What will you be doing in the next five years? Some people can’t see past today, but that’s no excuse. Use your imagination to create your future and see it through into reality.
This is what vision is all about. The power of thought can enhance your vision. You know you can do anything you want to do, right? Don’t be afraid to think it and see it in your mind. No matter how bad things are now, you have the ability to change it. In the age of the internet, anything is possible.
Visualize what you want to be, how much money you want to carry in your pocket, the city you’ll live in, the type of work you’ll be doing, and anything else you can imagine. Get rid of those self-limiting beliefs that you have and believe in yourself. Be that person who crushes that negative voice in your head and develop a way to make your goals happen. There’s no one stopping you.
You can meditate on your vision. You can make a vision board. If you can think, you can have a vision. Everyone gets to come up with their very own story of their life. All you have to do is follow through and live it. It may be full of twists and turns, but no one’s dream is a straight line, fulfilled in a day. Live that adventure and see where it takes you.
Be detailed with your vision and see how it will eventually play out. “I want to be a lawyer,” is a good start. After you take some time to really visualize it, it should sound something like this: “I want to be the number one real estate lawyer in the city of Wayne, Nebraska, driving a blue motorcycle, living in a condo with a balcony, and a doggie park within 2 miles, even though I don’t own a dog…” The more detailed, the more adventurous you can create your life to be. That’s vision!
So don’t be hesitant, just because it sounds ‘crazy’ to invent your own life in your mind. You have to see it, before you can be it. Some things may happen by chance, but for the rest of the time, visualize what you want and do whatever it takes to get there.
