A 40-Day TriPartnership
Would you be willing for 40 Days to enter a TriPartnership with two other people that could assist you move toward your Heart's Desire? Which is for 40 days you are willing to commit to a personal contact each day (in person or by telephone, e-mail is not personal enough) with two other people of your choosing (limit your partnership to three). We suggest that these two people be those that you are willing and able to be open and honest with. Helping each other set up the following three goals and become each other's coach, sharing what on or off the mission path. Once each of you has written your three goals and committed to living them for the next 40 days let the fun begin.
This 40-Day TriPartnership is as follows:1. State a Long-term goal or your Heart's Desire – That which is, important to you. This may be your Mission in life as you see it, a relationship, a way of life in one area or any important goal that you would love to realize, experience. Ask your Higher Power to remind you just what your Heart's Desire is, He has, He will whisper in your heart what it is. Who is the person living or not that is your hero, mentor or role model for you? Write your Long-term goal, Heart's Desire - List your role models:
2. Intermediate goals = What will it take for you to realize your Long-term goal? What are the spiritual, mental, physical, emotional and social equivalents or skills you would have to receive, build or develop? List those which enable you to realize your Long-term goal, Heart’s Desire:
3. Short-term goals = What can you do here, now, that contribute to the building or receiving your Interme-diate goals? What skills enable you to realize your Long-term goal, Heart's Desire,(most likely your Higher Power's Will for you)? On the other hand, what did you do or not do contrary to your Intermediate or long-term goals? I remind you, as long as you do not linger on what was contrary, no harm done. When those negatives come up you need to own them as part of your personal "reality". Next discredit them, taking back the power you gave them, Next surrender that negative stuff to your Higher Power, to heal or transform into an asset. Then focus on one of your goals. If you cannot or will not stop thinking, feeling the negative stuff, you may choose to use one of A.A.'s greatest tools - get out of yourself by helping someone else. See what you can do to help another person. Don't tell them about your problems but focus on helping that person find a solution or acceptance. Action is the magic word. Each day write out your plan of action:
These three goals, Long-term, intermediate and the here and now goals are what you are to share with your two partners for 40 days. Helping one another stay on the path or to get back on it. Your Long-term goal, Heart's Desire will draw you toward it as you focus on it. Your Intermediate goals will enable you con-sciously and consistently to realize your Heart's Desire. Most important our decisions and actions here, now make it all possible. If we fail, we can choose once again to get back on the path and when we have a little success, we can choose to increase what works.
