How to Build a Future While Others Go to Work
The question is more revealing than it might seem. Although this may strike you as a trivial matter relating to a slight change in wording, it makes a huge difference in your attitude.
Here’s a simple way to tell the difference.
In your mind’s eye, imagine watching someone go to work. Perhaps he or she is anything but energetic. Perhaps you imagine someone shuffling along. Instead of visualizing someone striding with a sense of purpose, perhaps you see someone almost Instead of a look of determination, the image in your mind’s eye looks like his or her fate is already determined.
On the other hand, imagine yourself going to build a future. Most likely, you are walking energetically. You have a spring in your step. You stride with a sense of purpose and sport a look of determination.
Now see this “going to build a future” scene as if through your own eyes. See, hear, and feel this scene as if viewing it from the perspective right behind your eyes. From this point of view, what does “going to build a future” look like?
It’s pretty obvious which will attract more success, money, and accomplishment, isn’t it?
So here’s the secret that empowers you to build a brighter future every day regardless of what you do for a living and where you do it. Don’t go to work. Go to build a future.
Here are two simple ways to do this. Walk, talk, and act like you are going to build a future instead of going to work and replace “I’m going to work” with “I’m going to build a future.”
Carry yourself like you are going somewhere in life and you will be even if you are presently at a dead end. is because your physiology sets a tone for your mind. You simply cannot look upbeat, energetic, and determined for long without your mind generating upbeat, energetic, and determined thoughts.
Conversely, you can’t look like a mope and think like a success. The mind/body complex doesn’t work that way. In essence, they are two ends of the same attitude stick.
However, I realize that not everyone will recognize the wisdom of merely acting the part of success. Therefore, here’s another option. Form the habit of saying “I’m going to build a future” instead of “I’m going to work.”
Simply substitute the one sentence for the other. In my experience, you only need to do this a few times and you will begin to correct yourself if you slip up and say “I’m to work.” Say “I’m going to build a future” often enough and you will begin to believe it even if your life situation does not look like it at the moment.
“I’m going to build a future” lifts your vision, tunes you into success thinking, and helps you grasp new opportunities. And, coincidentally, it puts a spring in your step and a determined look on your face.
In my experience, some people respond to one of these techniques more than the other. That’s why I’ve included both.
So walk, talk, and act like the statement “I’m going to build a future” is the reality of your life and it will come to pass with a speed and certainty that will amaze you.
