@ Jeremy – While I totally appreciate what you’re saying, it tells me that you’re not looking far enough out … I think you’re dealing with goals and not destinations. This is not a criticism and is totally understandable because you are a 25 y.o. high flyer [pun intended!]

Next week’s penultimate exercise will challenge you -and all the other young’uns out there – and, combined with tomorrow’s exercise, will give you a new 35,000 feet perspective …. I promise!

Thanks again for getting the wheels in my head turning…It is funny as I look at what I have written down, even only at 25, I already have most of my top goals accomplished (like being financially secure and having the time and ability to help others) whereas the few I havent accomplished yet are the ones I rank at the bottom (like being completely financially independant) and one of which is quite frankly very superficial (being successful/respected/admired among my peers) …interesting exercise…

@ Lee – Thanks for sharing … I see some DO’s that are BIGGER than money, ‘things’, and this site/experiment … those are the things you should be looking for: the more meaningful things to you/others that will still be there after this site, money and/or ‘other stuff’ are long forgotten …

Alright I’ve been giving some more thought to how I can “dig deeper” as AJC asked into what I “DO Want” from this 7 million 7 year experience. To have my life in order in a fashion that makes sense means to no longer be controlled by money but to control it. To have what I want when I want and how I want. My desire is to specifically help public safety personnel deal with stress in their life by creating a retreat setting with instruction or coaching. But I want to provide that help at little or no cost to them.
The comment about fulfillment means to be a spiritual leader who can point to my obedience to God as the way that I was able to become debt free. But also show people some specific things “I DID” to get there.
Finally I want to sleep at night because I know that the principles of being part of the 7million 7 years are principles that really work and that my life has changed because I refused to procrastinate any longer.

@ Diane – Understanding the 10 Questions + Your Don’t Wants helps you to understand your DO wants … and, it’s the DO wants that is really the start of this Very Special Process …

… your DO’s are unlikely to be ‘things’ like cars, houses, etc. (or the money to buy them with) … rather they will be things that bring lasting [insert good emotions of choice].

@ Lee – what will give you fulfillment? Dig deeper inot each statement that you made, if you can … the thinking that you do now will provide dividends [ pun intended ] very soon …

What I “DO” want is to have my life in order in such a fashion that everything makes sense. I want to be able to help others “when” I want to just “because” I want to. I desire to live a life where I experience fulfillment regardless of the direction I turn.
Most of all I would rather “be” that “do”. I’m looking forward to learning how to be by changing what I do.
