PART 2
MAKE A DIFFERENCE (M.A.D.)
So, you now have your Life List. Although it will have anywhere between 5 and 7 entries on it, at the moment you are only going to
work on the top entry - This is your Key Target.
This is the one area that is causing you the most unhappiness in your life right now. In this part of the process, you are going to look
at what actions COULD be taken to address this issue, and then refine them into what actions SHOULD be taken and then finally
identify what actions you WILL be taking.
This sounds daunting, I know, but the process is made up of small steps so that, while there may be some soul-searching that you will
need to do, you will not be overwhelmed and you will understand why these actions are the right thing to do. Plus there are some
worked examples later on the website (in Part 6) to help you through this process. (You will find that once you have addressed your
Key Target, the other entries on your Life List will need to be reviewed before being addressed.) So…Are you ready?.....
STEP 1.
Make a list of all possible actions you could take to address the issue in your Key Target. These must include anything you can think
of, no matter how unusual or outrageous they may seem at the moment. As many as you can think of. For each possible action you
need to ask two questions:
- If I start to take this action, do I truly believe I will see it through?
- If I complete this action, do I truly believe it will address the issue in my Key Target?
If either of the answers is “No”, then cross this action off your list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2.
You should now be left with a number of possible actions to which you have said “yes you will see it though” and “yes it will
address the issue in your Key Target”. (NOTE: If you have no possible actions left, then either:
- You haven’t thought of all possibilities (in which case, start at STEP 1 of this part (Part 2) again) or
- You have created a Key Target that is outside of your ability to influence (in which case start at STEP 1
of Part 1 again) or
- You haven’t truly committed yourself to making a change at all (in which case, this booklet is not for you
and I wish you well)).
This list of possible actions is your Action List - doing these actions will "Make A Difference" to your life. Your Action List will form the
starting point for Part 3 of this guidance.
