Each Friday, I choose one of your questions and do my best to offer guidance and support to help you along your journey.

This week I chose a question that we can all answer – it can apply to each of us. I would love if we could all look within our souls and find the answer. If you feel comfortable doing so, I would love for you to leave your answer below.

I was on the phone with my mom yesterday, and we were talking about how much is happening in my life at the moment and how things are changing very quickly. She asked me this question:

If we fast forwarded to this time next year, how do you think your life will look? How will it be different from now?

I thought this was such a great question that I wanted to post it for each of you today.

What I love about this question is that it acts as our vision of how we would like our life to be. And from that vision, we can work backwards to begin to make it come true.

If we want to be a bestselling author one year from now, we need to start from that vision twelve months ahead, work backwards, and figure out when our book needs to be released, how much we need to write each day to make sure it’s released by that date, etc.

If we want to be healthy and strong one year from now, we can work backwards and figure out how we would need to change our diet and exercise routine to match this vision.

And because we’re working backwards, we start bigger and end up smaller – which means that our present moment begins with baby steps toward whatever goal we want to achieve. Once the baby steps become our new habits and new routines, we add more steps and goals. And pretty soon we realize that we’ve made huge life changes without overwhelming ourselves.

It’s such a powerful question, and I hope you take some time to think about where you want to be – where you will be – in exactly one year.

Dream it. Visualize It. Live It.
