Category: Goal Setting
Have you ever truly reflected on your path in life? What you want to achieve and what areas you would like to be successful in?
I'm sure you may have said to yourself a number of times "Gee, it would be nice to live like them, drive a car like that or be famous as they are", but in that context it is often just an emotional reaction to the status of another.
Sometimes you might visualize or have fantasies of a different existence.
Seeing yourself in the house you want or that car you have always coveted. Maybe you can see someone sitting behind the desk as the chief executive of the company, doing the work of the boss and instructing staff as only they would do and that someone, happens to be you.
Maybe it's a holiday with loved ones or a holiday where you meet a loved one?
We all at various times visualize our ideal life. Career, business, wealth and lifestyle even relationships, health and philanthropic pursuits.
Now you need to take a moment to truly reflect on these future visions you have of yourself at various moments and bring them all together. Give each substance and make them tangible.
How do you make a reality out of fantasy?
How can you make these 'dreams come true'?
By writing them down.
You are going to be assigned as your own biographer to write a third person account of your future life. The life that you have always dreamed about, you are about to make it real! (For now at least, real in print).
Next write down a number of categories such as career, business, wealth, creativity, lifestyle, relationships, family, health and philanthropic pursuits etc. and number them in order of importance. What you would like to achieve first or what needs to be done before the next.
Now take a weekend, a week a month or longer to put down on paper exactly how you want your life to pan out. Lock yourself away in a room, go camping in the wilderness, a cabin, the seaside, somewhere in solitude where you can meditate and find the path within yourself.
Assign dates to tasks (specific by month and year) so you have a definite goal to fulfill. Always writing in the third person like such:
"By February 2010, Frank will be successfully running his own graphic design business, he easily negotiates a large contract that he can easily and skillfully deliver in the timeframe of..." or "In October 2009 Sarah takes a holiday to Phuket where she has an instant connection with a man and they spend many hours just getting to know each other..."
Continue to write in this style for each category. Be as detailed as possible, close your eyes and place yourself at that very moment. Feel the emotion, experience the moment then write both what you see and feel.
Writing in this manner can have a number of benefits.
Firstly it can save time. Living an experience out on paper will often tell you if it is worth pursuing.
Secondly, by writing it down you are releasing the thoughts from your subconscious and allowing them to take seed in the conscious.
Another benefit is that it gives you a daily or weekly reminder of your ultimate goals. So when those opportunities in life come along to fulfill your path you are less likely to miss them.
Once you have your future biography written, read it once or twice a week, take actions based upon it, react positively to situations in tune with it and head on your destiny to become Famous By Morning!
