my goal

I want to be happy with myself and truly enjoy every single activity I do in the course of a day - for the sheer pleasure of that activity - and to know that I am 'enough' just as I am.  The time frame is to begin practicing this right now and every time I think of it - to do it.

June 17 - mini WANT meeting

This past Saturday morning Barb, Troy and I (Gina) had a mini WANT club meeting - and a great one it was! It was born of the boring - business focused meeting we had earlier this week. I think the most interesting part is that if we had had a mission statement - a real concrete purpose in place - we wouldn't have had the boring, business focused meeting in the first place! "Now we know one more way it doesn't work" (Thomas Edison said that!) So here are some ideas we came up with:

1) When anyone of us has any need to connect to the club we need to know that we have access to each other.
Suggestion! At least 3 people be involved in a'mini meeting' at any time between official club meetings.
Question! Do we assign different 'mini groups' on a rotating basis - say monthly to insure that we don't get stuck in a comfort zone with the same people and get the benefit of the diversity of the brains of the group, or do we leave it to the individual who they want to include in the mini meeting based on the nature of the topic and who's available?
Question! Do we ask that the members post the results of their 'mini meeting' on our blog so we all stay on the same page?

2) Business items - let's assign these (ex: mission statement, planning the retreats, obtaining a grant) to subgroups who will present their results ot the group in a 15 or 20 minute presentation in a regular club meeting. At the end of that time - if the plan hasn't been ratified by the group it will be resubmitted to the subcommittee for further tweeking and re-presentation at a future regular club meeting. [The remainder of the regular meetings will be focused upon our fulfilling our mission - helping each other get what we want.]

3) We also found that we feel the need to live in our dreams right now - to make our 'wants' and integral part of who we are on a daily basis. Not just a grocery list laying on the kitchen counter.
Suggestion! We say them out loud, journal them, and being excited about them [...as excited as we will be when we have them].

4) We also found that as our 'wants' begin to manifest we find that we need to be more and more specific (Barb has an example at work and I have one for my personal life). We have also found that a general want tends to lead to a deeper, more specific and more meaningful want. Kind of like peeling an onion - only not so stinky! :-)

We'd like your thoughts and ideas on these Tuesday night - does everyone want to do that? Thanks for taking the time -

love, G

Core Values

I was doing some research today and came across this quote..............."To get what you really want, you have to be who you truly are" - Michael Angier
Fairness / Honesty: Being true to yourself and the group. Have the ability to listen to others and to be heard as well. Take the time to understand each other and provide honest support, ideas, and wisdom.
Determination: Once you put your mind to a task, get it on paper, discuss it outloud with yourself and the team, and make the decision to go forward - do not stop until that goal has been achieved. If for some reason help is needed realize you have a strong support group in which to help you attain that dream.
Friendship: The friends (and family) have helped mold you into the unique individual you are today. Friendship of the W.A.N.T. members will always offer their support to the other team members, and value the relationships with respect, understanding, and love.
Doug H.

Core Values

Responsibility:we will be held accountable for our actions. We are exactly who we are today because of the choices we have made in our lives. Others cannot positively or negatively influence us unless we allow it.
Think Outside the Box: we will not allow conventional wisdom to restrict what we desire. Aspirations without borders.
Humility/Gratitude: we are grateful for all of the good fortune in our lives. From our personal relationships to the lifestyle we live to professional endeavors and the freedom to pursue our dreams.

More core values . . .

I gave much thought to the three core values to name here.  As Gina predicted, it is amazing how much they actually coincide with many comments already listed:

1.  Honesty:  We will always be honest in our words as well as our actions and expect the same from others.

2.  Joy/Optimism/Gratitude:  We will recognize our many "blessings" and the thankful for them.  We will find joy in each day and will be positive and optimistic about our journey.

3.  Acceptance/Respect:  We will accept, and even revel in, our many differences and will respect the feelings, needs and desires of others.

 

Looking forward to Tuesday!

mission stmt. ideas

I really appreciate all of the work that everyone has put into this. Thank you so much. I've drawn some similarities from many of the ideas that we have submitted and I'll point those out on our call. Cool to see that we are all on the same page! Also, I know that it's important to include our values in this powerful statement. I saw, 'happiness', 'prosperity', 'gratitude' in some of the statements. I believe that our core values announce to the world our code of conduct. Let's touch on those this evening. Thanks again, Love, Gina

Mission Statement

Greetings all! Fantastic work on the website Troy, it is coming along nicely.

Took a nice long ride on my motorcycle to clear my thoughts on saturday to come up with some ideas for the Mission Statement........................not a Mission Statement writer in real life, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night but,

Our Mission: To be the catalyst for helping our members achieve their personal and profession w.a.n.t.s through support, determination, perserverance.

See you all tonight!

Mission Statement con't.

You all have provided great wisdom and I agree with the statements so far.  I particularly love the motto - by our thoughts we attract.  Lets consider including something in our mission statement about assisting each other within the membership as well as assisting those outside of our membership who may be in need of our wisdom and inspiration (i.e., giving back).

 

Looking forward to Monday evening!

Mission Statement idea for WANT

Hi all,

 

I like Troy’s MS and have added a couple of ideas:

 

To enrich the lives of our members by collaboratively helping each other to get exactly what we want for the highest good of all concerned.

 

I like as a motto: “By our thoughts we attract; by our actions we manifest.”

Important for us (and by us, I mean me) to remember that the Source (put your choice of word(s) here: God, the Infinite Intelligence, the Creative Mind, whatever) can only do for us what it does through us, ergo, actions are an essential part of the equation.

 

Looking forward to our meeting tomorrow night!

 

Thanks to Troy and Stephanie and all who had a part in creating our terrific website.  

Also, I agree with Barb, cool to be in on this at the ground floor!
