Think about your future with anticipation, not apprehension
Think of something you have right now that 10 or 20 years ago you wouldn't have thought, even in your wildest dreams, you'd have.
It could be:
- your family
- your children
- your house
- the car you're driving
- where you are in your career
- memories of amazing vacations you've been on
- the business you run
- your annual income
- the city (or country) you now reside in
- your friendships/relationships
- your current lifestyle
Imagine yourself 10 or 20 years ago and how blown away you would have been if someone were to describe to you what your life looks like today, where you are, the things you've accomplished, the milestones you've achieved. Yourself back then wouldn't have imagined it or made sense of it all. He/she wouldn't have been able to explain how all of that came about.
But they did.
They all actually happened.
Sometimes it might feel that you've been living the same life for a long time but when you stop and take stock of every single thing in your life right now, you'd be amazed to realize that you've come a long way.
You've done great things.
You've moved up.
You've experienced a lot.
Learned a lot.
You're wiser.
You've lived.
Now look forward 10 or 20 years ahead. Imagine the incredible things that await you. Picture everything that you currently still long for already in your life. They've been in your life for awhile that they don't even feel like a big deal.
Business is booming.
The kids are grown and soon off to college.
You've gained more friends.
You have a fantastic marriage.
You've traveled to __________, __________ and __________.
You now live in __________.
Life works in mysterious ways.
It plays with powerful forces that can make what seems like the impossible, a reality.
All you have to do is ask.
Then do your part and take action.
Believe that the Universe is always working in your favor.
You need not worry too much about the ifs, buts, hows and whens.
Things have an uncanny way of working out, of falling into place.
The Universe knows when the time is right.
Life knows when you are ready to receive.
And again, 10 or 20 years from now, when you feel that somehow nothing's hardly changed, you'll stop and look around you and be overwhelmed with gratitude realizing that, in fact, they have.
Beyond your wildest dreams today.

"You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."
