Do you sometimes dream about the kind of life you truly want? If you could create the life you would really like over the course of the next five years, how would your life look then? What are some significant accomplishment you would like to have achieved? Do you believe your life will be any different than it is today?

It can be disconcerting to project yourself into the future like that. There is a lot of trepidation and uncertainly because the future is unknown. The Native Americans call the unknown future the Great Mystery. And they are bang- on. The future is a mystery and it can be great! The only thing about the future that you can know for sure, is that it is derived from what you dream, hope, and imagine.

The future comes to us in the images we create in our minds, or the ones we create from the conversations we have. This is why goal planning is so important. In fact, most progressive workplaces have incorporated this type of process in their performance evaluation cycle.

When you set specific goals for yourself, create an action plan and discuss them with your manager, supervisor, spouse, life coach, parents or mentor, you are purposefully co-creating your own future.

These images you hold about the future guide and inspire you. They influence your present actions and decisions. Just like a flower grows toward the sunlight, people grow and change in the direction of their brightest light. A light that is reflected by the images they hold about their future self.

You already the power within yourself to create the future you desire. When you access this infinite power, you can truly create anything you want!
