Remember Your Future Self
Tapping Into the Power of Intention
Your willpower is so much less effective than your imagination, which is your link to the power of intention. Imagination is the movement of the universal mind within you. Your imagination creates the inner picture that allows you to participate in the act of creation.
-Wayne Dyer
There is nothing wrong with using your willpower to achieve your goals, just like there is nothing wrong with using a shovel to dig the foundation of your house. The problem with willpower - like your little shovel - is that it’s not the best tool for the job! Remembering Your Future Self is about training your imagination and tapping into the power of intention to achieve your goals faster and more efficiently than using willpower alone.
Creating the inner picture of your future self in a state of achievement and acceptance allows you to easily accept the tools and energy you need right now, today - on the way to meeting your future self. Je ne sais quois is that state of effortless ease where everything you undertake tends towards surprising success and abundance.
When you Remember Your Future Self, there should not be any strain or anxiety - just like when you remember past accomplishments. Your mind should hold no reservations, no worry or doubt about what will come to pass. Just enjoy seeing your future self doing whatever intentions you hold to be important.
If you get off track and start focusing on the strikeouts and missed pitches - you will not get out of your slump. Instead, picture the proverbial bat hitting the ball in an effortless swing and watch as the ball sails out of the park.
Instead of gritting your teeth with more willpower, unleash your imagination with clear intention and Remember Your Future Self!
