See It to Achieve It

I was thinking the other day about how we can attain our ideal life, you know the actual steps it takes to create it, and I got to thinking about how vital it is that we take the time to visualise what we want and where we want to be.

If you really want to create a new life for yourself, a better, more fulfilling, more fantastic life, you need to be able to see it.  Now I don’t mean just having a vague idea in your head that you would like a bigger house, a flash car, a husband and 2 children or a better job.  I mean you need to be able to visualise your life as you want it to be.

Think of the Universe as a cash dispenser (for want of a better analogy).  You state what you want and it gives it to you.  You ask for £20 and it gives you £20. It might give it to you as 2 x £10, £4 x £5 or 1 x £20.  But you get £20.  The Universe is just like this.  If you give it a clear order, tell it what you want by visualising it, it will give it to you and will do so in the most appropriate form for you at that time. 

Say you want a nice house, by the ocean.  Don’t just leave it at that, be a bit more specific and give it some detail.  Your job is to see yourself living in such a place.  What would it look like, feel like, smell like?  Go from room to room and decorate it.  See yourself having dinner there, entertaining friends and family, sleeping in your cosy bedroom, and relaxing in your lovely living room. And do this as often as the fancy takes you. 

Now the Universe knows what kind of house you want, it will start to take steps to see you get it and, it will make sure the house in question is just right for you at the time you receive it. 

Ok, there are more steps than this to creating your ideal life, but visualising it in some detail is where you start.

The problem is that what we normally do is this, we think:

“I would so love to live in a house by the sea; maybe in Miami, or Marbella or Ibiza.  I’d like 2 rooms, no 4 would be better no maybe 6 would be better.  I’d love to have two floors.  No wait, maybe I’d prefer a bungalow.  Or, maybe I should live in a penthouse in the city instead”.

Then we wonder why we either stay where we are or move onto to something that’s no better or sometimes worse.

People think that it’s ok to not know what they want and to just go with the flow.  But if you go with the flow you’ll continue to drift aimlessly, then find yourself washed up on any old river bank, or God forbid, find yourself going over a waterfall and smashing into the waters beneath.

If you don’t tell the Universe where you want to go, where you want to be, how can it take you there?

Take the time to decide what you want in your life and put some energy into visualising yourself having it.  It doesn’t matter if what you want is a new job, a new relationship, a new wardrobe, to be living in another country or all of the above.  See yourself there so the Universe knows where to take you.

Otherwise you’ll just end up drifting along, and it will be your own fault if you end up in a place you don’t want to be.
