excitement, or joy. Actually
feel these emotions as you are
picturing your future life.
future has a huge impact on
our results. Do you think or say
things like, “I’ll never be able to
retire!” or “I’m so worried about
retirement?”
Thoughts are energy.
Focusing on what you are
afraid of, worried about, or
discouraged by will not help
you to see opportunities to
get ahead. Instead, replace
these scarcity thoughts with
abundant ones you can get
behind. Replace your worries
about what might happen
with a focus on what you are
doing, such as: “I’m saving on
a regular basis for my future,”
or “I know the world is always
changing, this brings new
opportunities,” or “I am so
grateful for ___________”

VISUALIZE SUCCESS
Many of the world’s best
athletes picture, in detail, their
competitions beforehand to
improve performance. The same
can be done with your financial
goals. Spend time picturing your
retirement. Be very specific in
focusing on what it will be like
for you with your retirement.
You can visualize the steps along
the way, including: saving on a
regular basis, the growth of your
investments, and feeling secure
about your financial future. Add
as much detail as you can to this
picture. What will you be doing
after you stop working? Who
will be there with you? What do
your surroundings look like? To
turbo-charge your vision, add
in how you will feel as this is
happening in your life. Maybe it’s
a feeling of peace, confidence,
There are people who
believe that they will never
be financially secure and
that they will be forced
to work their entire lives.
Unfortunately, unless these
people make some major
changes this will likely be
true for them. On the other
hand, if they could start to
picture a different future
for themselves, one which
includes a comfortable
retirement, they would be
much more likely to see a
better result. Mental images
of our finances play a crucial
part in creating prosperous
lives for ourselves.
Whether you’ve been training
for years for your retirement
or you are a newbie, moving
toward your goals, taking the
right action,s and following a
plan will help you to cross the
finish line feeling great and it
will inspire those around you to
do the same!
