Climb the tower, become your pinnacle!

Early morning. Standing in an elevator all my myself, rising the floors to the top. Feeling relaxed, feeling calm and a sense that I had been here before, a sense that I belonged here....

The elevator stopped slowly and smoothly, I stepped off onto the floor. The funny thing was that I didn’t know what floor i was on, I didn’t know where this apartment building was or even the city that I was in, but I knew I was supposed to be here, I knew I was destined to be here.

I turned to the right and began walking slowly down the hall, towards a door at the end of the hall. There was no number on the door, this was not my apartment, but I had every right to enter it, I felt it deep down, i had earned the right!

As I stood in front of the door I calmly grabbed the handle and began turning it;

who or what would be inside? What is my reason for being here?

I opened the door, my eyes grew wide, I smiled. “perfection” was the first word to take form in my mind. The apartment, the environment; it was serene, minimalist. Everything in the room had a purpose, everything had a reason, it felt as though it had been designed entirely for me. Windows directly ahead covered the entire apartment and lead way to an immaculate view of the city below. An sprawling open modern kitchen to my right and to my left a peaceful sitting area and a fire place. 

Everything was where it should be.

Directly in front of me was a long hallway, I stared down it for only a second…

Then I saw him, a silhouette at first walking towards me. As he came closer he began to take first form; 6’1, blonde, fit/lean (fitter than I was), healthy (healthier than me that is), happy, smiling, conscious and present to the moment he was. Finally after taking form he then took name....

Calder was his name!

It was me, but at the same time it wasn’t me. For I was staring at myself 3 years from now!!

“Hello Calder” Present me

“Hello Calder, I need to tell you something” Future me

“Stay your course, keep working hard, keep moving towards your dreams, your goals, your desires and in three years you will be where you want to be”

Then he begins to tell me all of the things he has accomplished in three years. He tells me all of my current goals and dreams have been made a reality and it is possible if I stay the course.

Following this he talks not of professional accomplishments but of personality accomplishments, happier, healthier, more present, more focused, better relationships!

Then future Calder bids me good luck!

I open my eyes and being my day!

What is your vision for your future self? Where are you going? Who do you wish to become?

The power of vision is that it gives us a set point to work for. The road ahead becomes much, much more navigable it we have a clear final destination.

Every morning I allow myself 10 minutes to visualize my final destination. This puts my ideal self in the forefront of my mind so that I may align my daily habits, routines and actions with my ideal self. 

Do this and you will find that you will begin to embody your ideal self and step into your vision for the future.
