You’re in the middle of a perfect meal at your favorite restaurant when the waiter stops by your table to check in.  “Don’t forget to save room for dessert,” he chides.

It’s a standard up-sell technique in the food service industry:  Remind the customer that there’s more good stuff to come—before they even know they’re hungry for it.  But it’s also a key concept in our heartspark practices.

What happens when you allow your imaginings to reach beyond expected and logical outcomes to new possibilities and perspectives?  What happens when you embrace the best case scenario—and then ask what could be even better than that?

What “More” Looks Like

Here are some of the things that saving room for more has brought into the lives of past heartspark clients:

• One participant came into heartspark with a goal of patenting one of his inventions.  But he saved room for more than just one patent, and now he has an entire business built around his many patented ideas.
• Another felt ambivalent about a job that offered needed flexibility but didn’t fit her interests. A few months into heartspark, her boss redesigned her position to focus on the creative work she enjoyed while maintaining her flexible schedule.
• A 40-something single woman told her heartspark group that she longed for a child.  She now has a son—and with him, she has also met the love of her life.
• A would-be author set a goal of finishing a book.  Just finishing, he said, would accomplish a dream.  But he saved room for more—and “more” turned out to include multiple publishers vying for the manuscript.

 Take some time this month to consider what you want, and then push yourself to ask what “more” might mean for you in that context.  Dream big.  And once you’ve got your dream in mind, give the universe a wink and a smile—and dream bigger.
