The world tells you to think far, far, FAR off into the future. To make five, ten and twenty-year plans. To even plan out your funeral and what will be said about you.
For some people, there is value in doing the above. But for the grand majority of people, these ideas don’t work out too well.
Constantly thinking about where you want to be five or more years from now doesn’t bode well for those who are prone to anxiousness, worry and gloominess – or to those who are not the same person this year as they were a few years ago. People can and do change. Deciding on what you will be, do or have in five years presumes you’ll be thinking the same way in the future as you are now.
I always enjoyed the way Dr. Wayne Dyer handled the question, “Where do you want to be five years from now?”
“Five years from now?” he exclaimed. “I’m having enough trouble with today.”
The truth is that the second you begin to focus on today goals, you reclaim your power and rid your mind of negative emotions.
What do you want to accomplish today? What do you want to bring into being? Can you visualize it, imagine it, feel it?
Believe me, if you create one thing each day, or accomplish one key task each day, and do this for 365 straight days, over a five-year period, you will appear to others as the type of person who “takes massive action,” but you are not doing anything of the sort. What you are doing is implementing a consistent, simplified, streamlined and systemized daily approach that works.
See it. Feel it. Be it.
