Martha Alderson's video: Step 3 - Turn Your Goals Into Reality

STEP 3: Inner Goal Now that you’ve jotted your outer goal on your Universal Story Planner, time to add an inner goal. As wonderful as it is to hold a tangible piece of art that you created in your hands, the even greater gift lies in the inner changes and transformation you go through on your way to success. Inner goals address internal issues to live your best creative life. Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in relationship to the goal you’re adopting for your Universal Story Planner. Close your eyes and imagine your actions and feelings as you live your best creative life. These visions point to inner aspects you strive for while simultaneously moving toward your creative goals. Choose a shadow trait or habit most likely to trip you up as you pursue the external goal you’re committed to. Then determine a strength or strengths you embody that have the power to override your weaknesses. Integrate the two in a positive and present tense affirmation. Write that under the Universal Story Planner line. This is where you’ll track your inner life as you complete the action steps you’ll create in STEP 4 for above the line.
