Not knowing what you want to do with your life is no joke. It's painful to be without direction. My first book, Wishcraft: How To Get What You Really Want, defines winning as getting what you want, and it shows step-by-step how to become a winner, how to create a life that fulfills your greatest dreams. But for years readers have been calling me, saying 'I love Wishcraft, but I can't use it because I can't find a goal. I just don't know what I want.'I got curious. I wanted to know what the problem was, so I started meeting with these people who couldn't figure out what they wanted. I let them all tell their stories, and I asked some questions, and in a short time, every time, the same thing emerged: each of these clients was locked in an internal battle and didn't even know it.It had never occurred to them that down deep they really knew what they wanted but their desires were masked by an inner conflict. Knowing the problem came as a great surprise -- and a great relief. Now all we had to do was design a program to get around each conflict -- and designing these programs turned out to be surprisingly easy. People woke up and swung into action after only one or two sessions!This was wonderful. I decided to gather these discoveries and strategies into a book so everyone who needed help could find it. You are now holding that book.Are you having trouble going after what you want in life because you can't figure out what it is! I want you to know that you are not alone. Your problem is a common one and there is a way out. You're going to find yourself in these pages. And almost as soon as you recognize yourself, you'll be learning techniques that can help you. Don't be surprised if you find yourself in more than one chapter. Read them all. Most of us are complicated creatures with many sides, and the exercise that could create a breakthrough for you might be in any chapter.Working your way through this book is going to be exciting, enlightening, sometimes a bit painful, and often very funny. Learning what's really going on inside you can be difficult, but it's also invigorating, and the rewards are enormous.You can do anything if you only know what it is. And you're about to find out.
