Your Future

Your Future

Michelangelo discovered a huge, rough marble rock in a quarry. Within it he could actually see his masterpiece "The David" and said he merely had to carve away the unnecessary marble and he would have his statue.

When we create a vision for our life, imagery proves to be an especially useful tool.

A jigsaw puzzle is much easier to put together when you can see a picture of the puzzle to be solved. Visioning is very similar.

The word vision is derived from the Latin word videre, meaning "to see." It is important to understand the significance of "seeing" your vision.

Envisioning is a mental process in which you focus your imagination. The more vivid, real, visual, and richly detailed the image is, the more effective and compelling it will be. You won't do anything you can't picture yourself doing.

When we can see our vision clearly it is like writing our history before it happens.

Legendary advertising executive David Ogilvy started his advertising agency by listing all the clients that he most wanted - General Foods, Lever Brothers, Bristol Myers, Campbell Soup Company and Shell Oil. Those companies were, at the time, the largest advertising accounts in the world, and of course he had none of them. However, they were on his list, they were part of his vision.

Mr. Ogilvy said that it took time but eventually he got every single one of them.

Think of the construction of a home.

Construction companies that put a significant effort into the design phase of building experience far fewer errors or changes during the building process. The best plans would contain every detail, right down to the exact placement of the soap dish in the shower. The more the designers are able to hammer out the details during the visioning process, the more likely they will be to achieve the final result.

Stephen Covey, author of "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," once asked his son's Orthodontist how he approached his work.

The doctor told Mr. Covey that he first started with a picture in his mind of what the mouth would look like when he was finished. Keeping that image in mind at all times guided every single decision and move, each one building on the next in order to achieve the visualized outcome.

In other words, he didn't decide the next move based on what the mouth currently looked like, he chose his next move based on what the mouth would look like when he was done.

Your vision of the future then is based on how you make decisions today. What you say, what you do, how you act - on purpose and on target for your ideal future.

* What specific actions are you doing today that move you toward your vision?

* What behaviors are based solely on how you feel today?

* How will you change those to reflect a commitment to your ideal future?

Now go have a POWERFUL day!

Investing in Your Child's Future $19.95 Most parents dream of giving their children the best possible education. However an education – primary, secondary and tertiary – costs money. Parents of a child born in 2006 can pay approximately $250K for a child's lifetime education according to the latest research from the Australian Scholarships Group. And costs are constantly on the rise. Investing in Your Child's Future is aimed at parents and future parents, grandparents and other family members, and covers children's education from pre-school to tertiary studies. It is designed to show readers how they can secure and contribute to their children's future and can benefit from a higher education at the institution of their choice, without sacrificing their lifestyle or financial security, and regardless of their income. Investing in Your Child's Future shows readers how they can finance all, or some, of their children's education by planning ahead, implementing simple strategies and saving money as early and as regularly as possible. When your children are young, it's easy to delay funding their education as it is not an immediate expense. However, education is a major expense, regardless of whether you choose a private or public education, and the sooner you start saving, the more money you will accumulate, and the sooner you can stop worrying about your child's future.
