Visualizing You Are Already Where You Want To Be

“Attract what you want by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.”

~Neville Goddard

I was watching Dr. Wayne Dyer on PBS last night and his program, Wishes Fulfilled. I got a lot out of the three hour motivational program (and dvr’d it so that I can go back and get more out of it later). He said things that I in some ways already knew and realized but sometimes hearing them from someone else, from another perspective, changes the way you receive the information. When his program opens he has a statement on the projector screen for the viewing audience that states “If you would like to accomplish something, you must first expect it of yourself.” Makes sense right?

I know that if you succumb to the negativity that builds up around you, you are going to eventually project that same negativity into every facet of your life. This week is about me getting my fire back that I once had and somehow lost. It’s also about getting back to that person who didn’t always let the negativity surrounding her overtake her. It’s about getting rid of that mentality of being so fearful of everything that she never enjoys what good could be happening in the present moment.

I thought that I would be in a certain place at this point of my life and because I’m not there yet I’m doubting every decision I make, every decision I don’t make, every opportunity that I take, and especially the ones that I don’t take. People always say to go with your gut when making crucial life decisions, but lately I’ve realized that my gut instincts aren’t what they once were because of that damn fear. It’s keeping me from seeing myself in the state that I want to be in and I know that if I don’t begin to see myself in that place, I might never get to that place.

Dr. Wayne Dyer said that people who say that they will believe something when they see it have it all wrong. He said that you will only see it when you believe it, and he’s right. I mean after all, if you can’t believe in and see it for yourself then how is anyone else going to be able to see it?

So instead of continuing to wish that I was more of a success, and agonizing over why I’m not, I need to act as if I am at the level of success that I want to be at. I should imagine that I am already in that place where my company is not only up and running, but it’s going strong. I can see it now!

Visualize That You Are Already There

October 14, 2011October 14, 2011 jcladyluv

“See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.”

~Robert Collier

There are people who say that you become what you believe. So it’s simple, right? If you visualize something you want in your life, then you will eventually achieve it. However, it is difficult for a lot of people to believe in things that have yet to be seen; to believe that what you visualize could actually be tangible.

We are told to step out on faith. We believe that through God all things are possible and we stay true to that (for the most part), but we can’t see God either. So just as we blindly trust in God to always be there for us and guide us in the right direction why are we not so trusting in our own instincts and our own belief in ourselves? Why is it that we can’t trust that what we envision for our lives is not what we can actually have?

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Jim Carey said that before he made it big he would drive around and he would visualize what he wanted for his life and he would envision that he actually had those things but that they were just temporarily out of his reach at that moment. That’s an ingenious way to look at things because in reality, nothing that any of us wants for ourselves is impossible. What takes the possibility out of succeeding in our goals is the lack of determination and persistence at going after them because as Jim Carey also noted in his interview, visualizing does nothing if there is no work done to obtain that vision.

When you think about what you want your level of success to be and what you can achieve, you should not set those standards according to what others may be thinking your level should be. Your calling in life has nothing to do with anyone else but what you see yourself doing and what you see yourself achieving. Visualizing your goals and not just the possibilities but the realities can allow you to see that they are right within your grasp, if only you would just reach out your hands and grab a hold of them.

So the next time you start hearing yourself say you wish you could just achieve this or that and you find yourself feeling as if there are nothing but what ifs hanging over your head, just stop and visualize that you are already wherever it is that you want to be and that you already have the things that you wish to have. It’s a lot better then thinking that it will never happen. Until next time…Grab onto the image of success that’s right in front of you instead of the possibility of failure!

Visualizing Your Destiny

March 9, 2011 jcladyluv

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

~ William Jennings Bryan

No one ever said that having a vision would be easy. When you’re in middle school and you’re asked what it is you want to be when you grow up, you never imagine just how much work goes into accomplishing what that goal is. When we were kids we used to see a doctor or a lawyer on television and think, oh I can do that, not putting any thought into what kind of determination that it takes to get there. Being older we can put into perspective what it truly takes to accomplish what it is that you feel is your destiny.

Sitting around and waiting for your dreams to suddenly become a reality is a habit that a lot of people, especially us creative types, tend to fall into without even realizing that we are doing it. But what we want out of life is not going to get accomplished by sitting around and waiting, or procrastinating. They say that life is what you make it and that applies just as much to our goals and dreams that we want for our life. If you want to be a doctor, you have to put in the work, and that means everything that comes with it. If you want to be a published author, then you have to work at that too.

If you are someone who always expects things to come to you, then more often than not, you will be sitting on the sidelines of life. You might find yourself in your thirties wondering what happened to your life and why you have nothing to show for it. You are what you have made of yourself. You have to work for what it is that you want and make of yourself what it is that you are destined to be.
