If you say yes, I ask you to imagine yourself on your deathbed three days from now. I come to visit you and as I stand by your bed I ask you “Was your life a complete success?”

You say, “yes” or you say “no“.

If you say no, what are the reasons that your life wasn’t a complete success? Take the time now to write them down. Don’t let yourself wriggle out of doing it right now. Take out a piece of paper and write them down, beginning with most important one.

You can start it out like this:

The main reason my life was not a total success is because I didn’t__________________. You can continue on to the other reasons like this: My life was not a complete success because I didn’t_______________.

Write down 5 reasons your life wasn’t a success.

Now turn these statements into your wishes:

“For my life to have been a total success, I wish I’d ___________.

And I wish I’d______________________.

I also wish I’d _____________________.

and _____________________________.

and_____________________________.

If I’d done or experienced these things, I’d consider my life a total success.”

As you work with this question, and your own answers, and gently hold your wishes in your mind, you will find the Universe responds and brings you epiphanies and aha’s and breakthroughs. You’ll discover what’s really important to you.

By combining this question with your mind, body, and spirit expanding LoveLaunch Program you’ll be stirring into activity that spirit of divinity that thrives on your powerful feelings, your enthusiasm, your commitment to being yourself – your best self.
