Our future is not yet built. It is going to be built following our mental projections. It seems that having a vision for your life is the secret of living a fulfilled life. Sounds unbelievable, doesn’t it? Though, this idea has nothing to do with any mambo-jumbo method transforming us into wizards. I read a lot about the law of attraction and how to use the secret law of attraction. I also watched the movie ‘The Secret’ and I read on various forums how people struggle to apply the science taught inside the movie. A lot of gurus are selling methods and processes of successfully applying the law of attraction. I don’t deny it. The law of attraction really exists and is permanently in action around us and through us. It really can help us to reach our goals. But, the big mistake most people make when it comes to applying the law of attraction is that they treat it as a magic secret and not as our inner force helping us to find our true selves. They say in ‘The Secret’ that to materialize our wishes it is necessary to visualize them. And they give in the movie an example with a guy staying on his armchair in the living room and pretending he’s driving his dream car. Seeing that, most people imagine that making a wish and just imagining that we already have accomplished it is enough for the law of attraction to bring it to us in material form. And here comes the disappointment. Despite diligently applying the method, they don’t see any result. The luxurious car or the big house doesn’t come. And their conclusion is that the law of attraction is an invention of some people willing to sell dreams to others. The fact is that the example above induces a big confusion. The confusion between wish and vision of the future. Some specific wishes we have are signs of some deeper dreams or aspirations we carry inside us. Wishing a powerful car can show us that we need social recognition or self-confidence. We feel that we have value to give others, but others cannot see it or we are not capable yet of transforming it into a meaningful contribution to others.
Wishing a big house can show our need to spend better time with our family, to socialize more with our friends or relatives, and to have a place where we could better develop our passions and live a fulfilled life. Not connecting our wishes with our dreams and aspirations coming from our true selves make the desires impossible to be materialized. To get what we wish, we must build an integrated vision for our future. This vision comes from our true self, from our own values, and from the meaning we give our lives. It took me a long time to figure out how having a vision for your lives really makes a difference in what we’re living. The vision is the projection of our future which we permanently keep in our mind. Actually, it is the way we see ourselves in the future. When we think of our future, we always have an image in our minds. Even when we’re confused about our future we still have a vision. In order to control our future, we have to have a clear vision about where we want to go, what we want to be, and how we want to live. We have a blurred vision about our future when we simply don’t know the direction we are going. Or we just extrapolate the life circumstances we are living in seeing our future as a continuation of our present. We always have a vision – purposeful or not. And the vision we have is always materializing as time goes. What you expect deeply in your heart, what you believe would get is what you actually get. What you believe you will accomplish is what you’ll achieve. We can choose either to build a vision about our life deliberately or to keep the vision we already carry by default. It is our own choice. As long as I haven’t build a clear vision for my future believing that my future is not under my control, I was at the mercy of other people and circumstances and I manifested the results of the doubts and fears I envisioned. But at the very moment I realized that I really can live the vision created by myself, everything changed for me and my entire life got a meaning.
