Create Your Best
Life
Saleem Rana
"You can create
what you want in life; first you have to imagine it clearly. Imagine
your ideal scene," Marc Allen, The Millionaire Course.
How do you use your imagination to create your ideal scene?
If you want to be inspired to create your best life, I'll share with you
some of the ideas I've used.
1. Write out your top ten values. Write quickly and without editing. A
value is what is important to you. For example, wealth, freedom,
enjoying a great relationship, and creative self-expression are values.
Your values are what you want to spend your time doing. If something is
not important to you, it is not a value. It's not something you'll be
interested in doing. A value is anything that excites you and makes you
feel more alive.
2. Check if any of
your values conflict. When values conflict, they nullify each other. For
example, if you value freedom and also a good job, there is an apparent
conflict. Sometimes you may have to conform too much in a job to be
free. You reconcile this by finding out how you can enjoy financial
security and freedom. When you can find how both values can work in
harmony, you'll be able to integrate them.
3. Check if your values are something you're moving toward or whether
you're trying to move away from something. For example, if wealth is a
value, ask if you're choosing wealth because you're avoiding poverty. If
you do, you'll be focusing on avoiding poverty. By thinking of poverty,
you're staying in that loop because you get more of what you focus on.
Instead find ways to make wealth attractive to you: imagine the relief
of bills paid, the comfort of the new house, the thrill of the new
sports car, and so on. This way you'll be pulled toward wealth and you
won't focus on poverty at all.
4. Now rewrite
your top ten values into goals. Write the goals in either the present or
the past tense. If you write them in the future tense, you're subtly
pushing them away. The future will always be one step ahead of you.
5. Finally, use these goals to describe your ideal scene. How do you
want the goal to look as you approach the deadline for its realization.
6. Doing this exercise should give you a lift. As you write out your
ideal scene, you should feel a thrill of anticipation. If your ideal
scene does not excite you, then your goals are not compelling enough
because they're based on values that you don't care about. In this case,
you have to revisit your values and think about what it is that you
really want for yourself.
7. Now your plan
is to daily activate your subconscious mind to bring these goals into
your experience. You'll do this by writing out your ideal scene the
first thing in the morning every morning until it shows up in your life.
Imagine your life if you chose to design it!
