We have learned that a Personal Aspiration needs to be yours, it needs to be something that is for you, by you, and read aloud often for you. We have learned that it could be a commercial, a mission statement, a set of goals, a list of things that you like about yourself, that you want to change, and objectives of where you want your life to go. I like to keep mine on another 3×5 card and keep that in my pocket along with my goals for the day. It helps me to stay better focused.
So how about some examples?
A personal commercial:
“Tom Staley, meet Tom Staley – an important, a really important person. Tom, you’re a big thinker, so thing big. Think big about Everything. You’ve got plenty of ability to do a first-class job, so do a first-class job.
Tom you believe in Happiness, Progress, and Prosperity.
So: talk only Happiness,
talk only progress,
talk only prosperity.
You have lots of drive, Tom, lots of drive.
So put that drive to work. Nothing can stop you, Tom, nothing.
Tom, you’re enthusiastic. Let you enthusiasm show through.
You look good, Tom, and you feel good. Stay that way.
Tom Staley, you were a great fellow yesterday, and you’re going to be an even greater fellow today. Now go to it, Tom. Go forward.”
A personal mission statement:
“I am a dynamic, energetic, positive leader. I live my life knowing that all good things will come to me as a result of my positive actions and thoughts. Money rains down upon me. Money comes to me effortlessly. I coach, mentor, and teach in a positive and effective manner always. Relationships are the backbone of my life and I welcome them. I keep in touch with old friends, and find new ones all the time. I am positive and magnetic. I am learning, growing and getting better every day in every way.”
A personal list
| Aspiration Type | Sample Item |
| Personal Growth | I will have insight into why I do the things I do. |
| Affiliation | I will have a committed, intimate relationship. |
| Community Feeling | I will help the world become a better place. |
| Financial Success | I will have many expensive possessions. |
| Image | I will achieve the “look” I’ve been after. |
| Popularity | I will be admired by many people. |
There really is no one way to make a personal aspiration statement. It simply needs to work for you.
So what are the steps? It is pretty simple really and we have included a Worksheet at the end of the article along with the entire Professor Prosperity’s Academy: Your Mind articles in PDF form
- Make a list of 5 things you like about yourself. They can be anything, your looks, your intelligence, your leadership, your ability to persuade people, whatever, just make a list
- Make a list of 5 things that you would like to change about yourself, or that you want to become. Again it can be anything, feel younger, look more fit, read more, be more caring, be more positive.
- Make a list of 5 things that you want for yourself. Be very specific or you wont get them. Don’t worry about being too outlandish, think big, act big, get what you want. You can never get what you want if you don’t tell people exactly what it is.
- Make a list of 5 things that you want to do daily. Again be specific, for example 10 minutes of reading, 30 minutes of exercise, 15 minutes of meditation.
Now with this list decide what you want to make. Do you want to make a commercial, a Personal Aspiration Statement, or a Mantra.
If you want a mantra you are almost done. Choose no more than 10 of these ideas and list them in short sentence form.
If you want a Personal Aspiration Statement choose 10 to 15 of the items and make a list. I personally like to mix them up a little bit so that I am not reading them all together. For example choose one statement from the things you like, then one from the things you wan to be. After that choose a thing you want to do daily, and then something you want. It keeps it interesting and gets your brain to jump around a little bit an not concentrate on any one thing.
If you want a commercial you can use anywhere from 10 to all of them. This can be the most fun, and is the best to record.
Chose the one that fits your personality the best. Again have fun and use it to your advantage. This is your statement and only your statement, it is for you and only you. You can share it but don’t worry about what others have to say about it. Like I tell my students, how successful do you want to be? If you want to be successful then you are going to have to do something different to get that success.
