us well. However many of us have beliefs that do not serve us well. The result is a vicious cycle that may include inner turmoil, conflict and unhappiness. Through becoming aware of mistaken beliefs and their associated difficulties we can free ourselves from a lot of stress, improve our health and develop greater happiness, peace and fulfillment.
We form a large portion of our core beliefs early in life before we have a capacity for discernment. Throughout our lives events happen, we are impacted by them, and naturally have thoughts and feelings as a result. These thoughts and feelings coalesce into beliefs. We register these mind sets, often out of full conscious awareness, they then go on automatic and influence our lives. We remain unaware usually until some pressure is brought to bear in an important area of our lives and we are called upon to explore our inner world.
Step 1: Become Aware of your Beliefs
Pay attention to the chatter of your mind. You may find that there is a lot going on that is be at odds with what you truly would like to have or believe about yourself and the world. Radical self honesty is not easy but it is freeing in the long run. Begin noticing what is going on in your mind and jot down some notes in a journal.
Some common mistaken beliefs that are often underneath negative self talk:
| I’m not acceptable ; I’m not lovable; I don’t deserve to be loved; I’m not wanted; I can’t find my place in the world;; Nothing ever works for me; Life is a struggle; I will never succeed; I can’t express myself; Nobody understands me; It’s not safe to trust; I am betrayed by life; I am insignificant; I’m not capable; There’s no hope for me; I don’t deserve to love; I am stupid; I cannot be myself; I am weak and have no defenses; I struggle to live; Life is painful; I deserve to be deprived; I deserve to be abandoned; I am not good enough |
Step 2: Become Aware of Your Patterns In Relationships
Another difficulty we have with mistaken beliefs is problem patterns in relationships. These develop in childhood. We all learn methods to gain approval, love, support, attention, or recognition. These dynamics are a means of getting or giving energy. A classic example is that of a child triggering negative attention. If parents are not able to give love in a positive way, a child instinctually finds the means to get the attention (energy) to flow his/her way.
This creates negative patterns within the relationship as well as within the individual. These patterns become generalized and get transferred to other relationships. A person may have intellectual knowledge about their dysfunctional family but not really understand how their patterns of filling emotional needs has become a default program that operates automatically, especially when under stress.
View your life as a movie. See yourself as a young child. What beliefs do you think that child formed about:
- getting attention
- receiving love
- gaining approval
- having support
- obtaining recognition
Step 3: Dissolve Your Beliefs Where They Live
