Lets see where that takes us…
The reason I’m doing this post is I had finished mowing my parents yard today and thought “I’m going to hire someone one day to do this” lol I love being outside but yard work with broken (not proper working) tools makes you have these thoughts…lol
So I got to thinking about what people (myself included) do not realize about reaching our true success and happiness. Most of us when thinking about starting something big like a business, a new career change or whatever it is, think about where we are now more than where we will be… So I say…
Take a Journey to the Future!
Its kind of like the whole “Ghost of Christmas Future” or (just call me)”Ghost of Success Future” . In order to make the adjustments needed for us to reach the level of success we want we must first understand what it is that we truly want. Some people may want more than others and that’s perfectly fine. You may want a small farmhouse on a couple acres and just want to enjoy the peace. Others may want a $4million beach house on the coast of California or Florida.
Take the next few minutes to think about what you want…
Create Your Dream
Lets start with the basics…
- What does your significant other look like? (If your married or already in a relationship did your spouse add weight/lose weight are they 100% physically fit …Think about this(this is your dream so make sure its exactly how you want your future to be!) oh and by the way marrying the right person is 99% of the battle towards being happy or completely miserable!!!
- If you already have kids what do they look like? Did you have more? If you don’t have kids now are you going to have some or not? what do they look like. How tall are they? Do they have an accent when they talk? Freckles? Birthmarks? Were working on your family right now so this is where most of your time when you focus on the future needs to be!!!!
- Now, The rest of the story…I mean family lol my bad…..How are your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews??? What do they look like? How do they act? Do you keep in contact with all of them?
Take a while to work this all together…If you want get a small single subject notebook and write all this down and go into details for all of this!
Now for the other stuff and I’m going to try to hit the topics without writing a book…..
Your Dream House
- Where Is It?
- What color is it?
- How many bedrooms?
- How are they each decorated?
- and the same with the bathrooms? all marble flooring or ceramic tile? Traditional showers or one of those mist things?
Your Dream Car
- Year/Make/Model/Color/Attributes???
Remember when going through all of this get into the details!!!!
Get your entire future down on paper! Take 30 minutes one day and sit down… Read through everything and then lay down and close your eyes…Imagine your there in the future and FEEL IT!!! You may enjoy this so beware some people who have gone through this exercise have spent hours wide awake but “Day Dreaming” about what there future will be… when you do it right its like you have a crystal ball and your looking in on what your life will be like!!
Once you have experienced the “Future” which is your dream you know the end progress… now all you have to do is work backwords from there! What steps did you take to get there?
Don’t start where you are!!!
Look at where you want to be and then make the necessary steps to get there!!!!
