<p>I do and this is something I read recently that galvanized me&#8230;</p>
<p>I was reading a book by Wayne Dyer.</p>
<p>In it he reminded me of how to <strong>visualize</strong> my goal.</p>
<p>He says, &#8220;Your imagination allows you the fabulous luxury of <em>thinking from the end.</em> There&#8217;s no stopping anyone who can think from the end.&#8221;</p>
<p>Profound.</p>
<p>Now, I do not claim to be the world&#8217;s MOST successful man&#8230; (whatever that means)&#8230; but I feel good.  I&#8217;m happy most of the time.  And I have been able to actualize every dream I have had.</p>
<p>Instead of living life adrift in a sea of unhappiness&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>I sail purposely in a sea of happiness&#8230; punctuated by islands of discontent.</strong></p>
<p>What&#8217;s the secret?</p>
<p>Well, part of it is thinking about the end&#8230; and working backwards.</p>
<p>What I always do is: I imagine what I really WANT&#8230; without worrying about what I imagine others might think of that goal.  Then, I work myself backwards, step by step, to where I am currently.</p>
<p>I never let myself believe it is impossible.  I just start taking steps.</p>
<p>Heck, I might fail.</p>
<p>I HAVE failed.</p>
<p>But then&#8230;</p>
<p>I got up and dusted myself off and took a new direction.</p>
<p>I have always believed it was best to&#8230;</p>
<p>Never let doubt creep into the imagination for a single second.</p>
<p>Know that all of your experience/existence is a function of your creative and programmed imagination &#8212; and that if imagination can work for &#8220;the source&#8221;, or God&#8230; or whatever you call it&#8230; it can work for you too.</p>
<p>Visualize who and what you want to be&#8230; see your goal as the end result exactly as you want it.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
