Do you know how the life of your dreams looks? Really know what it looks like and how it feels to live it on every level of your existence?
We all set goals in different areas of our lives, such as health, relationships or careers. Some of us also visualize these goals by creating images in our minds or physically on our wall or computer. This is even more effective, as this will assist in bringing these goals into reality.
By visualizing them in detail, they will become more and more real to yourself and particularly your subconscious mind. Especially when you really feel like you have already achieved these goals.
Your mind works like a magnet; whatever energy vibrations you send out with your thoughts and feelings is exactly what you will attract to your life with regard to events, people or circumstances that will assist you to reach your goals.
I want to share with you a way to apply these principles in an extremely powerful way; by visualizing your dream life like being at the movies.
A blockbuster is showing called “My Dream Life”. Close your eyes, and start ‘acting’ as the star in your own future! Imagine your life five years from now. You have achieved the goals and dreams you had set for yourself and you are truly living the life you wish to manifest.
Describe in as much detail as you can:
Where do you live; at the beach, in the mountains?
What does your house look like?
How will you look; healthier, fitter and younger?
Who will you be spending your time with? How much time will you be able to dedicate these persons and what will you be doing?
To whom or what will you be able to contribute today? How does this make you feel?
What is your level of happiness, and your level of gratitude and excitement?
Really get into this. Give yourself permission to dream big! See yourself living a wonderful life in health, wealth, spirituality and social activities. Really feel like you are living this amazing life and know you deserve it.
My recommendation is to do this when you first awaken, before getting out of bed, and last thing at night. Why not spend the first and last five minutes of your day in your future dream life?

Please share your success ,at the movies. I know it works for me.
Have you ever decided that it was time for a change? At first, there is recognition of the need to change. Either you realize it, or someone else indicates it to you. But, just recognizing that a change is needed does not change anything.
Like everything else, change starts in your mind first, and that’s where the battle will take place. Your mind will object to changes. “No! I don’t want to exercise every day. I don’t have enough time! What if I overdo it?” The mind objects to leaving the comfortable environment that it is so accustomed to.
The reason that change is difficult for most people is that we all like to be comfortable, and change interrupts our comfortable routine; it interrupts our comfort zone. Even if our comfortable routine is not bringing us the results in life that we really desire, we choose to remain in the routine, instead of making the decision to change.
It doesn’t matter whether the changes are little changes or big changes, your mind will always have some objections to it.
Keep in mind these two things whenever you really desire to change something in your life. First, consistently remind yourself of the goal or reason for the change. For example, say “I’m going to exercise every day so that I can be healthier, have more energy, and live longer,” or, “I’m going to spend the time and money to take this course so that I can improve my skills and have more to offer.”
You need to keep reminding yourself of the reason why. If you don’t, your mind will come back with all kinds of reasons why you don’t need to change anything! Your mind will object by telling you that everything is just fine the way it is! But you must take charge of your mind! Make your mind focus on the goal.
And here’s the second thing. Be patient. If you’re consistent and persistent, the change will come.
If you take a pot of boiling water off the stove and put in four ice cubes, is that water cool enough to drink? No. But if you keep adding ice cubes, over and over, eventually that boiling water will change to ice cold water.
Change takes time. And many times our minds will get impatient during a period of change. There will be thoughts like, “Oh this isn’t working, it’s just not happening.” Or, “I don’t see the point in continuing with this.” In other words, the mind is suggesting that you ought to quit and go back to where things were nice and comfortable where things were easy and there wasn’t so much to do!
When those kind of thoughts pop up, you need to remind yourself of why you have decided to put in this time and effort. In other words, remind yourself of why you desire this change. Remind yourself that change takes time, and that if you’re consistent and persistent, you will see the results that you really desire.
And always remember that change is a part of life. Realizing that makes life exciting! With God’s help, you can indeed make the change! Don’t be afraid of change, embrace it!
The time and effort required for change may vary, but the outcome of reaching the desired destination will far outweigh all the time and effort once you arrive!
Comfort zones are just another resting place on the road of life. They are a place to regroup and expand your foundation. They give you a launching pad for the next exciting adventure of life!
If you’re current routine is not bringing you the results that you desire, then it’s time to move out of your comfort zone! If it’s time for a change in your life!
