What is your fantasy?

There are three types of goal or "New Year's Resolution" to aim for and the first two types are usually the one's that you fail to achieve but sadly they are the ones that most people adopt!

There are the goals that we know we can have, maybe it's a new TV? How come we know we can have a new TV? It's because we already have a TV. It's easy to believe we can have a replacement to anything we own, we've done it before, so we can do it again!

Then there are the goals we think we can have, like loosing weight! Other people have lost weight, we've seen their stories; so if we consider the problem and think about it, we should be able find or work out a strategy for loosing weight!

The problem with the know and think type goals is that both of them lack inspiration. Without inspiration our goals lose their desirability and very early on in our pursuit of these type of goals we give up with our attempt to have them.

If you want a goal that you see as a pure fantasy, you will have to use your imagination to go get it and you will find that this will be a most inspiring journey. The inspiration will carry you through till you have the goal! However, most people don't even consider this type of goal and why is that?

As children we believed that anything was possible, our parents encouraged us to use our imagination, as it often served them to get us out from under their feet. But when we got to school we were told by our teachers to stop looking out of the window and to concentrate on the lesson being taught and if we didn't we would be punished in some way for not paying attention. They stopped us from using our imagination and conditioned us to think about what they wanted us to think about, very much like the media attempts to do to us in our adult life.

Albert Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge, it is the preview of life's coming attractions!" I suggest that you should escape your conditioning, instead start to imagine and fantasize and then your goals will become your reality!

Roger Bannister ran the first sub four minute mile, Edmund Hillary climbed Everest, Wilbur and Orville Wright built a flying machine! Everyone said these things were impossible ... but they weren't!

So what is it that you want? What is your fantasy? I suggest whatever it is, however unrealistic, you pursue it with all your might! You may want to consider having a Life Coach at your side throughout the journey to keep you on track, to believe in you, to share the tools and strategies that will help and to encourage you if you ever feel like giving up.

Napoleon Hill said "The imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known!" I suggest you use yours! :)
