- Step 1 - Wake up
- Step 2 - Starting Point
- Step 3 - Destination
That is a quick overview of the first three steps to the Prosperity Cycle. I previously covered the first two. In my opinion, you are either on the Prosperity Cycle or on the Poverty Cycle. Remember this is no different than planning a trip and following a road map. First you locate where you are on the map then you find your destination.
If you are awake and you have identified your realistic starting point, now it is time to identify or select your goal. At this point it does not matter if your goal seems outrageous or out of reach - no judgement at this point, ok? Steps 4 and 5 are designed to tighten your goal and let you know how realistic it is.
Try to be as specific as possible. In other words, "I want to be rich" is analogous to saying, "I want to go south" or "I want to go far". 'South' is not a destination and 'far' is not an endpoint. Neither is 'rich' or 'secure'. You need to have clearly defined goals that you can measure and tell whether or not you have achieved them.
Do you believe that human intention can actually alter reality. Having a clearly defined goal is imperative and indispensable for success. The vast majority of experimental and theoretical physicists even believe now that when a decision is made, such as deciding on a financial goal, the entire universe splits and a new universe is born. What is fascinating and practical to know is that this new world you create with your consciously planned intentions may have different laws and rules. What seems impossible in your current reality may be a given in the new reality. Here's the coolest part: it takes just a tiny, tiny shift in perception to create a huge result. What you focus on expands and what you take your attention off of wilts. If you think about it, you may be able to relate this to your own personal experience.
You can start right now, today, by creating or changing your destination. Pin it down. It is your life. You will no longer be waiting passively for someone or something else to decide where you are going, where your endpoint will be. You will be relieved, I promise.
DON'T LEAVE YOURSELF NAKED TO THE POVERTY CYCLE!!

I've got a comment for WMATA: Stop being dumb about your GTFS data. When developers create applications using that data, it helps you increase your ridership...there is no need to scare developers away. A good application like Google Maps will do a hell of a lot more for your ridership than your print maps.

You made some excellent points. You are indeed correction in that everyone needs a destination. The problem with so many organizations is they dont really have any idea where they are headed.

I think 'strategy' was the right word. But I reacted to it in the wrong way for which I apologize.
