Hope everyone is well!
Today I wanted to discuss, your future and how to start designing the life you want.
90% of people if asked them what do you want from life, would and do find it hard to answer. Whenever I ask people, " So what do you want from you life?" most often people reply with "I don't know?" or " Urrrm well just more" or my personal favorite, " Well I'll tell you what I don't want"
By not having a clear, picture or idea in your mind of what you want for the future, how can you go out and achieve that?
You can't!
The first step in obtaining the life you want, is to first of all find out WHAT YOU WANT!
If nothing is coming straight to the top of your head, ask your self this question. What excites me? What do i really love doing? It may be music, helping people, racing, creating designs, sports, accounting anythings possible, but just ask yourself what excites me?
If your still not 100% ask your self this, if I only had 1 year left to live what are the 3 things that i would do to A) Earn money, B) enjoy C) benefit others? Now when I say benefit others this doesn't just mean caring for the sick or elderly although if thats what excites you, thats what you should do! I can be providing people with great quality food, or secretarial service or baking the most delicious cakes.
So now you should have a pretty clear idea of what you want to do with your future. If not go back and ask your self the 3 questions from above again and calmly think about them let the questions float around in your mind!
What i want you to do now is very simple. I want you to grab a piece of paper and write down at the top the paper. I have chosen, that my future shall be........... and write down the future you have chosen to live.
Congratulations you have just taken the first step to the rest of your life you have just done what 97% of people never do, you have TAKEN ACTION to bettering your future.
on the rest of the paper I want you to describe in detail how great your future is going to be, you may have chosen to become a entrepreneur in which case describe how great being self employed is going to be and how great your company is going to be and how you going to build a great company to work for. Or your may have chosen to become a social worker, so explain how you are going to change and help the lives of the people you meet, explain in full details how you intend to change peoples lives for the better. You may have decided you want to be a TV presenter in which case describe to the last letter how you will be great to watch, and how you will revolutionize the TV presenter role.
This is your chance to go crazy, think as big as you could ever think and then times it by 100!
In the next post we will be looking at why this exercise aids your mind in making your dreams reality and we will also look into goal setting!
Remember " The sky is not the limit, because there is no limit"
So dream big
