What do You Want – Really? Part 4: Turning Your Goals into Realities – #2 Embodiment
#2: EMBODIMENT
Why? Because… Turning goals into realities is more than wishful thinking; It is an unwavering mental picture of your desire with expectation for the results in form.
BELIEVE IT. KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN. WITHOUT DOUBT.
Embodiment means to live as if you have already achieved your goal – to know that it is already manifested even though you might not yet see the results, but that you know, without doubt, that it is already yours to claim when the timing is right. It means, the ‘now’ is NOW!
#1 Visualization in Part 3 is about mentally seeing the act of completion. Embodying means we move forward with the actions by allowing the messages to flow through us according to God’s will, to even consider the steps to take to accomplish the goal, knowing that God is really in control of the how, when, what it finally looks like, etc. What is vital is to listen to what our Divine Intuition is telling/guiding us to do, then to have the faith to follow through on those urgings. The reason we must believe we’ve received it before we see it is that if we didn’t ‘know, without doubt’ the goal would happen, then we wouldn’t spend treasurable life-moments working on it. See how it all fits together?
Exercise: How might you embody your goal? Write several possibilities, because the more depth in your thought process and the more passion in your desire for fulfillment, then the more real it becomes in your mind, which then transforms into reality through Divine Partnership. Remember, this isn’t about hoping and wishing, but knowing without doubt, in co-creation with your Creator.
True story of transforming from wants, to goals, to realities:
A true success story about Jess, the Reluctant Villain, who changed his life, and set goals by visualizing and embodying his determination to change from his unwanted burden of a Narcissistic Sociopath personality, to one where he could life a normal, loving life with a wife and children and his career.
As you read on the home page, there are 15 million people diagnosed with this personality in the US alone – that is one in 20. They harm many millions more. If you want more information, go to the home page about this personality and the traits. It has been visited by over 178 countries, and recently there were over 1400 hits in one day by people looking for answers. Doctors claim they cannot be cured because they don’t want to change. Wrong!
Truth! With God ALL things are possible! God is the secret in all of life, no matter the issue or situation.
The following is a portion of an ongoing dialogue I had with Jess, the Reluctant Villain, who claimed he was a nar-soc, as he calls it. For more than five months, we had pages of back and forth conversation.
IN THE BEGINNING, he was certain he could never be changed – he didn’t want to change, didn’t see the need to change. He felt no emotion of any kind and yet he manipulated people in destructive ways – not physically (his boundary), but emotionally. And yet, he seemed to be searching for something, for answers, wanting to know why he was like that, because he asked lots of questions. No matter the encouragement I sent him on what his life could be like, to connect with his True Inner Power, at the end, he seemed to harden even more and refuse to shift, as if it was hopeless.
At the point where I decided there was no more point to continuing our discussion, a miracle happened.
Jess sent an email. I’ve compiled several into one.
Jess said,
“I had a moment that i cant explain, i went to the park, i walked the path ive walked many times, never once have i thought about the path, but as i walked it hit me like a lightning bolt, that this isnt me, but at the same time it is, and i can control who i am. when i got to my car, i looked around the park, tears started to come down, and a smile came to my face as i thought about it all, the tears weren’t because i felt bad, but because i saw for even the slightest second of what i could be instead.
i believe it’s true that I can be a better person, i WILL be a better person, Im going later this week to get a Semicolon tattoo so that every time i look at my forearm, im reminded that this isnt where my story ended, its where it began…i will take it 1 day at a time.
i cant change the pain i caused her (his latest ex-target), and I said i was honestly sorry to her this morning, she may not believe me and i understand that, but for me.. that was step 1 step 2 is to not concentrate on my mistakes, but to start my story from here, Chapter 1.
So last night i went and got that tattoo, and i gotta say every time i turn my wrist i see it and its a nice reminder that “This is where my Story begins” thats what was in my head all day, my work day flew by, wasnt constantly thinking the thoughts i normally do, normally im just concerned with what others think of what im doing so i can keep my stock up so to speak, but instead i just did what i needed to do to get my work done, not once caring what others thought of me like normal, i hope its something i can keep up, its a unique feeling to say the least.
I have always had very very violent dreams, and i always remember every dream, (but) last night i had a dream, and for the first time i dont remember it, but it made me wake up with a smile before falling back asleep, might mean nothing, just not something im used to is all.
Everything needs to be put behind me, i WILL make mistakes in the future, but it will be what i do after i make them that i am going to change, What i felt at that park was the first bit of emotion ive felt, it didnt last a whole long time, maybe 2 mins, but i want to feel that again, and i know i will.” ~ Jess
Does this man have a goal? Is the Divine working in and through him to bring about this miracle? Did you note the key words to success?
“I believe. I know I will.” He believes. He knows it will happen. Without doubt.
He even got a tattoo as a constant reminder to himself. The man whose life was hell, and made others’ lives hell, and who had no hope for changing, now believes he can and will change. And the change is already happening. He has decided to take it one day at time. Does he know the how? No, but he trusts, for the first time in his physical existence, that there is a better life for him and he’s going after it with all he has – focus, purpose, intention.
The reason I’ve inserted this life story here is because if Jeff’s life can change (when experts claim otherwise), then yours can too. Yours will.
Believe. Know it will happen. Without doubt.

***REMEMBER: You do not have to know the HOW, only the WHAT. The Divine takes care of the how. Listen to the urgings of your heart, the passions; those are God-seeds planted there for you to use and develop for your happiness and joy. In fact, the Divine is with you through everything – the entire process – as a co-creator of which goals are best for you, your belief in and trust that the goals are already yours, along with the Divine Implementer carrying out the how to a successful result – thought into form, cause into effect.

What do You Want – Really? Part 3: Turning Your Goals into Realities – #1 Visualization
Did you finalize your list of goals? Great! Congratulations! That is a huge step into turning your goals into realities because if you don’t know what you want, you’ll not achieve them.
#1: VISUALIZATION
Why? Because…
Turning goals into realities is more than wishful thinking;
It is an unwavering mental picture of your desire with expectation for the results in form.
BELIEVE IT. KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN. WITHOUT DOUBT.
The secret! None of the realities will happen without… FAITH. Turn everything over to your Source, to God, to the Divine that not only knows what is best for you, but the how, why, what and when.

Transforming your goals into Reality:
- Pick your top-priority, most-important goal to focus on first. Once you’ve chosen…
Either on your computer or paper, write down the goal you want to visualize and embody. Put several exclamation points behind it. Draw several underlines beneath it. Point arrows to it. Put hearts and stars and smiley faces around it. Surround it with your love. This goal is priority. Ultra important. Maybe the most important decision you are making at this point in your life. Give your goal the respect it deserves. Give it your all. That means don’t be wishy washy with it. Be committed. Connected to the Sacred Life Force. Unshakable from any outside illusory force. Your power is within. Focus on this one thing. Do you feel the power when you are that committed? When you do that, the world steps up and supports you.
Visualize
- Visualize means to co-create with the Divine a mental image – you can mentally see it, taste it, touch it, feel it, sense it – even be excited about it! This involves emotion, passion, desire. Lukewarm imaging equals lukewarm, if any, results. Really feel it deep down with a passion. Strong imaging transforms into strong results.
An example would be to express your goal symbolically in a painting. Another is to insert your goals onto a Faith Wheel. A third could be to list out a menu, knowing that what you order will be brought to you. What other ways of visualizing are meaningful to you?
For me, I put it on a Faith Wheel that ways, Thank You God/Jesus, My Source for….and list the goal and the resulting reality. I see the project as already completed, trusting in God for the timing, the how, and the final actualization. When I do that, I feel the excitement. I’m there.
This is the prayer I say:
Thank You, God, for turning this (goal), into a reality greater than I even imagined, all according to your will.
- Write down your image/s? There might be several.
How do you feel about those images? Secure? Positive? Foolish? Uncertain? Doubtful? Fearful? Or determined. Confident. Without doubt. Powerful.
- Do you feel the Divine is a co-partner in the process, and that you’ve opened up to and surrendered to Divine Will? If not, then how might you accomplish that vital connection?

HELPFUL GOETHE QUOTES:
“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe“The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.”
― Johann Wolfgang von GoetheAt the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.
“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back– Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” Goethe
