Visualize The Life You Want

There is an article on this site about Life Mapping. It’s about your goals in life and creating a vision of those things and of the person you want to be. What you bring to the process now and how you can grow those good things in your life by having objectives. And this is an important process to go through – have a look at the article.

The law of attraction suggests the life mapping process will help you move forward because your focus moves to the places you want to go to rather than something that may be sitting in your path in this moment, or something you see in your path a little way down the road. Life mapping is a tool that can help with the law of attraction because it focuses on where you want to be and sets aside limits.

Keep The Vision Fresh

Can you keep this vision fresh everyday when you look to it? Life mapping helps you formulate the outcomes that you use in your visualization and meditation.

From Vision To Inspiration

Allow your life map inspired vision to take on a life of it’s own. This is inspiration as the vision moves from your thoughts to changing on it’s own. Inspiration happens when there is stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity. Inspiration is divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humankind.

Life mapping is an essential part of stimulating the mind in the direction you’d like to go. As you are formulating your mind map you need to let go of limits. Recall at one time no one believed that the four minute mile could be broken and now it’s done not just at the college level but also high school. The false belief has been removed and along with it artificial limitations. Clear yourself of such false limitations in order to allow your vision to take form and be truly inspired.

States of Joy

As you unleash visions based on your life mapping just know it’s a perfect day as you begin. You don’t need to know why, only that it is. If you know why – that’s fine – but that it is a perfect day is all you need.

Joy comes from gratitude and appreciation. Can you maintain a state of gratitude, can you appreciate where you are in life or do you just notice the things that aren’t quite right. Often when people make goals they stop there. If you’ve stopped there you have probably just spent a lot of time reviewing everything you don’t like about your life and want to change. I weigh too much, I don’t make enough money, and any number of other items where you don’t feel you measure up to the person you want to be. The danger is two-fold. You are focusing on your problems, you are making a lot of work for yourself. It is important to change this around a bit.

Instead of setting goals by looking at your short comings look out to that perfect day in the future where everything is right in your life. Look out and be grateful that you are that person – can you appreciate that this accomplished person is you? And that accomplished person is grateful for the good things, that person looks back at you and smiles and you see love and feel a connectedness unlike you have known. Make life mapping work for you – go into the vision and reach back to yourself now and share the joy and gratitude. Pass back the good things that you feel and enjoy them now.

Connecting To The Future

In your heart you get the message coming to you. This great accomplished person is connected with you now and loves you in a profound way and appreciates all that you are doing now because your actions have created this perfect day. And as you look to yourself and you look back you experience that moment now, you share the joy with yourself. It is the gratitude and appreciation flowing both ways on the time line that is your life.

Out of this gratitude faith comes and with faith and belief all things are possible. Don’t make yourself do anything, see the vision, see that person who is you on one of what will be many perfect days and this thing that you are considering doing, how does it connect you to this perfect day, does it have a connection, is it something that will help take you there? The joy of this perfect day and the activity you are considering, aren’t they really one? Can you do the activity with the gratitude of the person you are on that perfect day looking back and giving thanks that you did the things that are necessary to get there? It is you today who has built that life – can you enjoy that now?

And when you need some encouragement can you look out to that person, smile, and reconnect to that bond – that energy between the two of you?

Connecting To Your Past

Your life is a wheel and you sit in the hub, look down any spoke and see yourself past, present, and future. Look back the other direction from that perfect day and see the kid back there. Was he struggling or was it good. Smile back at that little person and communicate the good to him. Let him know that he is valuable and important and thank him for all he is doing – it is important and even if he has made some mistakes you’ve learned from them and he has set the foundation of your success. Go back to him often and help him see those things that he may not be aware of that will move him in the direction he needs to go.

Life mapping can help you connect with your visions in a way that will inspire you. As it does reach back and connect with that part of you in the past that also wanted to achieve and succeed. Pass some of that joy back to him and can you see that he will pass it back forward to you now and increase the joy, and resolution, and drive that is within you? Your bad memories will clear and the joyful memories will take their place, new heights of possibility and achievement will overtake you. Life mapping with the visualization that empowers the law of attraction will take you to new levels of joy, empowerment, gratitude, action and success.
