Upton: Mapping out your dreams

One of the best ways to achieve something in life is to make it plain by writing it down.

Depicting what you want in concrete ways empowers the mind to begin the process of achieving your goals and desires.

For example, say you want to one day purchase a house. A simple way to keep your idea alive is to find a picture of the kind of house you may want to purchase and post it where you can see it and visualize it easily.

You may want to write an affirmative statement over it that says, “One day I will buy my dream house.”

There’s something amazingly powerful about the visual expression of ideas. Sculptured art on a city street loudly proclaims beauty and transformation. Billboards often inform and shake up one’s thoughts. And your own dreams portrayed openly make them appear less far-fetched in your own mind and more attainable overall.
