Finding your "perfect verb" is the first milestone.
You'll find it lurking somewhere, just below the surface
of your talents. As you stare at the list, something
beckons you. Something is taking shape; something feels
good in your body, and it feels right. Let your
subconscious help you.
From your notes, find a group of people that you care
about or are drawn to—your intended beneficiary. The
more specific the group, the better.
Armed with your perfect verb and a good idea of your
beneficiary, glance around your notes for words that
jump out at you and those that just don‘t feel right. Your
subconscious is watching all this and will give you a
sense of what's right, even if it‘s something you want to
consciously dismiss.
You will absolutely know when you’re getting close
because you‘ll feel it. Don‘t worry about how you‘ll feel;
just know it will be obvious. You‘ll feel an overwhelming
sense of relief. Some people offer resistance at this point
because they think it's too obvious, but it wasn't obvious
