Remember that merely choosing to change is not enough; you have to change the picture in your mind to affect change.
People have these pictures in their minds about who they are and what the world around them is or is not, and most people want to change the whole house at once without having the proper tools to do the job right, and so they fail.
Work on it slowly. Don’t think about what you want in the distant future, but what you want this weekend. You need to be developing your picture a little bit at a time, and expand that picture as often as you would like.
What would the perfect Monday look like for you? What would the perfect Tuesday look like for you? Wednesday through Sunday? Take it just a day at a time. And don’t do the whole week to begin with. Just take one day in the week, and if that is too big take an evening and work on that.
What is the worst day in your week? How would you change that day and make it the best day in your life? Develop these visualization powers until you are ready for what you want to see yourself be next month, next year, two years from now, five years from now, a decade from now.
Start small and see how much change you can affect in an evening, a day, a weekend. Then you will be able to choose to project changes that you want and become effective in your change because you will be able to see the change in the future. Instead of ordering yourself to change, you will see the change in the theatre of your mind.
Success is the accomplishment of something that is important to you. If something is important to you it becomes a picture of your future and your life moves towards your pictures.
