Step 1: Where Are You Going?
I am yet to see anyone at the airport walk into a plane without knowing where the plane is going first...yet a lot of us risk the only life we've been given on a journey without a destination.
You need to set goals for your life in order to achieve anything. The person you want to become in 20years only begins when you are able to visualise that person today and identify what you need to do consistently over time to bring that person into reality.
Right now, I am going to be asking some questions that will help you engage your imagination, so that you can create the picture you want to see in a few years...i will also be answering these questions myself to give you an idea of how it has worked for me so far.
Take time to DO this exercise, things will begin to unlock when you start...keyword is START!!!
--------------
First, i'd like you to imagine your ideal scene in 10 years...avoid all distractions when doing this exercise, go into a quiet place (without your phone), and for each question...read it and then close your eyes and visualise first....allow the picture form in your heart, then write what you see down. A Ferrari isn't built in a day, don't rush the process...you are worth more than a 1000 Ferrari's...take your time to build Yourself!!!
First question;
- How old are you in 10 years?
"When i did this, rather than use a 10year plan, i used 4years because i wanted to push myself to achieve certain things by the time i turned 35, so you can be flexible here but if you are not sure, just use 10years"
- What roles will you be playing in 10years? (Will you be married? be a Parent? Working? Business? Active in Church? etc)

Now, from my experience doing this...i began noticing some changes in my life, i started doing things that i wouldn't normally do...for example, with my goal to have a million followers in 4years, i began writing more and posting on instagram and facebook, i started sending my write ups to celebrities so they could repost...now this is something i wouldn't normally do, but that goal pushed me out of my comfort zone because the vision i could see in 4years was much bigger than any awkward situation i would be facing right now.
I believe as you do this exercise, your mind will begin to shift and it will become more conscious of what you need to do to make that dream a reality. I'm sure you now have a snapshot of what my life will look like in 4years, what about yours? Make your plan and share it with us if you feel led...PAINT PAINT PAINT!!!!!
