Be the inventor

We look at inventors as those of us who come out with a brilliant idea out of thin air and act on it.  What if we applied that very principle to our lives?  What if we applied that principle to our present lives?  I tell people to invent their future.  Inventing your future is also looking at how you think and react right now.  It’s your personal paradigm.  Rabindranath Tagore says “Do not say,”it is morning,” and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.”

What would you name it?  Dare to imagine.  What’s possible?

So what can you do?

The first thing to do in being the architect of your life is to start looking at what is working right now through new eyes.  What’s amazing that you’re not paying attention to?  If you’re coloring all the great parts with a brush of what isn’t working, aren’t you minimizing what’s already great?  OK so take what’s great and build on it.  You know the concept, if at first you don’t succeed do something you’ve already been successful at?  What if your life was already successful in so many realms?  How extraordinary would it be and what would it look like?  Start writing.  It’s time to define it to the nth degree.

Define what you want

Take all the reasons you might list as to why something won’t work and trash them.  Park all your preconceived ideas of failure and replace them with possibility.  If you set your mind to everything that won’t work then all your energy and focus will remain on that negativity.  If you focus on what you can do, what you have a passion for, what you really want to create in your life and figure out the first step you need to do to get there, then it’ll happen.  Articulate it until you see it, feel it, and taste it and you’ll be half way there.

When’s the best time to start?  I know what I think.  What do you think?
