Take a bit of time to quietly relax, and then allow your imagination to wander. Allow
yourself to dream. Encourage yourself, the way you would encourage a child, to play
with different possibilities that could await you in life - if you but dare to dream.
Imagine you’ve been so inspired by the words and exercises in this course - and by
many other things you’ve encountered along the way - that you have created the life of
your dreams. You have become a success in every way you wish.
If money were no object, and you could do, be, and have exactly what you wanted,
what would it be?
Describe your ideal. Let it be as far-fetched as you want - we’ll deal with reality later.
For now, let your imagination soar. Don’t restrict yourself, and don’t edit it a you write it
- no one else has to see it, and you can always change it later.
List And Affirm Your Goals
When you take this next step you will see powerful results. Within your ideal scene are
bound to be several different goals. Take a clean sheet of paper, write “Goals” at the
top, and list your major goals, however many there are, on the page. I had ten or
twelve goals when I first did my list; now I have just six - my life has gotten simpler
over the years.
First we simply list our goals, in any way that comes to mind. Then we go back and
rewrite each goal as an affirmation: words that affirm those goals are now in the
process of being realized. The trick is to state your goals in the present, and yet put
them in a way that is believable to you at present, so your subconscious mind can get
to work on them.
The most effective affirmations are stated in the present tense, and yet are entirely
believable to you. They are worded so your goal is now in the process of happening -
not that it has already been achieved, which is not believable. “I am now a millionaire”
is stated in the present, yet it is something your conscious and subconscious mind will
have difficulty believing if, in reality, you are scrounging to pay the rent every month.
Here is the affirmation that worked for me:
