Where Do You See Yourself in The Next Five Years?

Picture Source

I’m an avid reader of books about success, positive thinking, etc. In many of these books, they stress the invaluable importance of not only thinking about and writing down your goals, but also taking the time to truly visualize every single detail you want in your life – every detail to color of the curtains you want on your dream home to the values, character and morals you desire in the love of your life.

I once read, that “You are what you think the most.”

Have you ever noticed that top executives, entrepreneurs and the like always talk about the things they love, their accomplishments and the new things they plan on doing? They also are notorious for helping others through mentoring, being charitable and giving time to those who they love and admire.

On the other hand, the opposite can be true of people who tend to fall short of the dreams they sometimes speak about or have unfortunately completely forgotten about. I’ve noticed that these people tend to spend more time complaining about what they don’t have, other people, or their current aches and pains.

The law of attractions basically state that whatever you think about the most manifests in your life. Do you see why these two groups of people accomplish such dramatically different things now? Those who speak about their dreams and goals continue to take actions that reinforce their dreams. Those that speak otherwise keep adding people and situations in their lives that draw them away from those forgotten dreams.

With this knowledge in hand, which category do you honestly fall into?

Now…………. What are you going to do about it?

If you fall into the first category, you’ve probably already accomplished many of your goals. However, there are most certainly always new things you still wish you could improve or add to your life? Maybe five years from now you dream of finishing a second degree, or finishing a novel series, or learning a new language? Or, maybe you’d like to get married, start saving for your children’s college fund or learn more about wise investment choices?

Start setting your five year goals right now.

Without a map, it would be close to impossible to find a destination. But with a set plan and well-detailed goals every step you take will bring you that much closer to your destination.

Picture a start line in front of you and a finish line in the distance.

Even if you took baby steps, every step you take is one step closer to your dreams. Just keep stepping forward and you’ll eventually reach the finish line.

It’s up to you how quickly you want to reach it the finish line.

And, it’s up to you whether you stay on a fixed path toward this goal adding people and things in your life that will keep you on track or allow others to distract you and pull you away from your dreams and goals. Choose the first category of people to associate yourself with and you’ll be the happier and wiser for it.

Now……………. Take the time right now, to picture what you’ll find at the end of your finish line.

You can and ARE making all your dreams come true.
