Self Motivational Thinking : You Create Your Future

If you stop and think about it, what we call the "future" is really only a product of our imagination. Each of us imagines the future out of our hopes and fears. If we feel good about ourselves, then we tend to focus on our hopes and dreams. On the other hand, if we don't feel good about ourselves, we project our fears into the picture of the future, which we view in our heads.

Too often, we tend to focus on worst case scenarios of what might happen to us. Unfortunately, the more we focus on this and visualize the awful events that we imagine in our heads, the more likely they will come to pass.

However, if you can begin to imagine a more enjoyable, fulfilling and desirable "future" and to picture it on a regular basis, you will find yourself drawn toward bringing this "future" into being.

Once you believe that this vision of your "future" is possible, then you can really commit to creating it and you'll begin to take action. As you see yourself acting with greater optimism, enthusiasm, and purpose, you will become like a magnet, attracting into your life the ideas, people, resources and opportunities that you need to bring about this vision.
