Miracle Question: Solution-Focused Therapy

The Miracle Question is a popular question in Solution-Focused Therapy -- a type of therapy that focuses less on problems and the past and more on solutions and the future. The genius behind this question is that it forces you to stop thinking about why you can't achieve something and allows you to imagine how your life could be if something miraculous occurred. http://www.yourother8hours.com

nice guestion...hm.First thing I would notice is that I woke up early and am well rested and fit.Then I'd see that my boyfriend lies next to me. We live together.Then I would go outside on the terrace and have a view to the beach.After a a few exercises and breakfast.I go to university.The atmosphere and people on campus are supporting and inspiring.Then I go to KungFu practice with my boyfriend and afterwards we have a romantic walk home.At home I continue drawing my comic book and relax^^

@hi5mi What a great day that would be! Do you think this is something you can achieve?

I'll bite. What my day would look like when I woke up after a miracle happened would resemble the following. I would slowly open my eyes to see my wife happily sleeping while glancing out our bedroom window to a vista view of the golden gate. A brief walk down the hill to my office where I spend my day helping folks create efficient processes for conducting a scalable business. A chill relaxed atmosphere surrounds the office and later after my walk home, I enjoy a nice evening with family.

@Beausafk Thanks for biting! I love how specific your miracle is. How close are you to living this now? What would have to happen for you to move one step closer?

What I want differently out of life and my future: I would like to sing for a living. I would also like to get back to school and finish my Bachelor I have about 2 and a half years left. I have been looking for stable work (to save up to go back) for a long time like about 2 years now. I am not an American citizen so I am unable to get loans grants or scholarships from US govt. I would like to obtain my green card so I can enjoy the full benefits(well-almost) of American citizenship.

@RicherLifeTV The closest I am to this goal so far is at least I live in San Francisco :D In order for me to move forward, I would need to build credibility. This can only really happen from investing a bit more time and cash into an MBA, getting into doing consulting for a while in process optimization and building my own practice from there. I'm only 28, so I have time but investing in the right places now would make all the difference.

hmm yeah i think so...

At the moment I am looking for a new university at the ,moving out of my parents house and working to be able to travel a lot and I go to Kung Fu practice nearly 5 times a week.So my days are pretty fulI and I feel like I need much more time (and sleep) in one day to work on my personal projects and skype with my boyfriend(long distance relationship) .

But on the whole I think my average day has potential to become exactly like that (haha,I just realised that :D).
