5 Steps for Staying on Track—
No Matter What

In today’s pressure-filled world, staying on track with what matters most to you is more important than ever. Using what I call “central choice” will always take you in the direction of what you MOST want to accomplish and be.

1. Central choice is the expression of your innermost yearning. This subtle yearning is ever-present and found deep within your chest.

2. Recognize your deep yearning for any of the following: love, clarity, or joy; happiness, equanimity, or peace; inspiration, unity, or "God." This yearning is a reflection of your True Self (also known as Heart, Soul, Buddha nature, etc.).

3. Central choice is your deep yearning put into words. Use short sentences beginning with "I want" or "I choose.” "I want to love." "I choose to be clear." I want to know God within." “I want to be free.” The simplicity of this phrasing is part of its transformative power.

4. Speak and/or write you central choices throughout the day. Over time, your words will be “spoken”—not from your mind and mouth—but THROUGH your awakening Heart Presence.

(If you cannot hear, sense, or recognize this yearning within you—choose to find it: “I choose to find my central choice.”)

5. When your deep yearning and central choice are awake, you know your direction. All other life choices become a reflection of what’s central to you and your life naturally evolves to a more and more fulfilled state.
