If you want to steer yourself in any direction, the most powerful tool is the pen. It's based on this principle:

I have a friend that manages a team of programmers, and whenever he really wants to have things done he says, "put it in writing." Any task, "write it down, send me an email." Anything he wants done, "I make a list."

Create a document on your desktop. Call it "scratch-paper.txt." Then start typing things you want in your life. What you will find is that magically, in a style similar to The Secret, things will naturally fall into place.

Thinking or saying your goals is so ephemeral. Writing them down makes them stick. The page never forgets what is written on it.

The act may seem symbolic, but I find that what I write down invisibly controls me. Even if I don't refer back to my writing, it's hovering somewhere beyond the edge of my consciousness. Sometimes, the only way for me to stop is to actually delete the text or throw the paper away. That's how powerful it is.

Likewise, there's a dark side to the power of writing. Make sure what you write is meaningful. If you write down all sorts of random promises, you may find yourself being torn in different directions.
