Mel Abraham says vague wants don't work, but spoken declarations do. When you declare "I will be financially free in five years" out loud and commit publicly, your daily actions align with that goal and you actually move toward it.
Well, I'll put it on the list next year. And we just take our wants and just keep booting them down. You know why? Because wants are soft. The only time I would break a brick or break a board was not when I wanted it, but when I willed it. And what I mean by will is that it is a declaration that you are saying, I will do this. Amen. And when you take your goals and you skinny them down to a list of wills, declarations of how you're going to live, things will change. When you say, I will be financially free in 5 years, I will lose this weight, I will build this business, it's a declaration, but it's scary. Think about it. When you go out and declare to the world or declare to your friends, declare to your family, I will do this. I will. Oh, that means that you have to do everything in congruence and alignment with that. That's what's going to change things.
