Was up very late (early) last evening because I couldn't sleep. My body was tired, my muscles are aching, but I was awake - fully awake in my mind. The reason? I was dreaming! No, not sleep-walking or rem-stage - my brain had taken ahold of the future that I envision for myself, and it simply would not let go. Was I mad or upset that I couldn't sleep? Not even a little!
I have to tell you, "seeing" your future in your mind's eye is a powerful thing. Great achievers in history and today - from all over the globe - agree; picturing your dreams is a key component to everything you ever hope to achieve in your life - I believe it is the key in everything you do. Think about it, when spring comes around here in NE - what do you do when you look at your yard - do you see it as it is or do you picture it as you want it to be? When you interact with your children, do you picture the effect that your words will have on them now and in the future? The great achievers in life do this - regularly!
I dare you - identify where your are at in your life - really take a hard cold look at your life; are you where you pictured yourself; as a child, as a young adult, as you figured you would be by this time in your life?
Write it out - what do you really want your days to look like? Picture it - see yourself attaining it - let a community of people help you - it beats going it alone and spending sleepless nights because you have lost sight of your dreams!
Live Well - Be Well!
