You might feel like envisioning your future is a challenging process, but it doesn’t have to be. When you try to envision your future, you need to imagine a “perfect picture” of doing exactly what you want to do. It’s actually more like a movie than a picture playing out in your mind, creating a pattern in your brain of performing the actions as if you are actually doing them.

By doing this, you allow yourself to practice in your mind the steps you need to take and the goals you need to accomplish for having and doing what it is you desire. Along with the vision, you also have a positive mental attitude so that the future you’re envisioning is something you believe is possible. If you don’t believe it’s possible, then no amount of imagination will ever make it a reality.

“The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger

It’s the combination of imagining and believing that will propel you forward to take real actions toward your vision. Those small actions that you need to take to move you toward the vision of your distant future will also require the imagination and visualization of how and what it will take to get there. It’s the constant cycle of imagining, visualizing and taking action toward your vision.

So as you can see, envisioning the “big picture” of what you desire in your distant future also takes a smaller, less distant vision. Which when you stop to think about it, is what you find yourself doing in so many other areas of your life on a daily basis. Use your imagination to picture your future, visualize doing what it will take to get there, believe in yourself and take action!
