Where Will You Be Five Years from Today
Have you ever wondered where you will be five years from today? It may be time to decide what is next in your life and create a strategy to get it. If you have dreamt about something you want in life but have not taken action to make it happen, it will just remain a dream. If you write your dream down on paper, it then becomes a goal and you can make your dream come true.
Did you know that people who write their dreams down transforming them into real life goals earn nine times more over their lifetime than people who just continue to dream. Did you know that 80% of Americans say they don’t have goals and of the 16%, who do, only 4% write them down and less than 1% actually reviews their goals on a regular basis? If you have a dream, write it down, commit to what you want for your life, and start to create a strategy to get it. Albert Einstein said “Your imagination is the preview to life’s coming attractions”.
As you dream use your imagination, allow all of your senses to take you to the place you want to go. Visualize achieving your goals, experience the joy and happiness you will feel, where will you be, who will surround you, how will it look, feel, smell. Be specific and clearly describe the details of your dream. The clearer and more vivid you can describe your dream the easier it will be to achieve.
Life is about balance, so as you dream and start to write all the details down on paper make sure you have balance within your lifetime goals. Over the next five years, ensure that your goals involve balancing as many spokes on the wheel of life as possible. As your life evolves, pay attention to and seek balance in family, relationships, career, health, adventure, education, financial, spiritual, and charitable areas of life.
Dream big and stay positive. Remember anything is possible. Dreaming big can feel intimidating so break it down into bite-sized pieces. (A friend once told me she could only eat cauliflower one small bite at a time. It took awhile but she achiever her goal). Chunk it down! Surround yourself with people who believe in you. Don’t allow others to discourage you or tell you who you are. Create a list of all the reason why your dream is possible and will come true.
Life is happening now so don’t get stuck in the someday dream. Someday may never arrive and every day counts. Do the math and figure out where you are in your life’s journey. Multiple your age by 365 (that is your current age in days) subtract that number from 27,375 (the average life span) and see how many days you have left. Now are you ready to dream big and create the strategy to get to where you want to be in five years!!
