So let's start with the question…What do you

it.

answers don’t come quickly…Why?

come from questions.

on your phone.

What Would Your Best Life Look
Like?
I love the exercise of describing your best life in
detail.
What would your perfect day look like. Break
down the details.
Think about what life would be like 5, 10, 20 years
from now.
Visualization is the key to manifesting in your
life.
(Questions to get you thinking)
-
What will you have accomplished
already?
-
How will you feel about yourself?
-
What kind of people are in your life? How do you feel
about them?
-
What does your ideal day look like?
-
Where are you? Where do you live? Think specifics,
what city, state, or country, type of community, house or an
apartment, style and atmosphere.
-
What would you be doing?
-
Are you with another person, a group of people, or are
you by yourself?
-
How are you dressed?
-
What’s your state of mind? Happy or sad? Contented or
frustrated?
-
What does your physical body look like? How do you
feel about that?
-
Does your best life make you smile and make your heart
sing? If it doesn’t, dig deeper, dream bigger.
Take some time to sit down and write, reflect,
and dedicate time to this exercise.
You are worth it, but you only deserve it if you are
willing to work at it.
I’m sure many of you have read or heard of the
book Think and Grow Rich.
One of the best selling books of all time. 100M
copies sold over 80 years.
Whether you’ve read the book or not, it might help you
to remember that the title is…
THINK and Grow rich….meaning….thinking is a
requirement of success and happiness.
Don’t wait for your future to be created.
Take responsibility and create your
vision.
It’s never too late to start living the life you were
meant to life
But, you must start by taking time to create and
visualize the life you want to live.
