Choose a True Goal
The first step in the Magnetic Mind Method is choosing a True Goal—one that is genuinely aligned with what you would love, not what you've been conditioned to want.
Most people don't actually have True Goals. They have conditioned responses, reactions to circumstances, or watered-down versions of their real dreams. This is why they stay stuck, frustrated, and unfulfilled despite their best efforts.
"You can't plant seeds of scarcity and expect to get trees of abundance." — Christopher M Duncan
Journal Prompt: Reflect on Your Current Goals
Take a moment to write freely. What goals are you currently pursuing? Are they truly what YOU want, or what you think you should want?
The 4 Pillars You Need to Know
Before we dive into True Choices, understand that there are 4 Pillars that form the foundation of conscious creation:
Pillar 1: True Choices - Know what you truly desire
Pillar 2: Unconscious Egoic Agenda - Understand how what you have in your life is a direct reflection of your unconscious conditioning
Pillar 3: Resistance - What it is and how to remove it with ease
Pillar 4: Take Aligned Action - Our behaviour is the highest form of communication
"The action you take, is the highest form of communication." — Breah Kettunen
The 7 Focus Points That Keep You From a True Choice
Most people aren't making True Choices. They're stuck in one of these 7 Focus Points that keep them from ever creating what they actually want:
1. Resolve a Negative Belief Your goal and action is about completing a way you feel incomplete. You're trying to prove something to yourself or others, rather than creating from genuine desire.
Example: "I need to make a million dollars to prove I'm not a failure."
2. Reaction Your goal is actually a desire to get away from an unwanted circumstance or condition. You're running FROM something, not moving TOWARD something you love.
Example: "I want to lose weight because I hate how I look."
3. Limitation Your goal is actually focused on what you think is possible for you, not what you would really love. You have edited your dream to fit your current beliefs about yourself.
Example: "I guess I'd be happy with just a small business, even though I dream of a global impact."
4. Others' Opinions Your goal is designed to ensure others are happy. You're people-pleasing rather than pursuing your authentic desires.
Example: "I should become a doctor because my parents expect it."
5. Control Here your goals must show up in the exact way you want them. You are not open to the end result showing up differently (or better) than you imagined.
Example: "The only way I'll be successful is if THIS specific plan works out exactly as I planned."
6. Indirectness Your goals are the vehicles you have created to get you somewhere else. You are taking the long route instead of going directly for what you want.
Example: "If I get this degree, then I can get this job, then I can save money, then I can do what I really want..."
7. Default This person doesn't really have goals and thinks what they have is 'enough'. They've given up on dreaming and settled for mediocrity.
Example: "This is fine. I shouldn't want more. Who am I to dream big?"
Journal Prompt: Identify Your Focus Point
Which of these 7 Focus Points resonates most with where you've been stuck? Write about a specific goal you've had that fell into one of these categories.
Making a True Choice
A True Choice is:
- Based on what you would LOVE, not what you think you can have
- Independent of circumstances
- Not a reaction to something you don't want
- Free from the need to prove anything
- Aligned with your deepest values and authentic self
- Open to HOW it shows up
"When you make a True Choice, you align with your true nature and purpose. You become the predominant creative force in your life." — Breah Kettunen
The Clarity Exercise
Ask yourself these questions and be completely honest:
- If no one would ever judge you, what would you create with your life?
- What would you pursue if you knew—with absolute certainty—that you couldn't fail?
- What dream have you edited down because you didn't think it was possible?
- What are you pursuing because someone else wants it for you?
- What are you avoiding that you actually deeply desire?
