Don’t worry about what the future brings. Instead, imagine what you want your future to look like.

Do you like in a big house? Do you have a wife and kids? Where do you live? What do you do for a living? What do you care about? What do you do in your free time?

Think about what you want. Don’t write down what you think you should be doing. Don’t try to appease anyone but yourself.

This shouldn’t be a quick exercise. It shouldn’t stay static. This should be an ever changing future. You can change what you want.

Think big about your future. Don’t sell yourself short.

Take time to think deeply about your life and where you see yourself in 5 or 10 or 20 years.

It’s good to focus on the current moment but you must have some idea of where you want to be. 

Be as detailed as possible. Write down everything you want and who you want to be. 

The vehicle you drive – or other types of transportation, the color of your house, the animals you’ll have, the place or places you’ll live, the things you’ll accomplish, etc.

This shouldn’t be a painful exercise. Have fun with it. Get creative and write down anything you feel.

Writing it down makes it feel more realistic. You can go back to that piece of paper whenever you want. If you’re doing something that doesn’t fit in line with your end goals, move on.

Your future is bright. Now that you have your end in mind, work backwards to make it happen.
