THE JOURNEY

The journey toward the best version of yourself – The Choice – Article 1

From desire to direction: where do you want to start?

You made a wish.

Perhaps it has to do with a relationship, a new professional milestone, greater peace of mind, the desire to get to know yourself better, or the desire to build more stability and prosperity.

Expressing a wish is important because it allows you to recognize that there is a gap between what you are experiencing and what you would like to experience.

But as long as a desire remains vague, it doesn’t yet tell you where to start.

To turn it into the starting point of a journey, three steps are required:


The path points to the area. Desire points the way.

This area helps us understand where desire lies.

Direction, on the other hand, stems from what you want to build, experiment with, or transform within that area.
Two people may choose the same path, but have very different desires.

For example, in the area of Love, one person might wish to find a genuine relationship;
another might want to regain trust after a disappointment;
yet another might feel the need to communicate more openly in the relationships they already have.

The area is the same, but the direction changes.

That’s why it’s not enough to simply choose Love, Career, Chakras, Knowledge, Prosperity, Health, Holism, or the Zodiac.
You need to listen to the question related to that area.

Love

What kind of relationship do you want to have?

Don’t just think about the presence of another person.
Ask yourself what emotions, values, and types of relationships you’d like to experience:
trust, respect, reciprocity, openness, or sharing.

Career

What goal do you want to achieve?

Chakra

What kind of balance do you want to promote?

Try to identify where you feel the most scattered or tense, and what kind of balance you’d like to cultivate in your daily life.

Knowledge

What do you want to understand?

What do you want to grow?

Abundance isn’t just about money.
It can include opportunities, time, relationships, creativity, security, and the chance to achieve what truly matters to you.

You may be seeking greater financial peace of mind, new professional opportunities, stability, or a more balanced relationship with the resources you have.

Health

How do you want to take care of yourself?

What kind of harmony are you looking for?

You may be seeking greater harmony between your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and daily choices. Harmony doesn’t require perfection: it comes from listening to yourself and seeking your own personal balance.

Zodiac

What part of yourself do you want to get to know?


From a general wish to a specific wish

Try to notice the difference between these two sentences:

The first sentence identifies a theme. The second begins to point in a certain direction.

Making a wish more specific doesn’t mean controlling every detail of the future.
It means understanding what that desire represents in your life.

You can help yourself by completing this sentence:

I want to __________ because I want to live _________.

For example:


Choosing a word of intent

After identifying the area and clarifying your goal, choose a word that sums up the direction.

The “intention word” does not replace the wish, and it is not a quality chosen at random.

It’s a simple, personal reminder: it helps you remember what you want to cultivate as you move forward on your journey.

If you want to take on a new challenge, the key word might be courage.

If you want to live with greater peace of mind, it might be calm.

If you want to better understand a situation, it might be clarity.

If you want to build a more peaceful relationship with abundance, it could be trust, openness, stability, or prosperity.


Other possible words are:

There is no single word that is right for everyone. There is, however, a word that, at this moment, best represents the direction you’re heading in.


The exercise for the first stage

Take a piece of paper and answer these three questions honestly:

1. Which area would you like to start with?

Choose from Love, Career, Chakras, Knowledge, Prosperity, Health, Holism, and the Zodiac.

2. What do you really want to experience, achieve, or change?

Write a specific sentence. Don’t think about what you should want, but about what you truly feel is important to you.

3. Which word represents the direction you choose today?

Reread what you wrote and choose just one word.

That word will be the starting point of your journey.


A small choice can open up a new direction

Choosing a word doesn’t mean you’ve already found all the answers.

It means deciding where to start.

In the coming stages, this direction will become increasingly concrete:
we’ll explore your starting point, the person you want to become, and the actions that can support that choice over time.

But today, there’s only one step to take.

Choose your word.
