Creating a Vision

In “The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity” Catherine Ponder reminds us of the need to visualize your success. The success steps in this process are easy to do, but as Jim Rohn, noted business philosopher reminds us, they are also easy not to do.

Step 1. Be very clear on exactly what it is that you desire to achieve. Know the precise goal to be reached. Know the exact time you intend to reach that goal. Know the tangible sign that you have reached that goal. For instance, if you are seeking a business goal, be precise about the award you will receive, the amount of money you will have earned or the number of sales. Your goal may be to make gross commissions of $10,000 in a single month. Set a specific date by which you will accomplish that goal. Set the time frame short enough to be a stretch for you and just long enough to be possible.

Step 2. How will you feel when you reach that goal? How will your life change by reaching that goal? Unless this is something which lights your soul on fire and really excites you, the goal is not big enough. Your goal should be something you are truly passionate about achieving. If it isn’t much different than the life you are leading now, you will not be motivated to make it happen. Unless you feel passionate about the result, you will remain exactly as you are now.

Step 3. The more clearly you see every detail of that goal accomplishment, the more likely you are to reach it. See it in living color. Visualize every detail of the setting. Hear the sounds. Touch the physical reward; hold it in your hands and feel the texture, the weight and the temperature. Hear the sounds all around you. Smell the scent in the air. Taste the food or beverages of the celebration. When you experience everything fully with all five senses and feel the feelings, you are well on your way to success.

Step 4. Repeat this process daily and more than once a day is encouraged. The more you mentally and emotionally step into the picture and actually live it as if it is happening at that precise moment, the more you bring it into your reality.

Step 5. Create a positive affirmation which you repeat aloud, repeat silently or write out several times every day. This keeps your goal fresh and current in your conscious and subconscious.

Some have even chosen to create a vision board with pictures and words to depict the entire goal and celebration. Any one of these is good but together they are excellent.

This technique has been used with extreme success for centuries. Get clear on what you truly desire. Set a time frame to achieve it. Visualize your success in living color with all five senses. Take the actions to move yourself forward. Know your success is assured.

Have a prosperous day.
