The 100s List

Many years ago I was introduced a new years practice called the 100s List. The 100s list is a list of 100 desires you want to manifest in your life in the next year.

Though I've gotten away from writing the list, in years past I've taken the time to think through and list 100 things I wanted in my life. Then, I put the list away. At the end of the year, I reviewed the list. I had approximately a 70 percent manifest rate. Without thinking about the list, without trying to manifest anything, or make anything happen, I brought 70 percent of my desires into my life.

The list takes time to write. Days actually. It takes some thought to write down a hundred things you want in your life. The items can be physical things: I want a new navy blue Toyota Camry, or a practice: I want to write for an hour every day. Over time I developed my own way of writing the list. I divided the list into catagories such as: financial, personal growth, relationships, career, etc. The process has evolved to where I had 10 catagories with 10 specifics in each, but you can do it anyway you want. There's no right way to write the list.

The list is yours. You can't manifest anything for anyone else: I want my son to find the love of his life, get married and make me a grandmother. You can't use the list to control other people; it doesn't work. The list is 100 desires you are taking on for your life.

This year I'm writing a list. I've even given it a theme: integrity. I will manifest the quality of integrity in every aspect of my life this year. I will manifest the habit of being my word--when I say something, everyone in my life can count on my word being true. I will manifest financial integrity--to make progress in paying all my debts. And that's as far as I've gotten. Oh, I have some specific steps towards those manifestations, but you get the idea.

I'm looking forward to this time next year when I review this list. I'm looking forward to checking off the things I created for myself.

I invite you to take the time this season to write a 100s list. Not a list of resolutions, but a list of everything you invite into your life. It can't hurt.
