Imaging for a moment your life five years from now. How do you see yourself? What does your life look like? Is anything different, or does your life look like more of the same? What kind of pictures go through your mind as you project yourself into the future? What stories do you tell yourself about the future you?
It can be disconcerting to project yourself into the future like that. There is a lot of trepidation and uncertainly because the future is unknown. The Native Americans call the unknown future the Great Mystery. And they are bang- on. The future is a mystery and it can be great! The only thing about the future that you can know for sure, is that it is derived from what you dream, hope, and imagine.
The future comes to us in the images we develop in our minds, or the ones we create from the conversations we have. This is why goal planning is so important. More and more companies today are providing the tools and strategies for their employees to set and achieve individual goals within a corporate culture.
When you set specific goals for yourself, create an action plan and discuss them with your manager, supervisor, spouse, life coach, parents or mentor, you are consciously co-creating your future image.
The picture you hold in your mind about the future you dream of will guide and inspire you. They influence your present actions and decisions. Just like a flower grows toward the sunlight, people grow and change in the direction of their brightest light. A light that is reflected by the images they hold about their future self.
The power to create the future you desire comes from within. When you access this infinite power, nothing is beyond your reach!
