The Phrase that Resolves Conflicts
and Manifests Dreams:
"What Do U Want?"
Ever learn something that changed your life and then forgot it, only to rediscover it again at just the right moment? That's what happened for me recently. I had to remember to ask WDUW: What Do U Want?
It was graduation party week for my son and tension was building. (Hey, we're human!) We had a rough spat the evening that my Miraculous Manifestations group met. I was torn about whether to go talk to him (focus on the problem) or go meet with the group (focus on joy). I decided to sit down with the group for a few minutes to get them started on the agenda they all knew by heart.
I stayed seated the entire meeting.
By the time we were finished sharing gratitudes, listening to a motivational CD and writing down and pretending to already have our dreams, I was in a completely different frame of mind. I "saw" my son and I apologizing, and surely enough, after the group left, he came up and gave me a big hug.
But that wasn't all. One woman reconciled with her boyfriend that evening and another came to peace with a huge life decision she'd been wrestling with. A new member said, "This was great. I'll be back!"
What works all these miracles is simply focusing on what we want rather than what we don't want.
It's so simple, and you've heard me talk about it a dozen times: When You Feel Good, Good Things Happen, and focusing on what you want always feels good. So, let me give you four applications for using this powerful WDUW phrase every day:
1) The next time someone criticizes you, rather than get defensive, simply ask them, "What do u want?"
2) The next time you feel insecure or anxious about something, ask yourself, "What do u want?" and start thinking and talking about that.
3) The next time someone walks up and starts talking about a subject you'd rather not talk about ("the problem") just remark, "What D.U.W. (pronounced DO) you know!" That will help you refrain from engaging them in further conversation about it.
4)Thanks to Abraham-Hicks for this gem: The next time someone asks you about an area of your life that's rocky right now, respond with something like, "I really don't want to talk about that right now, but I do want to talk about how healthy I'm feeling and the weight I've lost!"
Then, after using any of this mental floss, for good measure, do a Gratitude Stream: "Boy am I glad I can remember to focus on what I want"..."I am so grateful for the incredible life I'm manifesting with every good feeling thought"... "I'm so glad that everything that's happened up until now has no bearing on what's going to happen next, because only my thoughts and feelings right now will decide that!" etc.
Friends, I do want to let each of you know that this new book of mine (see below) is really all of ours. You have inspired me with your questions, buoyed me with your encouragement, and made my mortgage payment while I was writing by having me speak to your organizations!
When I first read Mike Dooley's foreward (below), I wept. It has been 10 years in the making, but all 300+ pages of my 8 to Great: The Powerful Process for Positive Change will be here "bound" for glory July 1st. Know that I live in gratitude every day for all of you being a part of my dream. Let us know how we can help you live yours!

Manifests
Dreams!
When
Jeff
Hofeldt
was
encouraged
by
his
principal to
attend
a
training
called
"8
to
Great,"
he
was
not
enthusiastic.
"But
I
knew
I
needed
the
professional
growth
points,
so I
went."
"I had quit coaching and was considering quitting teaching because I was frustrated that I couldn't seem to help kids overcome the biggest obstacles in their lives."
Two days into the training, everything had changed.
Thanks to Principal Kent Mann and the power of the 8 High-Ways, today Jeff Hofeldt is head basketball coach at that same school - Grand Island Sr. High, and has seen a huge shift in the tone of his classroom. "Thanks to my incorporating 8 to Great concepts once a week we've moved to more cooperative learning and the kids now know that I'm on their side."
Jeff's perspective on life changed so dramatically that he felt a need to share it with other schools.
Thanks to a call from Jeff, Central City, Norfolk, Hastings St. Cecelia, Adam-Central, Norfolk, Sioux City North, Pierce, Columbus Lakeview, Grand Island Northwest, and half a dozen other schools will be implementing 8 to Great in the fall.
Perhaps most exciting is where Jeff is speaking these days. As Jeff says: "A sporting event is an 8 to Great review in an hour."
After
presenting
at
sports banquets this
spring,
this July
Jeff
will
join
me
in
presenting
to
the
NCA Conference
-
Nebraska
Coaches
Assoc
Conference.
Coach Hofeldt adds,
"not only has it made me more effective in the classroom, I also feel I'm a better parent, coach and husband."
Congratulations, Jeff! We are so proud to have you on the 8 to Great Team!

Mike Dooley's Foreword for MK's new book: 8 to Great
MK Mueller's 8 to Great is a powerful book from cover to cover, revealing the greatest secrets to thriving within time and space that have ever been shared.
It's lessons are made easy, taught in plain English by the kind of teacher we need. Someone real. Someone who's learned by trial and error. Someone skilled at telling stories with a message and humor. She's turned ancient wisdom into modern day tools, and above all, she's remained authentic; conceiving of and framing each of the 8 High-Ways in one of the most original presentations I've ever read.
I'm often asked what's going to rock the world, psychologically, next. And the answer is that people are going to be discovering the truth about their absolute power and absolute responsibility for living their lives consciously and deliberately. The concepts of victimhood, failure, luck, and blame are about to be swept into extinction like the philosophical dinosaurs they are.
We're now at the dawn of a new era; spiritual giants waking from a deep slumber, during which we reacted to the world around us instead of molding it. People will soon be realizing for the first time in recorded history that we are all capable of living as richly and happily as we can imagine, and that nothing can rob us of our power to conceive of, believe in, and achieve whatever our heart desires (using MK's C-B-A Formula). Whether this next wave of enlightenment will be sparked by a single book or a collection, I'm not sure, but I do know that 8 to Great will be part of it.
