See It Happening

In my e-guide, Get Unstuck & Get What You Want In Life, I’ve compiled 20 tips with various insights, inspirational quotes, and practical actions or solutions. I want to share with you the very first tip, “See It Happening Clearly In Your Mind,” which includes an awesome bit of dialogue between Alice and the Cheshire Cat.  Check out the tip below – it’s an excerpt from the most current edition of the e-guide.

Seeing what you want clearly in your mind as though it is already happening sounds pretty basic, doesn’t it? But one of the main reasons that people get stuck and don’t get what they want is that they drift along with only a vague desire or general longing, and that’s not good enough.  

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

“–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.

“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”

(Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll)

To get unstuck and get what you want in life, you need to get a firm picture in your mind of what you want – in detail – and fully imagine what things will look like in the future when you have it.

Here are two main ways that I like to do it:

• While sitting quietly for a few minutes (maybe while gazing at trees outside my window because seeing trees helps to ground me), I imagine myself having or doing the thing I want.
• I write down affirmative “I am” statements in present tense. For example, “I am at bookstores talking to people as I sign copies of my recently published book.”

What about you… how do you establish a clear vision of what you want?
