Change is inevitable, progress isn’t

If you keep doing what you’ve always done…

You’ll keep doing what you’ve always done.

And… You’ll keep getting what you’ve always gotten

I know, I know.

It’s been said so many times

But it bares repeating when the quality of your life is at stake

Did you know that positive powerful change is actually easy?

And it’s made possible in a big way by regularly fantasizing about the future you want to experience

Yes, you heard right…

Fantasizing about the future you want

Now if you know anything at all about neuroscience

You’ll know that your brain can't tell the difference between what's being imagined and what's being experienced

Because it's the same thing

Your experience is being created inside your mind as a response to your senses, your thoughts, and your interoceptions (bodily sensations)

So when you imagine a reality, especially when it’s vivid, intense, and bright

Your brain takes notice

That's the easy part.

The slightly more challenging part is doing it every day consistently creating the same experience in your mind's eye

But when you do…

That’s when the magic happens

The dissonance between what you’re “creating” and your “actual” experience

Has your brain driving your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour towards bringing that “fantasy” into focus with your outer reality

And you begin to move subconsciously towards creating your fantasy in the real world

You’re doing this ALL the time anyway

It’s just that you’re mostly focusing on things you either don’t want

Or you’re just letting your existing patterns run on repeat

This recreates your experience as it is over and over and over again

The paradigm explodes when you shake it up with a compelling new vision of what you WANT your experience to be

Some people call that vision a goal.

Imagine that…

Just having a juicy, crazy, exciting, madly invigorating goal

Can change your life

In ways, you CAN imagine.


P.S.

When you’re ready I have two ways to help you on the journey of transformation to make the most of your life.

Find out what how well-aligned you are with your current career with my free Career Health Audit. Find it in my profile.

Or

Chat with me about the 8-week transformational course I’m offering: “The Purpose Code: Cracking the Blueprint of Your Life” where I help you get clear on what matters most to you and what type of career (or aspects of your existing career) will give you the most meaning, purpose and joy in your life. Combined with that you will also learn (and apply) how to gain control of your negative thoughts and consistently transform them into uplifting perspectives and actions. Sound good? Message me at Richard van der Spuy and let's find a time to talk.?
