How many adults do you know who seem to have just stagnated where they are? They have only wishes of the future while they try desperately to keep the bills paid. They often complain about their jobs, and they are easily discouraged.
You see, adults who are burdened with life’s responsibilities, and who are struggling along in life were once young people who didn’t visualize their futures and follow through.
On the other hand, people who do incorporate vision are easy to spot! They are full of energy! They grow! They accomplish!
So, take some time—right now—to visualize who and where you want to be in your future, and keep that mental picture with you always. Every time you look in the mirror, take a moment to remember that “future you!” It really will make a difference if you do.
