Hi Steve,

It was interesting to see how you went through different iterations of your financial goal until you found the one that fit right for you.

I went through a similar process of writing out my goal and then "checking in" with my unconscious to see if the goal fit.

Not only did I check the dollar amount of my financial goal, I also asked my unconscious to come up with the best date to achieve that goal. Originally, I had set a financial goal for December 2009. After a few iterations of writing out my goal and coming back to it every morning, my unconscious came back with a target to meet that goal by August, 2009.

I was a little surprised, but the new target date felt like the right one for me - and I think that's the key. The goal is the right one when it feels like it's the right one; and the only way to have it feel right is when the unconscious and conscious minds are aligned to that goal.
