Think With the End in Mind

"View life as a series of movie frames, the ending and meaning may not be apparent until the very end of the movie, and yet, each of the hundreds of individual frames has meaning within the context of the whole movie. View your life from your funeral, looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn't? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what you wouldn't?" - Victor Frankl

As the new year begins and everyone is flush with resolutions and goals, I thought it would be a good time to write to you about a way to make those resolutions not just will-o-wisps of thought, but actually bring them into concrete reality.

You can create the life you want, you can make all your goals and resolutions in 2007 come true, provided that you decide, right here and now, that you will do it. Don't just say it, but believe it - right down to the very core of your being.

The above quote from Victor Frankl, the famous psychologist who survived the Nazi death camps in WWII, is a perfect place to get one started on the road to lasting achievement and success.

Within his words contain the seeds of wisdom for manifesting the life of your dreams. Please, go back and read it again and let Frankl's message really sink in.

Basically, he is telling us to think from the end. Think of your life from your funeral, yes I know it sounds a little morbid, but it can be the most inspiring thing you ever do for yourself.

Think from the end. What would do over? What do you want to have in your life? What do you want to be remembered for? What were your long-lost dreams? If you think from the end, you'll find answers to these questions and when you know the answers, start immediately to bring them into your life.

It's never too late. All your hopes, dreams and aspirations can come true. It's all in your hands. It's up to you.

Look at life like Frankl did - as a series of movie frames. You don't know the meaning of the beginning or the end until the movie is over, which is another important lesson in thinking from the end. When you think with the end in mind, you trust that God will lead you in the direction of your desires. And that trust becomes faith and faith, next to love, is the strongest force in the universe.

See yourself as you want to be. Feel the feelings, enjoy the moment. Daydreaming is not a bad thing. Don't worry how you're going to accomplish your goal - that's for the universe to decide. If you fume and fret over how and when it happens, you cut off the flow of creative energy that will bring your goals to you.

Think from the end. Discover your true north, your real desires. The key to having anything you want in life is to first know what you want. Visualize yourself as already having what you desire and trust, without fear or doubt, that God will bring your visions to you at the proper time and place.

Your job is to stay focused on your goals, believe that you already have them and take action when intuition, inspiration and opportunity arises.

So take Frankl's advice and think from the end. For if you do, the world will give you whatever you ask of it.
