The future is where you will spend the rest of your life. Do
you wish to be in control of your future so that you get from
it what you want and deserve? Is your answer yes? If it is, you
must grasp this fact: it is highly unlikely that you will get
what you want from the future unless you know what it is
that you want. Before reading another word, close the book
and take at least five minutes to consider what kind of future
you want for yourself.
The more specific you are as to what you want to own, what
experiences you would like to enjoy, what accomplishments
you wish to achieve, what career and/or occupational goals
you have, the more valuable this imaging activity is. As you
discover each element, item, or aspect of your desired future,
write it down. Do that now.
