Remembering Your Future Self

“Do you want to know what you think about most of the time? Take a look at the results you’re getting. That will tell you exactly what’s going on inside.”
-Bob Proctor

Another New Years is around the corner, and it’s time to think about goals and resolutions. Here are three simple words to unlock extraordinary success in 2024:

Results don’t lie.

Honest appraisal of your external situation is the starting point for all true goal achievement, because accurately assessing your situation gives you a clear and unmistakable feedback loop about how you are acting and what you are thinking about most of the time!

Results don’t lie. Post it on your mirror!
Results don’t lie. Make it your screen saver.
Results don’t lie. Write it in your journal.

But WHY is this seemingly simple phrase such a powerful concept for driving goal achievement?

The Core Laws of Goal Achievement The external results of your life are not random events, but are directly correlated to the actions you take and the actions you don’t take. This is known as the Law of Cause and Effect, or the the Law of Reaping and Sowing.

Directly related to these powerful laws are the underlying principles of Law of Attraction and Law of Vibration. These laws are simple when you read them, but serve as the foundation for all your potential success and failure in life:

What you constantly think about determines your actions,
which in turn determines you results.

And, Results Don’t Lie!

Not only do your thoughts directly impact your own actions, but because of our tightly woven social networks, your thoughts and actions cast powerful ripple effects that travel far beyond what we can consciously imagine. Powerful new research has shown the almost spooky power of social networks to drive results and create social contagion several degrees of separation from its source. In other words, the world is truly wired is in a conspiracy to make your thoughts and dreams come true - for good or ill.

The Power of Visualization Visualization is the tool to put the fundamental goal achievement laws to work in your life and drive results. In other words, your results are directly linked to how well you learn to handle and harness your internal skills of imagination and visualization. If you are serious about results, you need to get serious about visualization. There is no way around it. What you think about is what you get.

Your future self is not just a distant dream; it's a powerful force that can guide your present actions and decisions. The act of imagining your future self involves more than just daydreaming. It's a focused exercise in visualization where you vividly picture your achievements, lifestyle, and the person you aspire to become.

Aligning with the Law of Frequency and Attraction The Law of Frequency and Attraction suggests that what we focus on expands, and our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality. By frequently visualizing your future self, you align your mental and emotional frequency with your goals, attracting opportunities and resources that can turn your vision into reality.

Practical Steps to Visualize Your Future Self

1. Quiet Reflection: Find a quiet space where you can concentrate without distractions.

2. Detailed Visualization: Picture your future self in as much detail as possible. What are you doing? How do you feel? Who is with you? The more detailed, the better.

3. Emotional Connection: Try to connect emotionally with your future self. Feel the joy, pride, or satisfaction you imagine experiencing.

4. Regular Practice: Make this a regular practice. The more frequently you visualize, the stronger and clearer your vision becomes. As we’ve written about before, use short bursts of visualization epochs to build and strengthen the power of your visualizations.

Success Through Visualization Successful individuals, from athletes to entrepreneurs, often attribute part of their success to visualization techniques. For example, an athlete might visualize crossing the finish line first, feeling the tape break across their chest. This mental rehearsal not only prepares them physically but aligns their mindset towards victory. Michael Phelps, Lindsey Vonn, Serena Williams and many other top achievers use this core principle to drive their extraordinary results.

Conclusion Remembering your future self through regular and epoch-driven visualization is a powerful strategy that fully taps into and unleashes the power behind the Law of Frequency and the Law of Cause and Effect. It's not just about seeing the future; it's about feeling and believing it and linking your imagination to the super-powered laws that drive success.
